Don't curse the muggy summer heat - harvest it. The Dolphin 2 transforms dank air into drinking water. The countertop purifier-dehumidifier works by sucking up the surrounding atmosphere, removing dust and pollen, and extracting moisture before venting it back into the room. The leftover H2O (up to 0.5 liters per hour) is deposited into a 1.85-gallon tank, where it's blasted with UV and filtered through carbon. Finally, the cleansed aqua is delivered to the tap. Now that's refreshing.
