Novus purifiers are different, using proprietary high speed and energy efficient vapour distillation to purify, rather than consummate filters and membranes like traditional purifiers. We believe good water purifiers should contain 3 things: Evaporative purification technology; High temperature (>100C) to capture & destroy contaminants; Smart sensors to automatically monitor and ensure consistency.

The device operates by distillation, which involves boiling of input water. MVCD technology operates at approx. 22 times more efficient than boiling a kettle. Unlike traditional (ie filter-based) systems, MVCD does NOT require a costly (in $$ AND in carbon footprint) ongoing supply of consumables, which then have to be disposed of.

During operation, the device consumes approx. 350 watts, around that of a standard refridgerator (though the energy consumed during “heating” phase is higher, this reduces significantly  when operating temperature is reached, thus the overall average figure).

Whilst drinking water in many parts of the world is certified by relevant water bodies / legislation, these simply define “worst-case” acceptance levels, rather than desired. We can help by: Link to water test
