Contact : FAQ
1- Are your products marketed ?
We actually focus on WMS1000 production and marketing, with a device of 1000 liters of water per day.
2- Where are you products manufactured
Our products are manufactured in France.
3- Where can we see a windmill?
The WMS50 (50 liters per day) can be seen today at Sainte Tulle (Fr-04). The WMS1000 implementation is planned for the end of the year 2010 in the south of France.
4- When small devices are planned to be marketed for individuals?
It is planned to develop and market small devices (50 liters of water per day) for 2012.
5- Who are you customers?
Our main customers are local communities, eco-hotel, and large farms.
6- Who should use this device?
The purpose of this invention is to provide access to drinkable water to many. It is therefore indented to isolated villages, large farms, no water networks islands. The device can be used in the entire world. (Africa, Europe, North or South America, Asia, Australia).
7- Are there any current distributors or representatives that we could contact for information?
Our distribution network is being built. For any question relating to device acquisition, all Eole Water teams remain at your disposal, by mail or phone.
8- Where the windmill can be set up?
Wind and humidity rate are the unique engine the device needs. It is technically possible to implement it in a large part of the world. However, atmospheric conditions survey (wind, temperature, humidity) must be realized before setting the windmill up. This is helpful to get an optimum yield.
9- Is the water produced drinkable ?
This is the main objective of that device: provide drinkable water to many. Therefore, there are several steps that insure water quality:
1- Filtration
2- Sterilization
3- Ultrafiltration
4- Mineralisation
10- Is it possible to switch between water and power with this device?
Yes it is. Quantity of water and power can be chosen daily according to your need, thanks to an electronical box.
Example :
- 100 per cent of water
- 50 per cent of water / 50 per cent of power
- 30 per cent of water / 70 per cent of energy
11- Where can the water be stored?
There is a store protected tank at the foot of the windmill, water running down by the mast. The tank capacity has to be defined by the user.
12- Is the windmill enough resistant with strong winds?
A mechanical system allows regulating automatically the blades openings in order to slow down rotation speed. When the wind reaches 50 m/s speed, the mast can be lowered to avoid accidents. Moreover, this device incorporates a braking system of the axis rotation of the blades.
13- Are windmills recyclables at the end of their lifes ?
Minded by ecology and in accordance with European standards R.E.A.CH., the materials used are entirely recyclables. Maintained properly, the device may have lifespan of 30 or 40 years before recycling.
14- Does the windmill have an important impact on environment?
None. Wind and air are the unique engine needed to make the device work. Thus, it preserve groundwater and does not emit CO2. The process is completely environmentally friendly.
15- Who pays for the windmills maintenance?
Contracts for maintenance can be set up. In terms of maintenance, every year, a UVC filters changing and a visual control are needed to take care of the windmill good-working.
