What actually is a pyramid scheme? I read it is where the person at the top of the pyramid recruits someone to recruit other people and so on. People get a commission for everyone they recruit. Is that how it works or am I wrong?
@@fightforfreedom5292 yeah and that’s why this model ultimately falls apart. You see, people usually make money through selling products and get profits from it, not by people below feeding them money. Those unqualified people don’t have knowledge to sell things, and can only hope to recruit more people so they can get money from it. Once people don’t join your scam anymore, it start to break from the bottom up. The lower tiers suffer the most and have the most amount of people.
And in Sri Lanka, we've never even heard of them. Sri Lanka is a country with more fresh water than it can handle. They will be literally murdered if they try this scam here.
It's a new machine, pretty good chance it's just disinfectant from the filters supposed to stop disease. Not nice stuff to drink, but I think likely nicer than after the machine is a few weeks old when the disinfectant is all washed off the filters and bacteria start growing on it because that happens to all dehumidifiers.

@Joe Nicholson Cells try to keep the concentration of disolved electrolytes balanced. by consuming deminteralised water, you mess up the balance, which the cells will try to restore be taking in more water (due to the cells "skin" being a semipermeable membrane). if the cells were to take in to much water they would burst, hence causing harm, mostly in the intestine. the danger of drinking demineralised water is often a bit overstatet though. the human body is fairly resilient, so as long as you dont drink large amounts of it or drink it very regularily nothing happens. a glas or two doesnt really hurt.

Quick trick tip: notice during the electric test to show the differences in the waters, only one side was smoking when they took it out the of the cups. That side was the "dirty water." That smoke is coming from the coating they sprayed to make it seem dirty.
That smoke was heated chlorine and hydrogen gas coming off the anode and cathode reacting with the ambient air. Electrolysis produces Cl-2 and H-2 from the reaction with water (H20) and salt (NaCl). The saltier the water, the quicker it becomes dark when current is passed through it. Salts in water are actually good, they're minerals and "electrolytes" (like they put in Gatorade). However, passing electricity through metals dipped in water will make it unsafe to drink.

Nothin like a good ole fashioned scam straight from the depths of hell, thems were the days son, tie up muh pony at the trough and leave with a stallion to the ghost town over
This is like a triple scam. It's a simple dehumidifier that you can get cheaply anywhere, which is an inefficient way to produce water, promoted through a typical electrode scam trick, sold through a pyramid scheme. Oh, yes, and the distilled water that is being produced tastes terribly and is pretty bad for you. And, you don't need your whole filtration system. It's just taken the pure water out of the air. You don't need to filter it anymore. I'm somewhat surprised that there wasn't a stronger reaction from the dragons. This is the equivalent of a Nigerian prince and all they respond to is the pyramid scheme aspect. It was far worse than just that.
+Ben Baert "It's just taken the pure water out of the air. You don't need to filter it anymore." Haven't you noticed that all dehumidifiers clearly instruct you *not to drink* the water they produce? There's a reason for that. It's not safe. Rainwater isn't safe either. *Condensed water isn't safe.* Ironically, this product is one of the better 'water from air' devices (which are all, make no mistake, effectively scams) since it actually does include a filtration system. From what I can gather from their pitch, the water is held under UV-C light which will immediately kill any bacteria meaning the water it outputs will be perfectly safe. Please don't comment on things you don't know about.
@@benbaert2166 "Regular cleaning of the tank minimizes this problem, but I would say that unless you are planning to drink the water that has just dripped into a freshly cleaned tank, don’t do it." Thats from the article that you linked, they also say in that article that the water in a dehumidifier is demineralised and that is safe to drink. This is not actually true, and i actually found an official journal on it from WHO. Those same guys that we listen to in pandemic situations, like the one we are in right now. www.who.int/water_sanitation_health/dwq/nutrientschap12.pdf
@@ccaagg condensed water isnt imbued with any magical properties, there is no condensed water element or molecule. The issue with condensed water from a dehumidifier is that the container hasn't been built to store or disperse potable water. Pleas explain your understanding of UV-c light in terms of PAR, saturation and exposure time
That hokey "electrolyzer" test is bunk. If you electrolyze water you get hydrogen and oxygen. The water doesn't turn colors from that alone; they've got some trick going on to make it change colors, and those colors are in no way a good test of water purity. I'm not surprised it tastes bad either, that's basically air conditioner condensation they're drinking. It's going to have picked up contamination from the air and nothing short of a reverse osmosis filter will get that out of there. And if you have a reverse osmosis filter you don't need a fancy condenser.
@@silvianbruno7512 Probably because those types of schemes do end up making money for the ground floor. Barry assumed the Dragons would compromise their names for money.
@@Crunchy_Punch he said all the three words that are associated with a pyramid scheme “a pyramid multi level direct marketing.” all the three names seamlessly like it was one word.i wonder where and how Barry got the other “mil” he’s claimed he has “in hardwork”

@@tewrgh Water isn't the only thing in the air. You should review the water cycle from school. You can't drink rain water until it's been filtered by the ground.
@@PaulSmith-qs1es well, you can, but that water will be contaminated with anything it picked up from the air pollution. This is how rain becomes acidic.

6:11 "It’s good old fashioned pyramid, multi-level direct marketing." He literally used all of the terms related to a pyramid scheme from the Federal Trades Commission and smashed it into one term. Now that's transparency.
Not to mention when talking to Peter, they're like "We want your money and knowledge" for basically nothing in return. Then for him to refuse to say how much money they have in the company, is another crazy move, like unless I misunderstood, those are two red flags, even without him basically admitting it's a Pyramid scheme! lmao!
I think they expect barry to sit there arguing with people at the door until they buy their units. I got hired to go door to door and lasted three days. Rather then have me learn about the product u would be selling so i can explain to a potential customer how it would benefit them the person training me was insisting on me learning a script. A few times i asked him to let me to try to sell to the people and he said no because i could not remember the script. On the day i left, i told him people do not care about the script. if they are going to purchase what I am pitching I need to be able to explain to them how this product is better than all other similar products. when i was working at Sears i would make a point to listen to what the customer says and try to find products that meet their needs. If you are looking for a tv so your kids can play video games you likely want a cheap 15in tv and not a 75in plasma tv with surround sound stereo just like if you are looking for a tv for your Sunday night football meetups with your friends a 15in tv will not cut it for you. When it came to suggesting peripherals i would simply suggest ones that would enhance what was being bought. It would be my goal to have the customer leave the store with what they bought and not have to return 30 days later to return it. Lets just say that I met my monthly quotas in the first weeks of each month. Sales is all about solving the problems of those who come to you.
"Runs through a condensing unit like a dehumidifier" It is a dehumidifier. It produces undrinkable water that requires purification to be potable and is dependant on high humidity to work. In places it works, it costs more than municipal water supplies, in places with low humidity, it produces next to no water. The machine itself is a fraud.
@@joelbadger9661 Well, they do work. I use a dehumidifier in my basement and it produces a constant trickle of water down my drain. They just don't work as advertised for creating potable water especially in places that would need the highly inefficient and expensive water.
@@joelbadger9661 Nope. No need to preload any water. This is simple chemistry. One rod is steel, another is aluminium. As you pass a strong current through the rods, they undergo a process called galvanic corrosion. The discoloration is essentially rust in the water. This is a fraudulent "trick" commonly used by water filter salesmen to convince people that their water is bad when it is in fact perfectly fine.
Two things really stood out for me: What on earth did they spend £200,000 on so far? And, it's not a pyramid scheme. They were not selling it to people to recruit people to sell it to: they wanted to sell it directly. So they couldn't even get that part right!
@@whichDude many people dislike the taste of water that doesn't have a mineral content that is probably why they were complaining about the taste. And even if the people making the product are willing to flat out lie about their machine they would probably still include a filter and sterilization system, dehumidifiers tend to grow a lot of bacteria and lawsuits from people who become sick after drinking their water would get very expensive very quickly if they didn't implement something to reduce this risk.
The reason it tastes weird is likely because it's basically distilled water. There's no ions in it or not in the concentrations that we're used to when drinking from the tap. Also drinking distilled water is NOT good for you!

@Gemma Saint Yup, had experience of Kirkby a few times. When I was a kid - the same xp - they just wouldn't leave. They did the old call to the boss thing too for a super special offer. Asked for recommendations of people they could then pester as they left. Then when I was an adult, I got a random call that I'd won a prize and they wanted to send around someone with my vouchers. I said 'It's Kirkby hoovers, isn't it? Don't bother. We have wood floors. She insisted. You should have seen the young lad's face when he turned up. I invited him anyway, gave him a drink (it was a hot day) and asked him about the job. He said it was the best he'd ever had (he was about 18), but he was driving his own car (no expenses), it was all commission only and all the same techniques as before." Scammers.

He sure talked as fast as a slimey sales guy. I hate those people who call and bombard you with chatter before you even have had the chance to say hello.
The worst part for me wasn’t the pyramid scheme. It was the science. Good tasting, healthy and clean water is supposed to have a mixture of minerals in it. If the machine is taking water from the air it would be water mixed with a bit of hydrogen, nitrogen and a few other gases. Even if they were just getting pure water (H2O) it still wouldn’t be as good as normal filtered tap water.
exactly, not only will it not resupply your body's much needed minerals, it will actually flush them out of the system. terrible idea & pitch. unless you're on the brink of dying of thirst, you shouldn't be drinking distilled water ...

There's nothing wrong with MLM if the retail part of the business works and makes people money. I've even seen James Kahn happily speaking at an MLM conference when Duncan Bannatyne pulled out last minute. It's just that pressurised doorstep sales aren't really the done thing anymore. Decent product, terrible business.
Ye, I worked for such companies selling door-to-door 10 or so years ago. They do not pay you minimum wage, you work on commission, they drop you somwhere in cold and you walk around neighbourhoods for 12 hours annoying people. The worst job I've done in my life.
I swear it was so David Brent when he said “...and about a million in hard work” *tongue in cheek* that I was expecting him to wink at Deborah then look at the camera with a smug grin.
Until now, I didn’t realise the expression “tongue-in-cheek” also had such a literal meaning. You’re spot on with Brent too, I was waiting for him to elbow his business partner, then point at Theo and say “see, he gets it, yeah?”
They're going to sell door to door, but need to leave the machine set up overnight or the water tastes terrible.... "Excuse me I'd like to show you the amazing water you can get from our revolutionary machine." (1 out of 100 homes) "Well, ok, I guess you can come in and show me" "We can't show you yet, we need to set up the machine now and come back tomorrow to do a demonstration" "Get out!"
@@lillisetterose954 Kinda of incorrect. The reason dehumidifiers say not to, is because the water is the byproduct in that situation. In this case, the water is the main product, and thus it's kept in a sterile unit and is filtered.
Definitely; it’s an awful thought when considering potential for fungus/viral water Next up top up at your condenser tumble drier water with detergent residues in as an ‘anti-bacterial’.
To be fair, both presenters are sweating like crazy. This must be done on purpose. You'll notice that none of the dragons are sweating. The presenters must be lit with halogen lamps and the dragons must be lit with LED lights.

This is like a triple scam. It's a simple dehumidifier that you can get cheaply anywhere, which is an inefficient way to produce water, promoted through a typical electrode scam trick, sold through a pyramid scheme. Oh, yes, and the distilled water that is being produced tastes terribly and is pretty bad for you.
And, you don't need your whole filtration system. It's just taken the pure water out of the air. You don't need to filter it anymore.
I'm somewhat surprised that there wasn't a stronger reaction from the dragons. This is the equivalent of a Nigerian prince and all they respond to is the pyramid scheme aspect. It was far worse than just that.
+Ben Baert
"It's just taken the pure water out of the air. You don't need to filter it anymore."
Haven't you noticed that all dehumidifiers clearly instruct you *not to drink* the water they produce? There's a reason for that. It's not safe. Rainwater isn't safe either. *Condensed water isn't safe.*
Ironically, this product is one of the better 'water from air' devices (which are all, make no mistake, effectively scams) since it actually does include a filtration system. From what I can gather from their pitch, the water is held under UV-C light which will immediately kill any bacteria meaning the water it outputs will be perfectly safe.
Please don't comment on things you don't know about.

That hokey "electrolyzer" test is bunk. If you electrolyze water you get hydrogen and oxygen. The water doesn't turn colors from that alone; they've got some trick going on to make it change colors, and those colors are in no way a good test of water purity. I'm not surprised it tastes bad either, that's basically air conditioner condensation they're drinking. It's going to have picked up contamination from the air and nothing short of a reverse osmosis filter will get that out of there. And if you have a reverse osmosis filter you don't need a fancy condenser.

If the machine needs to sit overnight, then how are they doing door to door demonstrations?

Ikr, its there final braincells.
They said it was a new machine, so maybe it only needs to sit overnight when initially set up? No clue.
I think they expect barry to sit there arguing with people at the door until they buy their units. I got hired to go door to door and lasted three days. Rather then have me learn about the product u would be selling so i can explain to a potential customer how it would benefit them the person training me was insisting on me learning a script. A few times i asked him to let me to try to sell to the people and he said no because i could not remember the script. On the day i left, i told him people do not care about the script. if they are going to purchase what I am pitching I need to be able to explain to them how this product is better than all other similar products. when i was working at Sears i would make a point to listen to what the customer says and try to find products that meet their needs. If you are looking for a tv so your kids can play video games you likely want a cheap 15in tv and not a 75in plasma tv with surround sound stereo just like if you are looking for a tv for your Sunday night football meetups with your friends a 15in tv will not cut it for you. When it came to suggesting peripherals i would simply suggest ones that would enhance what was being bought. It would be my goal to have the customer leave the store with what they bought and not have to return 30 days later to return it. Lets just say that I met my monthly quotas in the first weeks of each month. Sales is all about solving the problems of those who come to you.
@@atch300 It's a dehumidifier. They take time to draw water out of the air.
"Runs through a condensing unit like a dehumidifier"
It is a dehumidifier. It produces undrinkable water that requires purification to be potable and is dependant on high humidity to work. In places it works, it costs more than municipal water supplies, in places with low humidity, it produces next to no water. The machine itself is a fraud.
Exactly. There's no way that machine running indoors for an hour would have condensed enough for four glasses of water.
The electrode "test" is also a scam. It doesn't test anything, it just dissolves the rods into the water.
Exactly! The water was preloaded, these DON'T WORK
@@joelbadger9661 Well, they do work. I use a dehumidifier in my basement and it produces a constant trickle of water down my drain. They just don't work as advertised for creating potable water especially in places that would need the highly inefficient and expensive water.
@@joelbadger9661 Nope. No need to preload any water. This is simple chemistry. One rod is steel, another is aluminium. As you pass a strong current through the rods, they undergo a process called galvanic corrosion. The discoloration is essentially rust in the water. This is a fraudulent "trick" commonly used by water filter salesmen to convince people that their water is bad when it is in fact perfectly fine.
Two things really stood out for me: What on earth did they spend £200,000 on so far? And, it's not a pyramid scheme. They were not selling it to people to recruit people to sell it to: they wanted to sell it directly. So they couldn't even get that part right!

The worst part for me wasn’t the pyramid scheme. It was the science. Good tasting, healthy and clean water is supposed to have a mixture of minerals in it.

Even if they were just getting pure water (H2O) it still wouldn’t be as good as normal filtered tap water.
