My thinking is, if you live in a dry environment you may be able to generate enough water to say water crops and live on if you had enough electricity to run large enough airconditioners. That could open up large areas that are naturally dry environments to sustainable living.
The same principle is used in atmospheric water generators, the condensate collected and filtered, and you have clean drinking. Used in areas with non potable or no water,
Too bad ours drips into the sump pump well so I never realized how much water good be produced. The idea came up because I have been thinking of doing a rainwater barrel and apparently some people hook up their sump pump to drain water into their barrel
Why did you pick on Texas. Texas is huge and has a very diverse climate. Florida is more humid but I guess you have little experience outside your area. How about the Gulf Coast and Southern Atlantic coast? AC in that zone doesn’t make a couple of pints a day, they make gallons, ie a lot more. The lawns would be a soggy, moldy and fungus ridden. Especially older houses that don’t have a good vapor barrier. Water has to go to the sewer from the primary. The secondary goes to the pan and then out the soffit over a window so the homeowner can notice it. (And ignore it for weeks but that’s another story). The pan has a float switch in case the secondary gets blocked. On the gulf coast you can’t stop the ac for a blocked drain.
There's no reference in this video to Texas. It was recorded in Mobile, Alabama on a home with a float drain shutoff. The narration and transcript shows 3 gallons of water in 4 hours. Are you seeing the video embedded somewhere else with other information?
I get 5 gals overnight with a small window shaker ac unit. High desert, only 16% humidity at the moment. Here's a trick. Run your condensate line to a small tank with a bilge switch and 12v pump. Water your plants or a couple of fruit trees. You're paying for that water anyway via your electrical bill. If you're cheap like me, use a small solar panel, charge controller and an old battery for the pump. Why waste that water when it can be making your food.

Interesting!!
If I can fix AC in my car I can survive in 🏜️ desert 😂😂😂
Is it drinkable?? 🧐🤔
No, it is not advisable to drink this condensed water.
Can you filtered and mineralize it ??
