Looks like to cooling unit is pretty wide, as well. If I had to wear that big a backpack, that loaded, I think I'd be using Panniers, and basing the Fontus design in one of those. Just a thought, not like I'm encouraging this. I should think the water coming from this machine would only be as clean as the condensing unit. Water comes out of my air conditioner, too. That doesn't mean I want to drink it.
