A water treatment apparatus (10) comprising an air flow means (24, 26), a condenser (22), a pump, one or more spray means and an evaporator body (12, 14, 16) having an evaporator chamber wherein, in use, the evaporator body (12, 14, 16) is heated by solar energy, the pump forces salt water through the or each spray means such that salt water is introduced into the evaporation chamber in a finely divided form, and the air flow means (24, 26) forces air through the evaporator chamber, to the condenser (22) where the humidified air is cooled to induce condensation and produce potable water. |
