Is this type of tech a hoax or it is really thing that was not considered enough for the upcoming water crisis around the world?

funny that my response to you directly was so similar! I would say, back of napkin math, that desalination being over 150x efficient than these new machines would make up the deficits so extremely quickly that it's not even worth considering the long-term costs between the 2, the desalination plants beat these dehumidifiers that much more quickly.
