In Summer 2005 Zonnewater was kindly invited by the Indian company Fontus Water to install a prototype of the Aqua Solaris on their facilities for product evaluation

Research and development often is unpredictable. The tests in Delhi have been less
successful than the prototype runs on the Island of Bonnaire. It turned out that
the system design used in Bonnaire reacts too sensitive to changes in the radiation
balance. A constant haze (Smog) in Delhi results in a much less favorable ratio of
direct to diffuse radiation, which resulted in significantly reduced performance
of the entire system. The goal however must be to develop a water maker that is operational
under as wide a range of environmental and geographical conditions, as possible.
The
direct outcome of the Delhi tests and earlier tests in Italy in the same year were
experimentswith new concepts in The Netherlands later that year and South Africa
in 2006.
