Don’t worry—commercial systems come in all shapes. You can get one the size of a toaster. Or a fridge. Or a small car. I saw one unit that looked like R2-D2 after a growth spurt. It had blinking lights and everything.
The biggest systems can process 50 gallons per minute. That’s a firehose of pure, crisp, delicious life juice. You could water the entire office plant collection in thirty seconds. The ficus will finally respect you.
Maintenance: The Easy, Fun Part
Changing the filter is like changing a lightbulb—if the lightbulb weighed twenty pounds and was full of crushed coconuts. It’s actually weirdly satisfying. You unscrew the old one, slide in the new one, and feel a click of victory.
Some systems have a digital display that sings a little tune when it’s done. Others just flash a green light. You will high-five the machine. No judgment.
