The GX-8 Moisture Vaporator,[1] also known as the GX-8 water vaporator or the GX-8 condenser unit, was a model of moisture vaporator manufactured by Pretormin Environmental Corporation. When optimally positioned at 250 meters from one another, each device could collect 1.5 liters (1.5 quarts) of water from the air per day, even when the relative humidity was only 1.5 percent. The GX-8 was commonly used on the desert planet of Tatooine,[2] where many units were joined together over a vast area to create a moisture farm.[4] GX-8 condensers were also used by Galen Erso and his family during their self-imposed exile on Lah'mu to collect drinkable water, as the planet's mineral content affected its hydrosphere and made groundwater unpleasant to drink.[5]
