A portable water purification and collection system includes a cabinet member having an interior chamber defined by a plurality of side walls, one of which has a vent thereon. Received within the interior chamber and adjacent the vent is a fan for inducing air flow from the atmosphere to the cabinet interior. Between the fan and the vent is an electrostatic air filter for removing particulates from the air as well as a condenser for producing condensate therefrom. The resulting condensate drips into a collection reservoir and then to an ultraviolet light unit that destroys microorganisms within the condensate. From the ultraviolet light unit, the condensate flows to a main reservoir from which it may be dispensed to an external container via a spigot mounted to a cabinet side wall.

[What is claimed is:] [1.]a cabinet member having an interior chamber;an air circulation means received within said cabinet member for inducing air flow from the atmosphere to said cabinet interior chamber;a condenser means received within said interior chamber for cooling ambient air to a temperature sufficient to induce moisture condensation therefrom;a first reservoir means adjacent said condenser means for receiving condensate produced by said condenser means;a second reservoir means in fluid communication with said sterilizing means for receiving said condensate therefrom;an ultraviolet light unit in fluid communication with said first reservoir means, said unit including a hollow housing having an ultraviolet light source encompassed by a quartz sleeve and a sight port for allowing a user to observe said light source, said sleeve and light source received within said housing, the space between said light source and said housing defining a flow path for said condensate whereby microorganisms within said condensate are exposed to ultraviolet light.
