Man reveals how he earns thousands from selling AC water
A Nigerian man has revealed how he earns thousands of naira by collecting and selling the water that drips from his air conditioner (AC), encouraging others to venture into the unusual but profitable business.
The revelation was made in a post shared on the social media platform TikTok.
In the video, the man explained that he harvests the water from his AC into kegs and sells it to resellers, who in turn sell it at a higher price.
According to him, the water serves several purposes beyond toilet flushing, which is why there is a growing demand for it in the market.
“This is how they harvest the AC water they sell to you for ₦10,000 in the market,” he said. “I sell it to them for ₦3,000, and they resell for ₦6,000 to ₦10,000.”
He further advised people not to waste the water from their air conditioners but to store and sell it instead.
“The water coming from your AC isn’t for flushing alone. You can sell it—people are buying it,” he added.
The video quickly went viral, sparking mixed reactions in the comment section as users expressed both surprise and curiosity over the claim.
