That's the thing, it has NO FILTER, NO CHEMICALS and NO MEMBRANE the machine is pure TECHNOLOGY.

in a certain way his invention and everybody else's was influenced by Alien tech after that point.

Dean Kamen got the credit for inventing the machine.
It's obvious that most people think he did it on he's own.
To me I think it's a bit odd that all this other filtration (systems) that people stated and that's been around for 30 years or longer, some that are as huge as a Plant and other that take massive electricity it's out there.
Then somehow comes out this machine that managed to combined all of them together in a small box and plugs on a 110 socket BUT yet it has none of their FLAWS...filters,chemicals, membranes...etc. and it does it better
by filtering chemical waste if you feel like doing it.
6. Deionization
The ion-exchange resins capture dissolved ions in the feed water at the top of the cell. Electric current applied across the module pulls those ions through the ion-selective membrane towards the electrodes. Cations are pulled through the cation-permeable membrane towards the cathode, and anions through the anion-selective membrane towards the anode. These ions, however, are unable to travel all the way to their respective electrodes since they come to the adjacent ion-selective membrane which is of the opposite charge. This prevents further migrations of ions, which are then forced to concentrate in the space between the cells. This space is known as the "concentrate" channel, and the ions concentrated in this area are flushed out of the system to the drain.
The channel running through the resin bed in the center of the cell is known as the "dilute" channel. As water passes down this channel, it is progressively deionized. At the lower end of the dilute channel, where water is free of ions, splitting of H2O occurs in the electric field. This generates H+ and OH- which regenerate the ion exchange resins, effectively eliminating chemical regeneration.

7. Ultraviolet Radiation
Recent advances in UV lamp technology have resulted in the production of special lamps which generate both 185 nm and 254 nm UV light. This combination of wavelengths is necessary for the photooxidation of organic compounds. With these special lamps, Total Organic Carbon (TOC) levels in high purity water can be reduced to 5 ppb.

People think it might be Alien tech because the statement was posed to people who are on the ATS site. Same group of people that argue the possibility of a hollow-earth, the existance of Retilian-humanoids(?), the coming planet Nibiru, the NWO, and any number of ridiculous fantasies. That's not to say that EVERYONE on here is a nut, obviously not. Im just saying there are loads of people on this board who would believe just about anything you tell them, so long as it runs contrary to accepted wisdom and common sense.
