Abstract
A water purification system that generates ozone and passes the ozone through stored purified water to reduce the growth and/or presence of bacteria, organisms, and/or other undesirable components in purified water.
Claims12
A fluid purification method comprising:
- filtering fluid through a particulate filter to remove particulates and first dissolved solids from the fluid;
- filtering the fluid through a reverse osmosis filter to remove second dissolved solids from the fluid;
- flowing the fluid into a reservoir after filtering the fluid through the particulate filter and the reverse osmosis filter, the fluid entering the reservoir above a baffle that transects the reservoir, the baffle including at least one ridge;
- bubbling ozone gas into the fluid in the reservoir below the baffle;
- trapping, below the baffle and within the at least one ridge, a portion of the ozone gas bubbled into the reservoir;
- forming a bubble of ozone gas below the baffle;
- increasing the volume of the bubble of ozone gas;
- bleeding the bubble from below the baffle by allowing the bubble of ozone gas to bleed out between the at least one ridge and the baffle;
- and
- flowing the fluid out of the reservoir below the baffle.

A fluid purification method comprising:
- flowing a fluid into a reservoir, the fluid entering above a baffle that transects the reservoir, the baffle including at least one ridge;
- bubbling ozone gas into the fluid in the reservoir below the baffle;
- trapping the ozone gas below the baffle using the at least one ridge;
- forming a bubble of ozone gas below the baffle;
- increasing the volume of the bubble of ozone gas;
- retaining the bubble of ozone gas below the baffle until the bubble reaches a predetermined size;
- allowing the bubble of ozone gas to bleed out around the at least one ridge;
- and
- flowing the fluid out of the reservoir below the baffle.
