Claims20
A device for controlling microbial growth in water, said device comprising:
- a flow-through housing having a housing wall structure, a housing volume surrounded by the housing wall structure, and one or more openings within the housing wall structure;
- and
- fluid treatment media occupying at least a portion of the housing volume within the flow-through housing, said fluid treatment media comprising:
- an anti-microbial component on a support material;
- and
- at least one of (i) a bifunctional ligand, (ii) a scale inhibitor and (iii) a disinfectant/biofilm removal material;
- wherein the fluid treatment media has a size that prevents the fluid treatment media from escaping the one or more openings within the housing wall structure.

A device for controlling microbial growth in water, said device comprising:
- a flow-through housing having a housing wall structure, a housing volume surrounded by the housing wall structure, and one or more openings within the housing wall structure;
- wherein the housing wall structure of the flow-through housing comprises:
- an upper half,
- a lower half connected to the upper half, and
- a filling cap connected to the upper half or the lower half;
- said one or more openings being positioned within the upper half, the lower half, or both;
- and
- fluid treatment media occupying at least a portion of the housing volume within the flow-through housing, said fluid treatment media comprising an anti-microbial component on a support material;
- wherein the fluid treatment media has a size that prevents the fluid treatment media from escaping the one or more openings within the housing wall structure.

- said one or more openings being positioned within the upper half, the lower half, or both;
- and
- fluid treatment media occupying at least a portion of the housing volume within the flow-through housing, fluid water treatment media comprising:
- an anti-microbial component on a support material, wherein the anti-microbial component comprises a transition metal, a transition metal oxide, or a combination thereof;
- and
- at least one of (i) a scale inhibitor comprising an inorganic phosphate, a phosphonate, a polycarboxylate, or a combination thereof, and (ii) a disinfectant/biofilm removal material comprising sodium percarbonate, calcium hypochlorite, potassium monopersulfate, sodium persulfate, or a combination thereof,
- wherein the fluid treatment media has a size that prevents the fluid treatment media from escaping the one or more openings within the housing wall structure.
