Abstract
The current application is directed to cost-effective and efficient well-water treatment systems that employ both multi-layer filtration and aeration to remove undesirable gasses, such as carbon dioxide, hydrogen sulfide, methane, radon, and volatile organic-compound gasses from input well water as well as particulate contaminants and soluble metal ions, including iron and manganese. The well-water treatment systems to which the current application is directed additionally remove many other types of well-water contaminants.
Claims7
A well-water treatment system comprising:
- an input pipe that receives pumped well water;
- a mass-transfer tube, connected to the input pipe, that receives pumped well water from the input pipe and pressurized air from an air pump and that outputs aerated water through a first internal pipe to an aeration tank;
- an aeration tank that stores aerated water received from the mass-transfer tube, allowing gaseous contaminants and excess air to vent to the external environment;
- a filtration tank that receives aerated water from the aeration tank, the received water passing through internal layers of filtration media before being output to a second internal pipe through a final filter to an internal water-supply line of a residence or commercial building.
