Abstract
Embodiments of a water treatment system, a method of regenerating a water treatment system, a use of a water softener valve and an ozone kit for a water filtration system are provided. The water treatment system includes a water tank containing iron filtration media; an ozone gas source having an outlet; and a water softener valve having a venturi nozzle that is associated with the water tank and in fluid communication with the outlet of the ozone gas source, the water softener valve configured to invoke a regeneration mode during which the water softener valve controls backwashing of the iron filtration media and then permits ozone gas from the ozone gas source to be drawn through the venturi nozzle and into the water tank.
Claims14
A water treatment system comprising:
- a water tank containing iron filtration media;
- an ozone gas source having an outlet;
- and
- a water softener valve having a venturi nozzle that is associated with the water tank and in fluid communication with the outlet of the ozone gas source, the water softener valve configured to invoke a regeneration mode during which the water softener valve controls backwashing of the iron filtration media and then permits ozone gas from the ozone gas source to be drawn through the venturi nozzle and into the water tank.
A method of regenerating a water treatment system comprising:
- backwashing iron filtration media within a water tank;
- and
- drawing ozone gas from an ozone gas source through a venturi nozzle of the water softener valve into the water tank.
Use of a water softener valve to draw ozone gas into an iron filtration water tank during regeneration.
An ozone kit for a water filtration system that comprises a water tank and a control system, the ozone kit comprising:
- an ozone gas source configured to be controllable by the control system to begin and end releasing ozone gas for drawing through the venturi nozzle into the water tank;
- and
- a conduit configured to convey ozone gas from the ozone gas into the water tank via a venturi nozzle.
