Abstract
The present invention is directed towards a method and apparatus for sanitizing treated water of an unsatisfactory quality so as to produce sanitized water which is potable and of a satisfactory quality. The method comprises the steps of filtering, irradiating, and, ozonating the treated water so as to sanitize the treated water in a water sanitization assembly. The sanitized water is then stored in a sanitized water tank. Upon demand by a user, a pump is activated to pump the sanitized water out of the sanitized water tank and through a carbon filter to a dispensing outlet.
Claims20
A method of sanitizing treated water of an unsatisfactory quality so as to produce sanitized water which of a satisfactory quality, the method comprising the steps of:
- receiving treated water from a water supply at an inlet to a water sanitization assembly;
- filtering the received treated water in an inlet particle filter to partially sanitize he treated water;
- irradiating the filtered water in an irradiator to further sanitize the filtered water;
- ozonating the irradiated water in an aerator to sanitize the irradiated water;
- storing the sanitized water in a sanitized water tank;
- and
- upon demand by a user, activating a controlled pump to pump the sanitized water out of the sanitized water tank and through a carbon filter so as to flow along a potable water supply and arrive at a dispensing outlet.
A water sanitization assembly for sanitizing treated water of an unsatisfactory quality so as to produce sanitized water which is potable and of a satisfactory quality, the water sanitization assembly comprising:
- an inlet to receive treated water from a water supply;
- an inlet particle filter to filter the received water so as to partially sanitize the treated water;
- an irradiator to irradiate the filtered water so as to further sanitize the filtered water;
- an aerator to entrain the irradiated water with ozone so as to ozonate the water and in doing so sanitize the irradiated water;
- a sanitized water tank to receive and store the sanitized water;
- and
- a controlled pump to pump the sanitized water from the sanitized water tank, through a carbon filter so as to flow along a potable water supply to a dispensing outlet.
