Abstract
Disclosed is a mobile water filtering system that is compact, lightweight, and capable of producing pure healthy water for numerous people in remote locations. In addition, the mobile water filtering system can include desalination so that ocean water can be purified to create drinking water. The system uses a low resistance sediment filter and a low resistance impurity filter prior to reverse osmosis filtration. Remineralization is provided of the filtered reverse osmosis water. A portable pump can be used together with a voltage regulator that allows application of a wide range of voltages from various voltage supplies.
Claims8
A mobile system for filtering water to create potable water comprising:
- a feed bladder that is stored proximate to said mobile system, for storing unfiltered water from a water source to be filtered by said mobile system;
- a mobile pump that is self-priming and that can operate with battery power, said mobile pump configured to pump water from said water source for storage in said feed bladder, and pump water from said feed bladder to create a supply of unfiltered water that has a water pressure that is sufficient to pump said unfiltered water through at least two pre-filters and a reverse osmosis filtering system;
- an aggregate pre-filter that uses amino-silicate minerals to remove particles greater than five microns to create an aggregate reduced supply of pressurized water;
- a kinetic degradation pre-filter that removes chlorine, heavy metals and microorganisms from said aggregate reduced supply of pressurized water to produce an impurity reduced water supply;
- a reverse osmosis water filter that filters said impurity reduced water supply to produce a potable pressurized water supply;
- a re-mineralization canister that contains re-mineralization granules that creates potable, mineralized, pressurized water;
- a portable battery pack connected to said mobile pump and a voltage converter that allows charging by voltage sources that are less than and greater than an output voltage of said portable battery pack.
A method of filtering water to create potable water comprising the steps of:
- pumping unfiltered water, with a self-priming mobile pump that can operate with battery power, to a feed bladder for storage;
- pumping said unfiltered water from said feed bladder to create a supply of pressurized unfiltered water having a pressure that is sufficient to operate a reverse osmosis filtering system after passing through at least two pre-filters;
- applying said pressurized unfiltered water supply to an aggregate pre-filter that uses amino-silicate minerals that can pre-filter particles greater than five microns and create an aggregate reduced supply of pressurized water;
- applying said aggregate reduced supply of pressurized water to a kinetic degradation flexion pre-filter to remove chlorine, heavy metals and microorganisms to produce an impurity reduced pressurized water supply;
- applying said impurity reduced pressurized water supply to a reverse osmosis filter to produce a potable, pressurized water supply;
- applying said potable, pressurized water supply to a remineralization system to create potable, mineralized, pressurized water;
- using a battery pack to supply power to said self-priming, mobile pump, said battery pack configured to be changed from a solar collector;
- providing a secondary power input and a voltage regulator so that power sources that are greater than and less than voltage produced by said battery pack can be used to power said method of filtering water and to change said battery pack.
