Abstract
A system and method for increasing total dissolved solids (TDS) concentration and pH of water is provided herein. The water is processed using a variety of filtration and purification methods, including carbon filtration, water softening, reverse osmosis, and electrodeionization. After filtration and purification, the water is pumped into a mineral infusion chamber, including a plurality of bioceramic components. At least one TDS sensor monitors the TDS concentration of the water stream, and a flow rate out of the mineral infusion chamber is controlled by a flow control valve based on sensor data produced by the at least one TDS sensor.
Claims20
A system for generating mineral-infused water, comprising:
- an inlet for receiving water;
- a water purification system configured to remove particulates from the water;
- at least one mineral infuser;
- a first valve configured to allow and/or restrict water flow between the water purification system and the at least one mineral infuser;
- a second valve configured to allow and/or restrict water flow between the at least one mineral infuser and the water purification system;
- a pump connected between the water purification system and the at least one mineral infuser after the first valve;
- at least one total dissolved solids (TDS) sensor and/or at least one pH sensor configured to detect TDS and/or pH of water exiting the at least one mineral infuser;
- and
- at least one controller configured to receive sensor data from the at least one TDS sensor and/or the at least one pH sensor and control the first valve and/or the second valve based on the TDS and/or the pH of the water exiting the at least one mineral infuser;
- wherein the at least one controller causes the water exiting the at least one mineral infuser to be recirculated through the first valve based on the TDS of the water exiting the at least one mineral infuser and a minimum preset threshold.
A method for generating mineral-infused water, comprising:
- pumping water in through an inlet of a water purification system;
- the water purification system removing particulates from the water;
- a first valve allowing or restricting water flow between the water purification system and at least one mineral infuser;
- a second valve allowing or restricting water flow between the at least one mineral infuser and the water purification system;
- at least one total dissolved solids (TDS) sensor and/or at least one pH sensor detecting TDS and/or pH of water exiting the at least one mineral infuser;
- at least one controller receiving sensor data from the at least one TDS sensor and/or the at least one pH sensor and controlling the first valve and/or the second valve based on the TDS and/or the pH of the water exiting the at least one mineral infuser;
- and
- the at least one controller causing the water exiting the at least one mineral infuser to be recirculated through the first valve based on the TDS of the water and a preset minimum threshold.
A system for generating mineral-infused water, comprising:
- an inlet for receiving water;
- a water purification system;
- at least one mineral infuser;
- a first valve configured to allow and restrict water flow exiting the water purification system and the at least one mineral infuser;
- a second valve configured to allow and restrict water flow exiting the at least one mineral infuser and the water purification system;
- at least one diverter positioned downstream of the water purification system and upstream of the at least one mineral infuser;
- a pump connected between the water purification system and the at least one mineral infuser after the first valve;
- at least one total dissolved solids (TDS) sensor and/or at least one pH sensor configured to detect TDS and/or pH of water exiting the at least one mineral;
- and
- at least one controller configured to receive sensor data from the at least one TDS sensor and/or the at least one pH sensor and control the first valve and/or the second valve based on the TDS and/or the pH of the water exiting the at least one mineral infuser;
- wherein the at least one controller is configured to activate the at least one diverter to introduce filtered water into mineral-infused water exiting the at least one mineral infuser based on the TDS of the mineral-infused water and a preset maximum threshold.
