Water treatment system with prolonged aeration

A water treatment system for purifying and aerating water, by exposing the water to a pressurized oxygenated atmosphere,

• said water treatment means comprising the combination of:
• diffusion means for diffusing bubbles of oxygen in the water being purified and aerated,
• baffle means comprising at least one inverted container,
• said baffle means positioned a fixed distance below the surface of the water and arranged to capture the gases being diffused through the water,
• said baffle means comprising means enabling the escape of said captured gases when the pressure due to the build up of gases within the baffle means exceeds the pressure due to the distance of the baffle means below the surface of the water, whereby the atmosphere of pressurized gases builds up in said baffle means,
• aeration means for mechanically aerating the water within the pressurized gases in said baffle means,
• said aeration means comprising pump and spray apparatus located under said at least one inverted container for spraying ambient water into the captured pressurized gases within said at least one inverted container, and
• said diffusion means comprising electrolysis means located under said at least one inverted container,
• said electrolysis means comprising platinum plated titanium electrodes, simultaneously providing an oxygenated atmosphere under said baffle means by breaking down the water into extremely small bubbles of its component gases, aerating the water by diffusion, and maintaining the pressurized gases in said baffle means.
