Electromagnetic ground water conditioning system and sampling device for waste water and fermentation makeup water

An electromagnetic ground water conditioning apparatus comprising:

• a holding tank with an inlet and an outlet for holding ground water which is treated in said apparatus;
• an electromagnetic water conditioning unit comprising an inlet from said tank, a ferromagnetic casing, an electromagnetic winding surrounding said casing to create a magnetic field of about 3,000 oersteds on said casing, an impeller mounting in bearings at each end of said casing which rotates in response to the water pressure from said inlet and a water outlet at the other end of said casing;
• a pump between said holding tank outlet and said electromagnetic unit;
• a semicircular band fitted with flanges which encircles said holding tank and is adapted to hold a bracket supporting means to mount said electromagnetic unit at about the middle of said holding tank;
• a bracket connected to said band to mount said electromagnetic water conditioning unit;
• a pipe means connecting said pump to the inlet pipe of said electromagnetic unit;
• a filter means between said pump and inlet pipe fed by water passing through said pipe means;
• said pipe means further connecting said filter means to the outlet of said electromagnetic unit;
• a return line from the outlet of said filter to said holding tank for recirculating water from said filter back into said holding tank by the pumping action of said pump into said electromagnetic water conditioning unit;
• and
• a blowdown unit comprising timing devices electrically connected to a solenoid operated drain valve at the bottom of said tank whereby solids precipitated by the electromagnetic treatment in said electromagnetic unit are blown out of said tank for predetermined short intervals of the order of seconds to thereby clarify the incoming water without the need for water treatment chemicals.
