Abstract
In a fluid purification arrangement for a reverse osmosis treatment system which system includes a ported header with spaced port connections, a fluid impervious treatment container with at least one compartment and a matching ported header mounted thereto to permit connection of the treatment container to the header of the treatment system.
Claims11
In a fluid liquid purification apparatus having a reverse osmosis treatment system with a treatment header with spaced port connections therein for receiving treating fluid, a unitary disinfection/rejuvenation fluid impervious treatment container having at least one fluid impervious compartment for introduction of appropriate treating fluids respectively therein the improvement comprising:
- a compartment header mounted in sealed relation at the end of said compartment, said compartment header having spaced mating port connections adapted to mate with correspondingly spaced port connections in said treatment header in said reverse osmosis treatment system of said liquid purification apparatus to permit connection of said compartment with said treatment system including means for cooperating with said liquid purification apparatus.
A method comprising:
- forming a molded compartmental storage receptacle including means for cooperating with a liquid purification apparatus, by, molding two storage receptacle side members sized and geometrically shaped to face each other to define an open mouth receptacle of preselected geometric configuration;
- and joining together said side edges and base edges of said mirror-image side members and said divider member along a continuous seam to provide a molded compartmental storage receptacle.
A method comprising:
- forming a molded fluid-impervious compartmental storage receptacle including means for cooperating with a liquid purification apparatus, by, molding two storage receptacle side members and a wave-shaped divider member of fluid-impervious polycarbonate material;
- said side members and wave-shaped divider member being sized and geometrically shaped and proportioned that when said side members are placed in mirror-image relation with said divider member in partial spaced relation therebetween two triangular-like mirror-image separate fluid-impervious, open-mouthed compartment members are formed;
- positioning said side members and divider member accordingly in such relationship and fusing said side and base edges together to form said triangular-like compartments;
- forming a header of solid polycarbonate material with sets of mirror-image fluid connections embedded therein positioned to communicate with each of said triangular-like compartments and alternatively with connections in a treatment header, said header being formed with a peripheral-surrounding recess and a wave-shaped recess extending between opposed sides thereof to receive the open-mouthed edges of said compartments;
- and, fusing said edges in said header recesses to said header.
