Abstract
A water purifying and heating apparatus having a pump supplying water to a purifying filter connected by conduit to a boiler and capable of being used with domestic electric power supply. The load current required for start-up of the pump is reduced, and the automatic flushing effect of the hollow fiber membrane filters is obtained as is hot water as needed, without reducing the treatment efficiency of the purifying filter even though the temperature of water being treated is low.
Claims1
A water purifying and heating apparatus comprising a pump, a purification filter, and a boiler;
- a water supply conduit connected to an inlet of said pump, an outlet conduit from said pump to an inlet of said purification filter;
- a main conduit extending from a purified water outlet of said purification filter to an inlet of said boiler;
- a secondary conduit extending from said main conduit to a junction with a soil conduit extending from said purification filter and a circulation conduit, the junction being downstream of a timer controlled cock on said secondary conduit;
- said circulation conduit intersecting said water supply conduit forming a second junction therewith, there being a thermostat at said second junction;
- and conduit means comprising
- a hot water supplying conduit extending from the outlet of said boiler and connected to said water supply conduit downstream of a hot water supply cock and a flow regulator valve on said hot water supplying conduit;
- both said hot water supply cock and flow regulator valve being controlled according to water temperature at the junction of said water supply conduit and said circulating conduit so that hot water is supplied to said water supply conduit in order to control the temperature of water to be supplied to said purification filter.
