Abstract
A balanced water purification system is provided with a buffer compound, and oxidizer/clarifier compound, and a biocide compound disposed in multiple packets such that the biocide compound and the oxidizer/clarifier compound are contained in different packets. The composition purifies and clarifies water while maintaining the existing water pH. The composition may also include a filtration aid, an algicide, a calcium releasing source, a chelator, and a sequestering agent.
Claims20
A method for making a balanced water purification system to be used in conjunction with existing water treating without changing the pH of the water to which it is added, comprising:
- a) determining the pH and temperature range of the water to be treated;
- b) preparing a balanced water treatment composition by:
- i) formulating a buffer compound having an acidic component and a basic component present in a molar ratio equivalent to the pH of the water to be treated;
- ii) adding a sufficient amount of a biocide compound to inactivate the biological contaminants in the water;
- and
- iii) adding a sufficient amount of a clarifier/oxidizer compound to oxidize the biocide compound completely and to oxidize organic matter in the water;
- and
- c) placing the balanced water treatment composition in a plurality of packets.
A balanced water purification system for addition to, and purification of, water independently maintained at a predetermined pH and having a certain temperature range without changing the pH of the water, comprising:
- a) a balanced water purification composition, comprising:
- i) a buffer compound comprising:
- A) an acidic component;
- and,
- B) a basic component, wherein the acidic and the basic components are each present in an amount sufficient to provide a molar ratio of the acidic component to the basic component that yields a buffer compound having pH in solution equivalent to the existing pH of the water to be purified;
- ii) a biocide compound present in an amount sufficient to inactivate biological contaminants in the water to be purified;
- and
- iii) an oxidizer/clarifier compound present in an amount sufficient to oxidize the biocide compound completely;
- and
- b) a plurality of packets for holding the composition.
