Abstract
The inventive method assures the retention of calcium in drinking water provided to an animal by suppling water to a water feed line which is connected to a drinking device, oxidizing the water to retain calcium in the water in solution, ionizing the water using copper/zinc electrodes, the ionization sanitizing the water and providing residual copper and zinc ions which act as an algicide and a biocide, and providing the ionized oxidized drinking water which retains calcium in solution to the animal for drinking.
Claims10
A method of assuring the retention of calcium in drinking water provided to an animal, comprising the steps of:
- supplying water to a water feed line which is connected to a drinking device;
- oxidizing the water to retain calcium in the water in solution, wherein the oxidation utilizes a titanium electrode coated with ruthenium;
- ionizing the water using copper electrodes, the ionization sanitizing the water and providing residual copper ions which act as an algicide and a biocide;
- providing the ionized oxidized drinking water which retains calcium in solution to the animal for drinking.
