Abstract
A device for water dechlorination that includes a housing containing a water-soluble dechlorination media, one or more fluid transfer media that passes through the housing that allows the transfer of water and water-soluble dechlorination media between the inside of the housing and the outside of the housing, and a mechanism for directing water to flow through the one or more fluid transfer media. The chlorine in the water is removed or neutralized by the water-soluble dechlorination media released through the one or more fluid transfer media.
Claims16
A water dechlorination means comprising:
- a housing containing a water-soluble dechlorination media;
- one or more fluid transfer media that passes through the housing that allows the transfer of water and water-soluble dechlorination media between the inside of the housing and the outside of the housing;
- and means for directing water to flow through the one or more fluid transfer media;
- wherein the chlorine in the water is removed or neutralized by the water-soluble dechlorination media released through the one or more fluid transfer media, wherein the fluid transfer media is selected from the group consisting of felt or wicking materials.

A water dechlorination means comprising:
- a housing containing a water-soluble dechlorination media;
- one or more fluid transfer media that passes through the housing that allows the transfer of water and water-soluble dechlorination media between the inside of the housing and the outside of the housing;
- and means for directing water to flow through the one or more fluid transfer media, wherein the chlorine in the water is removed or neutralized by the water-soluble dechlorination media released through the one or more fluid transfer media, wherein approximately 5 to 10% by volume of water is enclosed with the water-soluble dechlorination media such that the one or more fluid transfer media is pre-moistened for faster neutralization of the chlorine in water, wherein the water-soluble dechlorination media comprises dampened water-soluble dechlorination media and dry water-soluble dechlorination media, and wherein the housing containing the water-soluble dechlorination media is divided into two compartments by a perforated divider to separate the dampened water-soluble dechlorination media and the dry water soluble dechlorination media such that the one or more fluid transfer media is pre-moistened for faster neutralization of the chlorine in water.
A method to dechlorinate water comprising the steps of:
- placing a water-soluble dechlorination media in physical contact with an end of one or more fluid transfer media;
- and directing water through the other end of the one or more fluid transfer media so that the water moisturizes the one or more fluid transfer media;
- wherein after the water passes through the other end of the one or more fluid transfer media, the chlorine in the water is removed or neutralized by the water-soluble dechlorination media released through the one or more moisturized fluid transfer media, and wherein the water-soluble dechlorination media comprises dampened water-soluble dechlorination media and dry water-soluble dechlorination media, and wherein the dampened water-soluble dechlorination media is separated from the dry water soluble dechlorination media by a perforated divider such that the one or more fluid transfer media is pre-moistened for faster neutralization of the chlorine in water.
A water dechlorination means comprising:
- a housing containing a water-soluble dechlorination media sealed by a plug formed by a solidified solution of the water-soluble dechlorination media;
- one or more fluid transfer media that passes through the housing that allows the transfer of water and water-soluble dechlorination media between the inside of the housing and the outside of the housing;
- and means for directing water to flow through the one or more fluid transfer media;
- wherein the chlorine in the water is removed or neutralized by the water-soluble dechlorination media released through the one or more fluid transfer media.
