Advanced on-site water sanitization system having chlorine generation integrated with copper/silver ionization

摘要

An advanced on-site water sanitization system is taught having integrated chlorine generation and copper/silver ionization in the same unit. The system includes a manifold loop connectable to a water supply line for supplying water to be sanitized from a body of water, and connectable to a water return line for returning sanitized water to the body of water. It also includes a copper/silver ionizer, capable of receiving a flow of water to be sanitized, adding copper and silver ions to the flow of water so as to provide a copper/silver ionized flow of water. A chlorinator is also included, capable of receiving a flow of ionized water, and a flow of chlorine, and allowing the flow of chlorine to mix with the flow of ionized water so as to provide a chlorinated flow of ionized water to the manifold loop to return as sanitized water to the body of water.

主权项

1. A water sanitization system, comprising:
a manifold loop configured to be connected to a water supply line to supply a flow of water to be sanitized from a body of water, and configured to be connected to a water return line to return a flow of sanitized water to the body of water; a copper/silver ionization cell, in fluid communication with the manifold loop, the copper/silver ionization cell configured to:
receive, via the manifold loop, the flow of water to be sanitized, andadd copper ions and silver ions to the flow of water to be sanitized to provide a flow of ionized water to the manifold loop; a chlorine generator, including a chlorine generation cell, configured to produce a flow of chlorine; a chlorinator, in fluid communication with the manifold loop, the chlorinator configured to: mix the flow of ionized water with the flow of chlorine to produce a flow of sanitized water having copper ions, silver ions, and chlorine, and supply the flow of sanitized water to the body of water via the manifold loop and the water return line; and a power supply electrically connected to the chlorine generation cell and to the copper/silver ionization cell, the power supply configured to selectively control a ratio of copper ions and silver ions to chlorine to be supplied to the flow of water to be sanitized.
