DEVICE, METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR TREATING AN AQUEOUS LIQUID AND METHOD OF PREPARING A LIQUID TREATMENT MEDIUM THEREFOR

摘要

A device and a method for treating an aqueous liquid includes a quantity of liquid treatment medium, arranged to contact liquid that has entered the liquid treatment device. The liquid treatment medium includes at least an ion exchange polymer material (11;18;30;45;49;60;73), at least some of which is conditioned to reduce at least one of carbonate hardness, total hardness and total mineral content of water contacting the liquid treatment medium. At least one flavouring compound is sorbed to at least some of the ion exchange polymer material (11;18;30;45;49;60;73).
