DEVICE AND METHOD FOR SANITIZING SURFACES AND TREATING WATER USING OZONE

摘要

A system for and method of sanitizing water and waterway surfaces using ozone gas is disclosed wherein water is circulated from a water reservoir in a water ozonation loop means. Ozone is generated by an ozone generator and dispensed into the circulating water by an ozone feed means. In some embodiments the ozone is generated from gas in the water reservoir and dispensed into the water ozonation loop means at a venturi tube. A controller is provided for activating an ozonation cycle. In some embodiments, the ozonation cycle includes the actuation of a circulating water pump for a cycle interval, and the actuation of an ozone generator during an ozone generation interval, which is less than the cycle interval.

1. A water sanitizing apparatus comprising:
a water source; a water reservoir having a total volume comprising:
a volume of water received from the water source at a water inlet connection coupling the water reservoir to the water source;an upper reservoir chamber having a volume defined by the difference between the total volume of the water reservoir and the volume of water and wherein the volume contains air; anda water outlet connection coupling the water reservoir to a water outlet; a water ozonation loop means for circulating all or part of the volume of water from the water outlet to the upper reservoir chamber; an ozone generation means for converting air into ozone; and an ozone feed means for dispensing the ozone into the volume of water circulated within the water ozonation loop means.
