APPARATUS FOR PURIFYING WATER IN AQUARIUM USING PHOTOCATALYTIC DISINTEGRATOR

摘要

PURPOSE: A water purifying apparatus to purify water in an aquarium by a photolytic reaction and then resupplying the purified water to the aquarium is provided. By use of a circulation system, the apparatus does not need to exchange water in the aquarium and continuous removes pollutants or excessive nutritious material from the aquarium to prevent fish from death. CONSTITUTION: A photocatalytic disintegrator(50) is connected to a transfer pump(30) and a solid removal filter(40) for removing floating solids from polluted water in an aquarium(10) thorough a water supply pipe(20). The photocatalytic disintegrator comprises: a fixed vessel(51) containing a water inlet(51a) for inflow of the polluted water and an outlet(51b) for outflow of purified water; a quartz pipe(53) centrally placed inside the fixed vessel; a UV lamp(54) inserted into the quartz pipe; and a photocatalyst coated body(52) filled between the fixing vessel and quartz pipe.
