Portable water disinfection system

摘要

A portable oxidant generator for generating a chlorine or chloro-oxygen solution suitable for sterilizing contaminated drinking water, thereby providing potable water. The oxidant generators include an electrolytic chamber and a power supply or source. The chamber holds a salt brine solution such that the solution is in contact with an anode and cathode included in the chamber. The power supply provides electrical charge which is passed between the anode and cathode through the salt brine solution. In the preferred embodiment of the present invention, the power supply includes an energy storage device that is charged to predetermined voltage. The energy storage device is preferably charged by a generator that converts mechanical energy into electrical energy. The present invention includes a brine storage compartment in the cap. The present invention also includes a total dissolved solids measuring device to determine if the water to be treated requires reverse osmosis filtration to remove high concentrations of ions from the source water to be treated.
