IMPROVED METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR INCREASING THE OXYGEN CONTENT OF WATER

摘要

A method and apparatus (10) for increasing the oxygen content of water have been shown and described. A volume of water (16) is passed between the electrodes of an electrolytic cell (12), a portion of the volume of water (16) converting to dissolved oxygen. A desired level of dissolved oxygen is selected, and the number of times the volume of water (16) must flow through the electrolytic cell (12) to ensure that the volume of water (16) contains the selected percentage of dissolved oxygen is also selected. The volume of water (16) is then forced through the cell (12) the selected number of times, such that the volume of water (16) contains the desired percentage of dissolved oxygen. The electrolytic cell (12) is in fluid communication with a tank (26) and a pump (18), the pump (18) drawing the volume of water (16) from the tank (26) and forcing it through the electrolytic cell (12) and back into the tank (26).
