  • Patent number: 5683576
    Abstract: The object of the present invention is a water treatment apparatus that integrates an ozone generator, CT and storage tanks and a microcontroller to treat water in accordance with proposed EPA test protocol under the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide and Rodenticicle Act (FIFRA). The present invention receives raw water from a municipal or private water supply, the water is passed through a pretreatment filter to the CT chamber where ozone is dissolved in the water to kill bacteria, viruses and other microorganisms. Ozone is manufactured in an ozone generator, pumped to the CT chamber where it is forced through a diffuser and past a sonic wave generator to increase the mass transfer efficiency of ozone into solution with water causing greater ozone surface area. A degassing and ozone destruct mechanism removes ozone enriched air from the CT chamber and destroys the ozone prior to release of the air into the environment.
