Patent number: 9102558Abstract: A transportable water treatment system includes: a lower cage housing a water purifying apparatus, a middle cage housing a first water storage tank, and an upper cage housing a second water storage tank. The transportable water treatment system has a footprint approximate to the area of the lower cage. A chlorinator may be used in the water purifying apparatus that includes a bowl having an inlet at the bottom and an outlet on its side. A channel is around the inlet forcing fluid to flow to the top of the channel and over its edges. A flow diverter is positioned above the inlet adapted to transfer the flow of fluid to a substantially horizontal direction. A platform is positioned within the channel being adapted to position a single chlorine tablet within the channel. The lid is adapted for holding a plurality of chlorine tablets above the platform.Type: GrantFiled: April 4, 2013Date of Patent: August 11, 2015Assignee: Water Missions InternationalInventors: George C. Greene, III, Bruce M. Okkema

Patent number: 8905055Abstract: A full flow pressure relief valve includes a housing having an inlet opening on its bottom and an outlet opening on one of its side. A piston is positioned inside the housing adapted to move from a set position where the piston seals the inlet opening to a sprung position where the piston is removed from the inlet opening. A lock is biased by a spring in a perpendicular direction toward the side of the piston. The lock is adapted to hold the piston in the set position until a relief pressure is supplied in the inlet opening, where the lock is adapted to release the piston to the sprung position.Type: GrantFiled: April 14, 2011Date of Patent: December 9, 2014Assignee: Water Missions InternationalInventors: George C. Greene, III, Bruce M. Okkema
