Abstract: A method for treating a liquid such as water with a gas such as ozone where the liquid to be treated is introduced into a treatment vessel, gas is introduced into the treatment vessel to treat the liquid and the liquid is treated. The treatment vessel is then pressurized and the pressure in the treatment vessel is used to dispense the treated liquid from the treatment vessel through a filter.

Abstract: An apparatus comprising a longitudinally extending housing having a fluid inlet port; at leat one plurality of spaced apart members rotatably mounted in the housing to transmit motive force between fluid introduced through the fluid inlet port and the members, the spaced apart members having an upstream end and a downstream end; and, a fluid outlet port extending longitudinally along the housing and having a first end positioned towards the upstream end of the spaced apart members and a second end positioned towards the downstream end of the spaced apart members, the second end of the fluid outlet port radially displaced along the housing from the first end.

Abstract: A vacuum cleaner head has a rotatably mounted brush and a pressure sensor which is drivingly connected to the brush to move the brush with respect to the dirty air inlet in response to the air pressure in the air flow path to the vacuum cleaner head.

Abstract: A vacuum cleaner handle is provided which offers improved ergonomic characteristics by providing a grip portion which is rotatably mounted and may be offset from the center line axis of the cleaner head.

Abstract: A vacuum cleaner head having a dirty air inlet has an associated restricting member which is operable to reduce the size of the dirty air inlet thereby increasing the velocity of the air entering the air flow path.

Abstract: An apparatus for producing ozone from oxygen comprises a high voltage electrode connectable to a current source; a ground electrode spaced from the high voltage electrode and having an upstream end and a downstream end; a dielectric element positioned between the high voltage electrode and the ground electrode; a path for air flow positioned between the dielectric element and the ground electrode; and, a current collector positioned downstream of the high voltage electrode and comprising an extension of the ground electrode.

Abstract: A height adjustment mechanism for a vacuum cleaner includes forwardly positioned lift off wheels which move downwardly when the handle of the vacuum cleaner is moved to the raised position. Two transfer members convert the rotational movement of the handle to vertical motion of the lift off wheels.
