Abstract: A water purification device includes a housing including a first chamber in communication with a second chamber, a first filtration stage, and a second filtration stage. The first chamber has the first filtration stage and the second filtration stage. The filtration stages and chambers are arranged in a serial relationship to another filtration stage and chamber, respectively. The first filtration stage includes particles and the second filtration stage includes a biocide. At least 95 percent of the particles will pass through about 20,000 micron screen and at least 95 percent will not pass thru about 20 micron screen. The particles have a cation exchange capacity of 1 to 200 milli-equivalents per 100 grams. The particles will become charged and have a charge of about 1 to about 500 millivolts with ions from the biocide when the device is filled with water.

Abstract: A water disinfecting system usable with an isolated water volume has a first concentration of a first metal and a second concentration of a second metal. The second metal being different from the first metal. The first and second metals each having an anodic index. The first metal having a higher anodic index than the second metal anodic index. The first metal and second metal form a galvanic coupling when placed into the isolated water volume.
