  • Patent number: 6527196
    Abstract: A system to produce a high pressure stream of deionized water, for cleaning a body or bodies, comprising, in combination, a deionization bed within a first vessel, a first conduit or conduits to conduct non-deionized water at a relatively low pressure or pressures to pass through the bed to deionize the water, a primary sensor to measure the deionization level of water that has passed through the bed, a second conduit or conduits to conduct water from the bed, a pump to receive water passed by the second conduit or conduits and to pressurize said received water to a level of at least about 1,200 PSI, a nozzle connected to the pump and operable to controllably dispense a high pressure stream of deionized water for highly effective cleaning of said bodies, and a hand truck carrying said vessel, conduits, pump and nozzle for transporting same to the location of said body or bodies.
