Abstract: A liquid purification apparatus, including a flow cell having an opening at each end for conducting a liquid therethrough. The liquid purification apparatus also includes a pair of electrode plates disposed within the flow cell, each electrode plate comprising an elongated rectangle having a length, width, and thickness, the length and width defining a face of each electrode plate, the width being greater than the thickness. The electrode plates are arranged such that the faces of the electrode plates are parallel and opposite one another with a gap therebetween.

Abstract: A liquid purification system comprises a flow cell housing electrodes capable of introducing ions into a liquid passing through the flow cell when a current supplied by a controller is applied across the electrodes. The controller is capable of supplying current between zero and ten amps, and at zero to one hundred volts direct current (DC) across the electrodes. The liquid purification system is easily plumbed into the pipework carrying the liquid to be purified. A by pass line is typically installed around the liquid purification system for easing of operation and maintenance. An upstream and downstream adapters are installed on the pipe and separated by a distance approximating the length of the flow cell. The flow cell is positioned between the two adapters and quick connect clamps are used to maintain a seal between the adapters and the flow cell. Removal of the flow cell can occur by stopping the liquid flow on the upstream end of the pipe or opening the by pass line around the flow cell.
