  • Publication number: 20220064033
    Abstract: The fluoride tablet feeder device is a device for dissolution of fluoride tablets into a water stream. The device is specifically designed for the fluoride tablets disclosed and claimed by U.S. Pat. No. 10,485,738 titled Tablet for Fluoridating Potable Water, which is incorporated by reference. The crux of ideal dissolution of fluoride tablets in a flowing water supply is total immersion of the tablets, with water flowing around all tablet sides for even dissolution.

  • Publication number: 20050065755
    Abstract: Improved water monitoring systems comprise a test unit having an analytical device and a control system in communication with the test unit such that water supply data generated at the test unit can be communicated to the control system. In some embodiments, the analytical device can be a fluorometer that can monitor the fluorescence induction pattern of algae located in the water, which can indicate, when the induction pattern is compared against known baseline induction patterns, the potential presence of toxic chemicals located in the water supply. In other embodiments, the analytical device can comprise, for example, a pH meter, an infrared spectroscopy (IR) device or the like. In some embodiments, the test unit can provide continuous intake, analysis, and can communicate water supply data to the control system via a wireless communication device, fiber optic cable or the like.
