  • Patent number: 5756051
    Abstract: An apparatus for destroying bacterial pathogens including at least one pair of electrodes secured in a housing configured to constrain flow of water through the region between the electrodes. In one construction, the electrodes are supported in a tube with sides of each member of an electrode pair conforming to the inner surface of the tube and electrode surfaces form a slotted space through which the water passes. In another constrcuction, one electrode is a tube and the other electrode is a rod supported concentrically inside the tube. The treated fluid passes axially through the space between the electrodes. A conductivity meter and flow meter applies a conductivity signal and a flow rate signal to maintain the field in a value that is not too excessive so as to prevent undesired reactions.
