Abstract: A method of operating an apparatus to remove ions, the method including allowing water to flow in between a first and a second electrode of a capacitor, charging the capacitor with an electrical charge via a controller in order to attract ions into the electrodes; and releasing ions from the electrodes by releasing electrical charge from the capacitor via the controller. During a subsequent charging step, charging of the capacitor may be controlled with the controller by applying an electrical charge which does not substantially exceed a quantity of electrical charge released from the capacitor during the releasing of ions to keep the capacitor in balance.
