The surfaces of the first feeding body 41 and the second feeding body 42 are formed of a hydrogen storage metal. The control unit 5 calculates a concentration of hydrogen storage metal colloid based on the DC current and an integrated value of the amount of flowing water after switching the polarities.
Abstract:
Processes, systems, and techniques for multivalent ion desalination of a feed water use an apparatus that has a cathode, an anode, and an electrodialysis cell located between the cathode and anode. The cell has a product chamber through which the feed water flows, a multivalent cation concentrating chamber on a cathodic side of the product chamber through which the concentrated multivalent cation solution flows, and a multivalent anion concentrating chamber on an anodic side of the product chamber through which the concentrated multivalent anion solution flows. The product chamber and the multivalent cation concentrating chamber are each bounded by and share a cation exchange membrane, and the product chamber and the multivalent anion concentrating chamber are each bounded by and share an anion exchange membrane. A monovalent ion species is added to at least one of the concentrated multivalent cation solution and the concentrated multivalent anion solution.

Abstract:
Systems and methods for combined controlling chlorinators and pumps for pools and spas are provided. Exemplary embodiments can include a pump operable to circulate a fluid for a specified time period according to a pump operation time setting and a chlorinator operatively coupled to the pump.

A gravity flow runoff water purification system is provided. The gravity flow runoff water purification system of the present invention includes a debris filter, a grit chamber, and a linear electrolytic reactor. The linear electrolytic reactor includes a plurality of cell chambers separated by at least one fixed electrode plate operable to receive a current. A bi-polar anode blend is disposed at the bottom of each chamber and is charged by the at least one electrode plate using a VLF AC current in order to prevent plating over of fixed electrodes. The blend includes a conductive and consumable metal fraction, a conductive and non-consumable fraction, and a non-conductive pours spacer. Water runs through the debris filter, through the grit chamber and into the linear electrolytic reactor via gravity. The water flows through each of the cell chambers, thereby clarifying and purifying the water.
Abstract:
An electrochlorination and electrochemical system for the on-site generation and treatment of municipal water supplies and other reservoirs of water, by using a custom mixed oxidant and mixed reductant generating system for the enhanced destruction of water borne contaminants by creating custom oxidation-reduction-reactant chemistries with real time monitoring. A range of chemical precursors are provided that when acted upon in an electrochemical cell either create an enhanced oxidation, or reduction environment for the destruction or control of contaminants. Chemical agents that can be used to control standard water quality parameters such as total hardness, total alkalinity, pH, total dissolved solids, and the like are introduced via the chemical precursor injection subsystem infrequently or in real time based on sensor inputs and controller set points.
