Water treatment device and method

Abstract

A point of use water purification unit for continuously and completely purifying water at all point of use for removing all chemicals, killing all microorganisms; the device having a computer monitored and controlled system for degassing, super heating and exploding water into a vacuum chamber, condensing the steam in a counter current cold brine apparatus and stored in a holding tank.

1 . A method of purifying, comprising the following steps: 
 a) providing a quantity of degassed water;    b) heating the degassed water to at least 260 degrees F.;    c) injecting the heated degassed water into a vacuum chamber to superheat the water to at least 350 degrees F.; and    d) allowing the super heated degassed water to vaporize in an explosive fashion, evaporating rapidly and condensing in a counter current chiller.    
     
     
         2 . The method of in  claim 1 , further comprising the step of draining the condensed water into a holding tank.  
     
     
         3 . The method in  claim 1 , further comprising the step of pumping the condensed water out through a mineral column and a carbon column to replenish the trace minerals and remove any residual off taste.  
     
     
         4 . The method in  claim 1 , further comprising the step of attaching an incoming water line to a counter current heat exchanger to preheat the incoming water and cool the high side gas in a refrigeration unit.  
     
     
         5 . The method in  claim 4 , wherein the heat exchanger further comprises a first counter current conduit contained within a gas conduit.  
     
     
         6 . The method in  claim 4 , wherein the water incoming into the counter current exchanger is the same temperature as the exiting gas and the exiting water is the same temperature as the incoming gas.  
     
     
         7 . The method in  claim 1 , further comprising the step of providing an electronically controlled valve for controlling degassed water.  
     
     
         8 . The method in  claim 1 , wherein the degassed water enters a band of centrifugal, vacuum chambers through a manifold and electronic valving system, closing 2 electronic valves and wherein the centrifugal force forms a thin layer of water and the vacuum as well as the centrifugal force brings about a removal of dissolved gases from the feed water.
