A portable water enrichment water bottle is characterized by comprising a bottle top cap, a bottle body, a bottle bottom circular area and a water-permeation porous sealed stainless-steel container fixedly arranged between the bottle bottom cap and the bottle body. An active material is arranged inside the water-permeation porous sealed stainless-steel container. The active material is usually in shape of a pebble which can be of including but not limited to mineral, food or dietary supplement, baking soda, pure silver, gemstones, crystals and other similar articles. Once the active material contacts with water, positive potential value can be generated. Only by filling the water-permeation porous sealed stainless-steel container with pebble of the active material and without using an electrolyze, water can be simply converted to highly charged, active, clean and neutralized water which is simple to use and is convenient to operate.

A method and apparatus is provided for treating water with already-slaked lime to arrive at a lime slurry that is in a solution or suspension, and delivering the thus treated water to a separating device which separates grit particles therefrom, to recover a high quality lime/water solution or suspension. An automated system controls the addition of lime and water to a lime mixing vessel.

An acid wash system is provided which comprises an automated method and apparatus for removing scale buildup, for delivering an acid wash solution to the lime mixing vessel, the lime slurry holding tank and/or the delivery system, or any of them, thereby dissolving the scale buildup.

The present invention discloses a method for controlling surface-inhabiting pests in an aquatic system, in particular cyanobacteria and harmful algal blooms (HABs), comprising spreading on the surface of the aquatic system a buoyant composition comprising a water disinfectant, preferably an oxidizing compound, and a floating agent. The invention further relates to compositions and methods for their preparation and use.

A system for on-demand delivery of a sterile fluid includes a housing. At least one fluid reservoir is associated with the housing and configured to hold a fluid. A sterilization and/or purification mechanism is in fluid communication with the at least one fluid reservoir. The sterilization and/or purification mechanism is configured to sterilize the fluid. A dispensing mechanism is in fluid communication with the sterilization mechanism and configured to dispense the sterile fluid. A controller is associated with one or more of the housing, the at least one fluid reservoir, the sterilization and/or purification mechanism, and the dispensing mechanism. The controller being configured to modulate at least one operating characteristic of the system. The system is configured to deliver the sterile and/or purified fluid immediately after a request is made.

The present invention relates to a water treatment apparatus (1), in particular for supplying water-conducting and/or water-heating household appliances or appliances for producing and preparing food and/or beverages using treated drinking water, e.g. automatic drinks machines, automatic coffee machines, ice machines, cooking and baking appliances, steam generators or high-pressure cleaners, air conditioners or the like using treated water, comprising an agent (3) present in solid form for reducing mineral precipitates.

It is characterized in that a first medium which influences the dissolution behavior of the agent for reducing mineral precipitates is provided.

A reactive treatment formulation and method for treatment of waste material resulting in a more stable, entombed treated waste product. The formulation comprised of a foamable surfactant that is granular and sodium percarbonate. A multi-part formulation can be delivered in a multi-compartment vessel that cooperates with a dispensing mechanism for a self-contained non-contact agitating toilet. The reactive treatment formulation prevents odors, bacterial growth, and stabilizes waste to reduce spillage during disposal.

A system for mineralizing distilled water includes a splitter for splitting distilled water into primary and secondary portions; first and second conduits for conveying the primary and second portions, respectively; first and second columns comprising including first and second mineral matrices connected to the first and second conduits, respectively, to generate first and second mineralizing concentrate solutions; first and second mixing modules for combining a predefined amount of the mineralizing concentrate solutions with the primary portion of distilled water to form a mineralized water mixture; and a dispensing module for dispensing the mineralizing water mixture. A carbonator is also connected to the secondary conduit for dissolving carbon dioxide in the secondary portion of distilled water upstream of the first and second columns.

The invention relates to a water filter cartridge comprising a housing and a filter-side tank connection element for insertion into a water tank, more particularly into a water tank of a household appliance (11), and a filter section for treating the water to be taken from the water tank. It is distinguished by the fact that the water filter cartridge comprises a reservoir chamber with a means to counter precipitations in the water tank, where the reservoir chamber is designed separate from the filter section and its flow guideway for the water running through the filter section to be treated, in such a way that there is no contact between the water flowing through the filter section and the means to counter precipitations, and that the reservoir chamber has at least one passage for the means, whereby the means to counter precipitations is in contact with the unfiltered water in the water tank.

A system and method for delivering silver ion biocide is described herein. The systems described relate to passing water from a water system through a silver ion release module and optional high-concentration silver ion release module. The system includes an analyzer, detector, and/or controller for monitoring the concentration of silver ion and adjusting the flow path, flow rate, temperature and/or pH of the water in order to obtain the desired concentration of silver ion. The system optionally includes other metal ions released into a water system, the concentration of which may be used to automatically calibrate the described system and/or cause the system to take actions based on the measured concentration of silver ion or of the second metal ion.

Compositions, systems, and methods of using alkaline-producing Aluminate salts in the sludge collection and digestion steps of wastewater processing to reduce acidity and/or build alkalinity, reduce hydrogen sulfide release, and reduce phosphate in the effluent.
