An ozone injector device comprising a housing, a corona tube disposed within the housing and configured to generate ozone, a check-valve having a first end removably coupled to the water passageway and a second end configured to receive ozone, the second end having a cavity with a movable float contained therein, an ozone inlet fitting removably coupled to the second end of the check-valve, the ozone inlet being in fluid communication with the corona tube via a corona discharge tube such that ozone entering the water passageway through the ozone inlet must pass through the check valve, and a spring-loaded clearing piston positioned to move into and out of the water passageway directly opposite the ozone inlet, the clearing piston being biased upwards, and configured to prevent flow of ozone into the water passageway.

A water treatment system is provided. The system includes a container holding a reactant liquid within the container. The system further includes an electrode capsule removably retained within the container and submerged in the reactant liquid. The electrode capsule operates to generate reactant gas by operating within the reactant liquid. The system includes a cap releasably coupled to an opening of the container. The cap includes a nozzle that allows flow of reactant gas out of the container to treat an amount of water. The use of the system operates to treat water for particular applications and controlling pH level range and/or alkalinity for each particular application.

A control system of a dual power supply type electrolyzer includes an electrolyzer, a first power supply circuit, and a second power supply circuit. The electrolyzer includes a first electrode and a second electrode. The first power supply circuit connected to the first electrode. The second power supply circuit connected to the second electrode. The first power supply circuit and the second power supply circuit simultaneously supply power respectively to the first electrode and the second electrode. The first electrode and the second electrode have a same amount of power, but the first electrode and the second electrode have different polarities and their polarities alternate periodically.

The invention relates to a pool filtration system for a pool, having a primary filter and a backwash filter, as well as a backwash return conduit, by which, when the pool is being backwashed, the water is directed to the backwash filter, then to the backwash return conduit and back to the pool. The system allows for recycling of backwash water back into the pool.

A publicly accessible urban beach entertainment complex is disclosed, with a man-made tropical, pristine-clear lagoon as the centerpiece of the complex, with surrounding entertainment, educational, sports, and commercial facilities, the complex having controlled public access and providing the look and feel of a tropical beach with clear waters and sandy beaches. In addition a method for efficiently utilizing facilities and land that are vacant, underutilized, have limited uses, or that are contiguous to or nearby recreational, educational, sports, or commercial venues is disclosed. The method providing a publicly accessible urban beach entertainment complex with a centerpiece man-made tropical-style pristine-clear lagoon. The method allows for generating revenue and increasing efficiency by pairing vacant sites, underutilized sites, limited use land, or sites that are contiguous to entertainment, educational, sports, and/or commercial venues with urban beach entertainment complexes. The complex preferably has a controlled public access, thereby allowing entrance upon payment of a fee.

A skimmer assembly includes a housing, a base member, and a carriage. The housing includes a plurality of walls defining a chamber. The base member includes a first sidewall and a first hub. The first sidewall extends from an upper surface of the base member. The first hub extends from a lower surface of the base member. The lower surface is opposite the upper surface. The base member is configured to receive the housing such that the first sidewall at least partially surrounds the housing. The carriage includes a second sidewall and a second hub. The second sidewall extends from an upper surface of the carriage. The first hub extends from a lower surface of the carriage opposite the upper surface of the carriage. The first hub is configured to rotatably receive the second hub.

A water recycling system for reprocessing and reusing bathing water from a bath or shower. The bathing water recycling system treats and reuses water that overflows from a bathtub or shower pan. The used bathing water is captured and retained after use. The captured dirty water is then filtered and purified. The filtered and purified water can be redistributed back into the shower or bathtub for reuse alone or in combination with additional fresh water. The treated water may also be rewarmed prior to reuse. Unneeded greywater water is redirected to the drain for disposal.

A monitoring system and method for any type of fluid system. Exemplary fluid systems include: sanitary and/or storm sewer systems; hydrological power generation, heating and cooling systems; energy exploration, excavation and transmission, specifically hydraulic fracturing known as fracking. The system and method utilize chemical sensors and other detection devices, a power source and circuitry to communicate with hand-held devices and/or other local or remote data terminals. Since sewers and other water infrastructure are often used to dispose, transport, store and transform liquids or other materials in addition to human waste and/or waste fluids from other human activity, monitoring effluent and chemical composition of liquids can provide data useful for a wide range of purposes.

The invention relates to a water treatment apparatus based on plasma (ionized gas) discharge. In particular, the invention relates to the field of industrial and agricultural wastewater treatment. More particularly, the invention relates to disinfection of drinking water, and water in pools, spas and similar recreational water environments. The invention comprises a plasma reactor produces plasma discharge at low atmospheric pressure between liquid electrodes eliminating contamination of treated water by harmful nitrogen compounds and toxic substances due to electrode erosion.

A pool filter system includes a filter housing with an open interior. A pleated filter container in the open interior of the filter housing has a pleated filter side wall and divides the interior of the filter housing into an pleated filter compartment and an particulate filter compartment surrounding the pleated filter side wall. The pleated filter side wall has a plurality of pleated filter container openings. A particulate filter medium is within the particulate filter compartment, and a pleated filter is within the open interior of the pleated filter compartment. A water inlet communicates with the particulate filter compartment, and a water outlet communicates with the pleated filter compartment. The pleated filter container openings in the pleated filter container side wall have a dimension that is less than the diameter of the particulate filter medium. A backwash assembly and a method of filtering pool water is also disclosed.
