A system can include a multi-material fluid having a mixture of a first material and a second material. The system can also include a first vessel into which the multi-material fluid is disposed. The system can further include a first sonication device disposed, at least in part, in the multi-material fluid in the first vessel. The first sonication device, when operating, can emit ultrasound waves into the multi-material fluid. The ultrasound waves separate the first material and the second material from each other in the first vessel.

An apparatus for water purifying and dehumidifying with an air purifying system purifies air and purifies condensate water produced by dehumidification such that the condensate water can be used as drinkable water, as a single product, whereby various functions are given to one product. Accordingly, there is an effect that the manufacturing cost of the product is reduced and expenses by customers are decreased, whereby it is possible to improve competitiveness of the product in terms of practical use.

The invention relates to a water purification system and distillation unit.

According to one embodiment, a method for removing antimicrobial material from a composition includes providing a container that contains a plurality of carbon elements such as granules, rocks and sheets. The carbon elements are submerged with a liquid and a composition that includes an antimicrobial material is deposited in the container. The carbon elements are configured to remove the antimicrobial material from the composition. The level of the liquid in the container is monitored and controlled to maintain a submerged condition of the carbon elements.

A saturated layer stormwater filtering system with down-flow layered multimedia filters is disclosed. The filtering system may include an upflow pretreatment chamber and a subsequent filtration chamber. It also includes a snorkel pipe as an adjustable head control or internal baffles. The system incorporates gravity powered partially saturated stormwater media filters to harness the potential energy of stormwater from downspouts and pumped flows from stormwater catchments to drive the polluted stormwater in a hydraulically controlled fashion by gravity through a series of filter media layers.

A salt-level sensor for a water softener salt reservoir (aka brine tank) may comprise a laser distance detector or ultrasonic distance detector, a processor, a wi-fi module, a power module, a memory module, a housing, and a mounting assembly. The salt-level sensor may be configured to be mounted to the underside of the lid of a salt reservoir, with the distance detector directed away from the lid location. The mounting assembly may comprise one or more threaded elements and complementary nut(s), and may additionally comprise an orientation adjustment mechanism.

A method for measuring the salt level in a salt reservoir may comprise installing the salt-level sensor on the underside of the lid; emitting a signal toward to salt; receiving a return signal; and, based on the time between emitting and receiving the signal, determining a distance to the salt.

A method of providing a dispense purified water stream from a water purification apparatus involving passing a water inlet stream through a first water purification station to provide a first internal purified water stream, passing the first internal purified water stream to an internal reservoir, and providing a second internal purified water stream from the reservoir, passing the second internal purified water stream into a recirculation loop, measuring the conductivity of the second internal purified water stream; passing the second internal purified water stream to a second water purification station to provide a third internal purified water stream passing the recirculated water return stream into the internal reservoir; calculating the purity of the first internal purified water stream using the measurement of the conductivity of the second internal purified water stream.
