TITLE

FLUID TREATMENT DEVICE

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS [0001] The present utility patent application claims the priority benefit U. S. non-provisional patent application serial number 16/684,160 filed on November 14, 2019, entitled Fluid Treatment Device, the entirety of which is incorporated herein by reference for all purposes.

FIELD OF THE INVENTION

[0002] The present invention relates to a device and method to treat, disinfect or clean a fluid by creating cavitation in the fluid such as water. More particularly, the invention relates to a water disinfecting and purification, and pH optimizing device that is operable with existing pumps to create nano-particle water nucleation sites in situ, thereby disinfecting and cleaning water by removing biologies, organisms, and debris whilst optimizing pH level depending upon the desired end-use.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0001] Swimming pools, including indoor and outdoor aquatic facilities, natatoriums, spas, splash pads, lazy rivers, water slides, wave pools, and water parks, are subject to contamination from foreign matters introduced into the water by swimmers, wind, rain and articles used in and about the water. Such contamination may include particles of dirt, organic matter, bacteria, algae, hair, makeup, suntan and-body oils, leaves, mineral residue from chemicals and other debris.

[0002] Further, farm ponds, golf course ponds, and other bodies of water are similarly subject to contamination but because they are generally untreated, contain an even higher degree of debris and harmful biologies. Specifically, on livestock farms animal feces and contaminate ponds, whilst on olericulture farms (i.e., vegetables, hemp, cannabis), fertilizers and other chemical agents from non-point runoff lead to contamination and out of control algae growth.

[0003] Filtration is the mechanical process of removing these contaminants from the pool water. Most modern pools comprise pool filtration facilities as part of the pool water recirculation systems. Pool water carrying particulate matter, solids and debris is passed through filtering equipment as it is recirculated. The filtering equipment removes maximum amount of contamination from the water and returns the clean water to the pool. It is known that the clarity of the returned water is an indication of its cleanliness, and is important for appearance, hygiene, sanitation, and safety.

[0004] However, conventional water treatment plants and purifying systems may not successfully treat 100% of the water due to volume and distribution, and the use of chemicals is undesirable . For instance, it is not possible to maintain proper flow rates in all distribution lines. Further, the conventional water treatment plants and purifying systems using chemicals such as, but not limited to, ozone or chlorine as a treatment step and attempt to maintain the water clean. Unfortunately, chlorine reacts with other naturally-occurring elements in the water that may cause sickness/illness ranging from asthma and eczema to severe bladder cancer and heart diseases. [0005] Many farm ponds are treated with chemicals, or need to be periodically serviced to make the water usable.

[0006] In addition, water molecules tend to attract towards each other and create a bond or surface tension that bridges between the molecules, thereby reducing the total exposed surface area of the water molecules when grouped together compared to being independent of each other.

[0007] One method of breaking these bonds is through cavitation. Cavitation is defined as the formation of vapor cavities in a liquid, small liquid-free zones, that are the consequence of forces acting upon the liquid. It usually occurs when a liquid is subjected to rapid changes of pressure that cause the formation of cavities in the liquid where the pressure is relatively low.

[0008] Classically, cavitation was a phenomenon to be prevented because of the significant deleterious effects on equipment and causes damages to the rotor blades and the like. Collapsing voids that implode near a metal surface cause cyclic stress through repeated implosion. This results in surface fatigue of the metal causing a type of wear also called as "cavitation". The most common examples of this kind of wear are to pump impellers and bends where a sudden change in the direction of liquid occurs.

[0009] However, if it is harnessed appropriately, cavitation can be used for cleaning of wastewater and can remove various particulates, metals, bacterium (e.g. cyanobacteria) green microalgae (e.g., Chlorella Vulgaris), and viruses (Rotavirus) from water, while balancing pH level. Swimming pool water, for example, may comprises bacteria, such as E. coli, shigella (which causes dysentery), Campylobacter and salmonella. The addition of chlorine can kill a majority of the bacterium, harmful metals may build up in the water, two being iron and copper, each of which is undesirable.

[00010] What is needed is a water purification device that can be connected to existing pumps or outline flows for disinfecting water that obviates the issues with the conventional systems and methods.

The devices (100 and 200) further provide water free of bacteria, algae, and other foreign matter and contaminants while maintaining a balanced pH level, for example, the devices (100 and 200) could be incorporated in a swimming pool. In another application, the devices (100 and 200) could provide a larger water crystal or snow particles when the individual water molecule is exposed to freezing temperatures.
