Claim 17:
18. A system for flow-through-hydrodynamic-plasma-reactor-based pool water treatment, comprising:
a housing;
a channel within the housing, the channel comprising an entrance into which water comprising one or more contaminants enters and an exit from which the water exits;
an electrically conductive flow body installed in the channel and which at least some of the water encounters while flowing from the entrance to the exit, wherein the water that encounters the flow body flows around the flow body and creates a zone of turbulence after flowing around the body within which the water is in a two-phase state and comprises bubbles;
an electrode located within the channel between the flow body and the exit;
a pulse generator configured to apply one or more high voltage nanosecond duration pulses to the electrode and to the flow body, wherein the application of at least one of the pulses to the flow body and the electrode initiates an ignition in the zone of turbulence of a volumetric plasma discharge that generates one or more reactive oxygen species and wherein at least some of the contaminants are oxidized upon encountering the reactive oxygen species;
a controller in control of the pulse generator;
a pump;
a suction line through which the water is brought from a pool to the pump;
a further line through which the pump pumps the water to a filter;
a first valve under a control of the controller whose closing prevents return of the water to the pool through a first return line; and
a second valve under a control of the controller and whose opening allows the water to enter the channel and for at least some of the water to return to the pool via a second return line.
