Abstract:
A water purifier apparatus for water containing chloride ions comprising:a) an air-shielded water container having an input to receive untreated water containing chloride ions and an output for purified water, a cross-sectional area of said container being larger than cross-sectional areas of said input and said output thereby lowering a flow velocity of water in said container to be less than velocities of water at said input and said output; b) a power source; c) a pair of electrolysis electrodes within said container, said electrodes being electrically connected to receive power from said power source; d) a valve fluidly connected with said container so as to control water flow therethrough; e) a power control electrically connected to said valve and to said power source, said control being arranged to apply power to said electrodes to carry out electrolysis of flow velocity-lowered water in said container when said valve is opened for said input to receive said untreated water and for said output to supply said purified water in a direction of a dispensing end; and f) a gas release valve for releasing gas from said container.
