Abstract:
An apparatus for the enhancement of water quality in a subterranean pressurized water distribution system, said apparatus comprising:a flow controlled passage for pressurized water having an inlet adapted for fluid connection to said subterranean pressurized water distribution system, said flow controlled passage having a conduit for directing pressurized water received in said inlet to a routing conduit for redirecting said pressurized water subterraneously, said routing conduit having an outlet adapted for fluid connection to a drain system for receiving said pressurized water, whereby atmospheric discharge of said pressurized water and its associated dangers are avoided, said flow controlled passage being free of draining apertures between said inlet and said outlet; a flow control valve disposed along said flow controlled passage for permitting and prohibiting the flow of pressurized water through the flow controlled passage; programmable electronic control circuitry for controlling the flow of pressurized water through said flow controlled passage by activating and deactivating the flow control valve, said system including a programmable microprocessor system for storing instructions for activating and deactivating the flow control valve; and at least one programming interface operatively connected to the microprocessor system for inputting electronic information to be stored and processed in said microprocessor system for activating and deactivating said flow control valve.
