Abstract:
1. A water treatment system comprising: an aquarium having a glass tank having an interior filled with water, said tank having an open top and a top edge; dual pumps including a first water pump and a second water pump alternating to replenish a water level in the tank and simultaneously maintaining calcium and alkalinity balances; a pair of reservoirs including a calcium solution reservoir and an alkalinity solution reservoir, said calcium solution reservoir containing fresh reverse osmosis and de-ionized water treated with a calcium supplement, said alkalinity solution reservoir containing fresh reverse osmosis and de-ionized water treated with an alkalinity supplement; a first pair of pipes including a first pipe and a second pipe, wherein said first pipe connects said calcium reservoirs to said first dual pump, and wherein said second pipe connects said alkalinity solution reservoir to said second pump; a second pair of pipes including a third pipe and a fourth pipe, wherein said third pipe carries solution from said first pumps into said interior of said tank, and wherein said fourth pipe carries solution from said second pipe into said interior of said tank; a pair of pipe holders including a first and second pipe holder attachable to said top edge of said aquarium, wherein said first pipe holder holds said third pipe positionable downwardly and into said interior of said tank, and wherein said second pipe holder holds said fourth pipe positionable downwardly and into said interior of said tank; a switch box having a back end and a top surface and positionable between said calcium solution reservoir and said alkalinity solution reservoir, wherein said switch box having two alternating current power sockets attachable to said back end for delivering electrical power to said first and second water pumps separately, wherein said back end having an alternating current power cord and wires extending from said water level sensors, wherein said top surface having three apertures thereon; three light emitting diodes including a first, second and third light emitting diode, one said diode extending upwardly through each said aperture, wherein said first light emitting diode indicating power, said second light emitting diode indicating activation of said calcium solution reservoir, and said third light emitting diode indicating activation of said alkalinity solution reservoir; a printed circuit board housed within said switch box, having a solid state relay mounted thereon and in communication with each pump for alternating pumping from said calcium solution reservoir to said alkalinity solution reservoir; wherein said first and second dual pumps each have a bottom end having an alternating current line cord extending outwardly therefrom, each alternating current line cord having a two prong alternating current power plug for plugging into one of said alternating current power sockets of said switch box, wherein said first pump is separately connected by said first pipe to said calcium solution reservoir, wherein said second pump is separately connected by said second pipe to said alkalinity solution reservoir; a pair of water level sensors in communication with said solid state relay, said sensors having a top end electrically connected to said printed circuit board and relay within said switch box by said wires, said sensors having bottom ends submerged within said water of said tank, wherein said sensor holder is securely mounted to said top edge of said tank; and a power switch coupled to said switch box, and having a standard power cord for powering said system.
