Abstract:
1. A pressurized water system comprising a single treating vessel for accepting water from a pressurized water source having a water column and a pressurized air head, substantially all hydrogen sulfide and offensive odors present in said water passing therethrough being released in said air and oxygen in said air dissolves in said water which reacts with soluble iron in said water to form ferric oxides, a controlling means substantially at the top of said treating vessel defines an inlet and an outlet for water to pass therethough and defines a drain for the purging of unwanted products removed from the treated water, said inlet connected to said pressurized water source, said outlet connected to potable water plumbing, a filter bed of calcite mineral for removing substantially all sediment present in said water and to neutralize the ph of said water and to remove substantially all said ferric oxides from said water, said ferric oxides fastening to said calcite minerals and to already fastened ferric oxides, a final filter media to remove any residual unwanted particulate matter from said water passing therethrough to said outlet, said controlling means includes a bypassable air injecting means having a water and air mixing manifold with venturi means and an axially coextensive bore for containing a pressure sensitive valve, said pressurized water flows through said venturi means to create a pressure differential at the throat of said venturi means causing said pressure sensitive valve to open in response to the pressure differential to allow for selective entrainment of ambient air in said water at said throat.
