Abstract:
1. An apparatus for optimizing production of hydroxyl ions through hydrolysis of water molecules to oxydize contaminents in water, the apparatus comprising: a water chamber with an input water conduit and an output water conduit for enabling water to flow through the water chamber; an electrical power source; electrodes positioned in the water chamber to receive electrical power and to cause an electric current to flow through the water in the water chamber; and a control unit coupled with the electrical power source and configured to provide a continuous voltage and current as said electrical power, the control unit being further configured to automatically adjust the voltage applied to the electrodes, based on continuous determining of the current flowing between the electrodes to establish in the water an electrical current magnitude that varies in proportion to the electrical conductivity of the water, thereby enabling continuous generation of hydroxyl ions that varies in proportion to the quantity of hydroxyl ions in the water being treated, without exceeding a maximum current magnitude.
