Abstract:
An apparatus for purifying water comprising:unpurified water supplying means for supplying unpurified water;magnetic field applying means positioned downstream from said unpurified water supplying means for applying a magnetic field to the unpurified water to thereby remove particles containing ferrous metal therefrom;ion exchange media exposing means positioned downstream from said magnetic field applying means for exposing the water having the ferrous metal containing particles removed therefrom to ion exchange media having first and second ion conductivity types to thereby remove charged molecules from the water;carbon filtering means positioned downstream from said ion exchange media exposing means for filtering the water having the charged molecules removed therefrom;paper filtering means positioned downstream from said carbon filtering means for filtering precipitates from the water after passing through the carbon filtering means: andultraviolet light exposing means positioned downstream from said paper filtering means for exposing the water after passing through the paper filtering means to ultraviolet light to thereby kill all life forms therein.
