Abstract:
A method of manufacturing a water treatment system for providing a flow of treated water having a pre-established quality from a flow of reclaimed water having a quality poorer than said pre-established quality of said treated water and a flow of treatment water having a quality better than said pre-established quality of said treated water, said water qualities based on potable quality treated water standards, said method comprising:a. providing a mixing reservoir;b. connecting first and second fluid conduits to said mixing reservoir for respectively flowing said reclaimed water and said treatment water into said mixing reservoir;c. connecting a third fluid conduit to said mixing reservoir for discharging a flow of treated water from said mixing reservoir;d. providing sensing means for sensing parameters including: (1) the flow rate and quality of the reclaimed water entering the mixing reservoir through said first fluid conduit, (2) the flow rate and quality of the treatment water entering the mixing reservoir through said second fluid conduit, and (3) the quality of the treated water being discharged from the mixing reservoir through said third fluid conduit;e. providing signal generating means being responsive to said sensing means for providing signals indicative of the sensed parameters in said reclaimed water and indicative of said sensed water flow rates; andf. providing control means responsive to said provided signals for regulating the flows of reclaimed water and treatment water into said mixing reservoir through said first and second fluid conduits so as to cause the quality of the treated water discharged from said mixing reservoir through said third fluid conduit to be at least about as good as said pre-established treated water quality.
