Abstract:
1. A method for purification of water comprising: floating a raft on a source of water, the water to be purified, the raft associated with a device; activating the device; pumping, under computerized control water from the source to now through an inlet of the device; selectively injecting, under computerized control, prior to filtration, a chemical pre-treatment into the flowing device-pumped inlet water; pumping, under computerized control, the inlet water into a multi media filter; filtering the inlet water using the multi media filter to provide filtered water; pumping, under computerized control, the filtered water into a plurality of reverse osmosis columns, said columns for converting the filtered water into an osmosis water having less particulate matter and less dissolved contaminant than the filtered water; receiving the osmosis water from the reverse osmosis columns in a buffer tank; pumping, under computerized control, water from the buffer tank; selectively injecting ozone, under computerized control, into the water pumped from the buffer tank to form ozonated water; selectively passing, under computerized control, the ozonated water from the ozone system back to the buffer tank via a first valve; selectively passing the ozonated water, under computerized control, from the ozone system to a washing station via a second valve, the washing station for washing a receptacle in preparation for dispensing into the receptacle water dispensed by the device; passing water from the buffer tank to an Ultra Violet (“UV”) system and inactivating bacteria in the water received from the buffer tank using the UV System; and selectively adding minerals to the water from the IN system prior to dispensing the water from the device.
