Abstract: The water purification device for softening, decarbonization or demineralization of water, comprises a water leak-proof housing, water- inlet and outlet lines connectable with an external water pipeline, a blending device for blending the water not prepared or water processed in other manner in a blend ratio, an adjustment device having adjustment elements (7, 22, 23), which adjust the blend ratio of the quantity of processed water to quantity of not processed water or quantity of water processed in other manner, and turn- and/or thrust valve. The water purification device for softening, decarbonization or demineralization of water, comprises a water leak-proof housing, water inlet and outlet lines connectable with an external water pipeline, a blending device for blending the water not processed or water processed in other manner in a blend ratio, an adjustment device having adjustment elements (7, 22, 23), which adjusts the blend ratio of the quantity of processed water to quantity of not processed water or quantity of water processed in other manner, turn- and/or thrust valve, a flow meter (20) and/or conductance sensors (26, 27) intended as a sensor element for the detection of the water level and/or the level of a part of processing medium and for the measurement of the raw water and/or the processed water, a control unit (24) arranged to control the blending ratio, a connection element (2) connected to the respective water pipelines during the exchange of transition elements, a drive and/or an energy storage arranged by impact water pressure for the operation of the adjustment elements, an electrical and/or mechanical energy storage arranged for an electrical and/or mechanical actuator, a replaceable/rechargeable energy storage arranged in the transition of the transition element, a first flow path arranged with processing area of the processing medium, a second flow path arranged with or without the processing area, a thrust unit intended on water in the device by the flow paths for the variation of the volume streams, a mobile thrush element arranged with a passage for the flow paths, a communication element arranged in the connection element and/or in the transition element and/or in the control unit, a wireless communication channel arranged between the communication elements, and a wireless energy transmission arranged between the communication elements. The adjustment element depend upon an operation parameter of the device during operation, is automatically operatable through the device. The processing medium of the device stands in contact with flow-throughable water and has processing area, which shows a filter material and/or an ion exchange material. The automatic adjustment of the blend ratios is intended for the water level and/or the level of the processing medium by the hydraulically operatable adjustment element. The mobile thrush element is arranged in such a manner that the cross section of a flow path is changeable in position dependent manner. The thrust element comprises a wheel.
