Patent ID: 7250111

Claim:
An iodine water treatment system coupled to a water supply under pressure comprising: a flow sensor generating an activation signal when flow from said water supply is sensed; a particle filter and a carbon filter coupled in series with said water supply and creating a first partially treated water flow; a fluid splitter for said first partially treated water flow, said fluid splitter creating first and second diverted flows from said first partially treated water flow; an actuated first and second cutoff valve isolating an iodine filter coupled therebetween, said first cutoff valve receiving said first diverted flow from said fluid splitter and said iodine filter creating a second partially treated water flow; an actuated third cutoff valve receiving said second diverted flow from said fluid splitter; said first, second and third cutoff valves activated open in the presence of said activation signal from said flow sensor; a fluid junction coupled to said third cutoff valve and said second cutoff valve and mixing said second partially treated water flow with said second diverted flow to form a third partially treated water flow: a holding tank retaining a volume of said third partially treated water, said holding tank coupled to said fluid junction; and a final carbon filter coupled intermediate said holding tank and a dispenser unit, said final carbon filter removing iodine from said third partially treated water prior to the dispensing of water from said dispensing unit.
