Patent ID: 7431835

Claim:
A portable system for the continuous on-site monitoring and treatment of water comprising: a protective enclosure adapted to be positioned proximate a source of collected water, said enclosure containing a first dirty water inlet, a first dirty water outlet, a second dirty water outlet, a return water inlet, a filtered water outlet and a clean water outlet; an internal fluid flow system disposed within said enclosure and comprising a first conduit extending from said first dirty water inlet to said first and second dirty water outlets and a second conduit extending from said return water inlet to said filtered water outlet and said clean water outlet; a pump mechanism for delivering water from a source to said first dirty water inlet on said enclosure and through said first and second conduits therein; a first probe disposed within said first conduit for measuring a first parameter of the water flowing through said first conduit; a second probe disposed within said second conduit for measuring said first parameter of the water flowing through said second conduit; and a controller assembly disposed within said enclosure and operatively connected to said probes for receiving from said probes the measured parameters of the water flowing through said conduits, said controller assembly comparing the parameter measured by said first probe with a predetermined acceptable level for said parameter and communicating said dirty water inlet with said first dirty water outlet if the parameter measured by said first probe is below said predetermined acceptable level and communicating said dirty water inlet with said second dirty water outlet if the parameter measured by said first probe meets or exceeds said predetermined acceptable level, said controller assembly further comparing the parameter measured by said second probe in said second conduit with a predetermined acceptable standard for said parameter and communicating said return water inlet with said filtered water outlet if the parameter measured by said second probe is below said predetermined acceptable standard and communicating said return water inlet with said clean water outlet if the measured parameter meets or exceeds said predetermined acceptable standard.
