Patent ID: 6936176

Claim:
A transportable water treatment system configured to purify water, comprising: an inlet adapted to receive water having a pressure of between 10 to 60 psig (0.70 to 4.22 kilogram-force per square centimeter gauge); a primary regenerable filter connected so as to receive water that has flown through said inlet, said primary regenerable filter configured to separate solids from water flowing therethrough, said primary regenerable filter comprises a layer of anthracite having an average particle size of between 0.5 and 1.5 millimeter in diameter a layer of garnet having an average particle size between or equal to 425 to 600 micrometres and a layer of support material where support material is selected from the group consisting of coarse garnet or gravel having an average particle size of between 1.8 to 5 micrometres; a secondary regenerable filter, said secondary regenerable filter connected downstream from primary regenerable filter, said secondary regenerable filter further comprises filter media comprising a layer of garnet having an average particle size between or equal to 200 to 75 micrometres a layer of garnet having an average particle size between or equal to 425 to 600 micrometres and a layer of support material where support material is selected from the group consisting of coarse garnet or gravel having an average particle size of between 1.8 to 5 micrometres; and a chemical feed unit connected downstream of said secondary regenerable filter, said chemical feed unit configured to treat water flowing through introduction of chemicals to the water; a water discharge pipe adapted to discharge treated water from said chemical feed unit; and where said inlet, said primary regenerable filter, said secondary regenerable filter, said chemical feed unit, and said discharges pipe make up a transportable water treatment and said transportable water treatment is adapted to fit within a bed of a sub-compact pickup truck.
