Patent ID: 7122115

Claim:
A water treatment system comprising: an ion generator for applying metallic ions to the water having an inlet line and an output line; an output signal device for providing a signal based upon a flow rate of water passing through the output signal device, the output signal device having an input line and an output line, wherein the input line of the output signal device is connected to the output line of the ion generator; an ultraviolet disinfection unit for applying ultraviolet radiation to the water having an input line and an output line, wherein the input line of the ultraviolet disinfection unit is connected to the output line of the output signal device; an ion generator controller electronically coupled to the ion generator for controlling the ion generator; an ultraviolet disinfection unit controller electronically coupled to the ultraviolet disinfection unit; and a programmable logic controller electronically coupled to the output signal device and the ion generator controller and the ultraviolet light disinfection unit controller, whereby the programmable logic controller controls the ion generator controller and the ultraviolet disinfection controller in response to signal provided by the output signal device.
