Patent ID: 6977041

Claim:
An apparatus for manufacturing deionized water, comprising: a first conduit for supplying water, the first conduit including a first flow control valve; a plurality of reverse osmotic pressure vessels connected to the first conduit, wherein each reverse osmotic pressure vessel comprises a water inlet, a deionized water outlet, and a concentrated water outlet; a filtering experimental vessel connected to the first conduit, wherein the filtering experimental vessel comprises a water inlet, a deionized water outlet, and a concentrated water; a second conduit connected to the plurality of reverse osmotic pressure vessels and the filtering experimental vessel for outputting the deionized water, the second conduit including a second flow control valve; a third conduit connected to the plurality of reverse osmotic pressure vessels and the filtering experimental vessel for outputting concentrated ion water, the third conduit including a third flow control valve; a reservoir comprising a first outlet, a first inlet and a second inlet; a fourth conduit connecting the first conduit to the first outlet of the reservoir; a fifth conduit connecting the second conduit to the first inlet of the reservoir; and a sixth conduit connecting the third conduit to the second inlet of the reservoir, wherein the first flow control valve, when closed, isolates the fourth conduit and the water inlet of the filtering experimental vessel from the water inlets of the reverse osmotic pressure vessels, wherein the second flow control valve, when closed, isolates the fifth conduit and the deionized water outlet of the filtering experimental vessel from the deionized water outlets of the reverse osmotic pressure vessels, and wherein the third flow control valve, when closed, isolates the sixth conduit and the concentrated water outlet of the filtering experimental vessel from the concentrated water outlets of the reverse osmotic pressure vessels.
