Filed:

Jul 30, 2020

Appl. No.:

16/943407

Inventors:

- Ada MI, US
Joshua B. Taylor - Rockford MI, US
Daniel L. Schlenk - Grand Rapids MI, US
Jeffrey A. Shumate - Comstock Park MI, US

International Classification:

C02F 1/32
C02F 1/00

Abstract:

A UV reactor for disinfecting water. The UV reactor may include a cooling chamber in which heat from a UV source may be transferred to the water flowing through the UV reactor. The UV reactor may include driver circuitry operable to determine status information, such as health, of the UV source. The UV reactor may include a gas discharge path operable to substantially prevent accumulation of gas within a water treatment chamber.

B67D 1/10
B67D 1/07
B67D 1/08

Abstract:

A water heating system is provided. The water heating system includes an inlet connectable to a supply of untreated water, supply and return lines connectable to a point-of-use water treatment system, and an output for dispensing a supply of treated and optionally heated water. An internal heating element is adapted to heat the treated water to one of a plurality of pre-selected temperature settings. Temperature control can be achieved by cycling the power applied to the heating element and/or controlling the flow rate of treated water through the heating element. The water heating system includes additional improvements in electrical compatibility, energy consumption, and remote failure detection.
