Description

  The present invention relates to a water treatment apparatus, and more particularly to a water treatment apparatus that purifies water such as tap water and well water and further activates the water.

  In the present application, water such as tap water and well water treated by a water treatment device is referred to as “treated water”.

  A water purifier using a reverse osmosis membrane has already been disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Registration No. 3037029.

  In the conventional water purifier, by applying an appropriate pressure to the water to be treated and permeating the reverse osmosis membrane (semipermeable membrane), harmful substances such as agricultural chemicals and other impurities contained in the water to be treated are removed. The water is separated to obtain pure water or permeated water close to pure water.

Pure water obtained by the conventional water purifier or permeated water close to pure water is preferably used in fields such as the medical and electronic industries.

  However, the permeated water that has permeated through the reverse osmosis membrane is pure water or water close to pure water from which the active ingredient contained in the water before permeation has been separated and removed, and therefore is not necessarily preferable as drinking water. Absent.

  In view of such a situation, the present invention has been made to provide a water treatment apparatus that further activates permeated water obtained by permeating treated water through a reverse osmosis membrane.

In the water purification means, by applying appropriate pressure to the water to be treated and permeating the reverse osmosis membrane, harmful substances such as agricultural chemicals and other impurities contained in the water to be treated are separated, and purified water or pure water is obtained. Near permeate is obtained.

  That is, impurities such as trihalomethane, bacteria, ammonium, arsenic, cadmium, nitrite nitrogen, copper, cyanide, lead and mercury contained in the water to be treated are almost completely removed.

  The treated water from which impurities have been removed in the water purification means is then activated by the activation means.

  The activation means includes, from the upstream side, a first activation chamber storing a tourmaline rough stone, a second activation chamber storing a tourmaline ceramic body, and a third chamber storing a tourmaline ceramic body smaller than the tourmaline ceramic body. An activation chamber is provided, and the water to be treated from which impurities have been removed by the water purification means sequentially passes through the first activation chamber, the second activation chamber, and the third activation chamber.

  Tourmaline emits a weak current and electrolyzes the water to be treated to make it weakly alkaline. Further, tourmaline decomposes water clusters by high voltage and activates water to be treated.

  Tourmaline contains a mineral, and the water to be treated is mineralized by eluting the mineral into the water to be treated.

  Furthermore, tourmaline generates negative ions to turn the water to be treated into negative ion water.

  Weak alkalinization, activation, mineralization, and mine ion hydration of treated water are ensured by sequentially passing treated water through the first activation chamber, the second activation chamber, and the third activation chamber. To be realized.

[Invention of claim 2]
The treated water that has entered the activation means falls in the first space, collides with the first upstream perforated plate, diffuses, enters the first activation chamber through each hole of the first upstream perforated plate. .

  The water to be treated that has passed through the first activation chamber passes through the first downstream porous plate to form a shower, generates negative ions, collides with the second upstream porous plate, Enter the second activation chamber through the hole.

  The water to be treated that has passed through the second activation chamber passes through the second downstream perforated plate to form a shower, further generates negative ions, collides with the third upstream perforated plate, Enter the third activation chamber through each hole.

  The water to be treated that has passed through the third activation chamber passes through the third downstream perforated plate to form a shower, further generates negative ions, exits the activation means, and is used for drinking.

  As described above, the negative ionization of the water to be treated is further promoted.

[Invention of Claim 1]
To-be-treated water is separated from harmful substances such as agricultural chemicals and other impurities in the water purification means, and becomes pure water or a state close to pure water. By passing through the chemical conversion chamber and the third activation chamber sequentially, weak alkalinization, activation, mineralization, and mine ion hydration are reliably realized. Therefore, the obtained water turns into delicious water very suitable for drinking.

[Invention of claim 2]
The water to be treated is further promoted to negative ionization in the activating means, and becomes a delicious water more suitable for drinking.
