The present invention relates to an apparatus for purifying water using germanium balls, and more particularly, to an apparatus capable of purifying water quality such as fish farms using germanium balls having far-infrared radiation, deodorization, and antibacterial functions.

Germanium (Ge) is a porous mineral belonging to rare earth metals and is composed of 32 electrons, and when foreign matter comes into contact with one of the four outer electrons, By combining with the electrons of foreign substances, it has the ability to decompose or neutralize heavy metals, various toxic or pollutants, deodorization and antibacterial functions.

In addition, germanium can supply ionized oxygen due to the composition of active electrons, which can activate cells and promote development, convert acidic water into alkaline water that is beneficial to the human body, have a wet and dry action, and emit far-infrared rays that are beneficial for development and growth. As an active substance that can enable the strengthening of physiological activity and metabolism, it is applied in the health field as well as other fields.

Germanium is used for the purification of drinking water as well as the large water tank or water purification of apartments.

On the other hand, artificially produced closed freshwater, for example, freshwater used in fish farms, artificial ponds, fish tanks, etc., is difficult to expect a purification effect by organic microorganisms, and water pollution is generated by various pollutants.

In particular, in the case of fish farms, water pollution caused by organic substances discharged from fish excreta is problematic. Organics such as nitrogen, phosphorus and ammonia not only have a fatal effect on the gills of fish, but also slow the growth of fish.

Therefore, in order to prevent water pollution of fish farms, 15 ~ 20% of water is returned every day and water purification is performed by a separate water purification device.

Conventional water purification methods include spraying water through a nozzle to increase the amount of dissolved oxygen in the water, and administering bacteria and specially synthesized bionutrients (special enzymes) to the pond. However, in the case of the water injection method, the oxygen treatment ratio is inevitably limited, and in the case of the method of administering bionutrients, there is a disadvantage in that a lot of maintenance costs are required.

Recently, a method of forcibly circulating water to a water purification device has been widely used. The existing water purification device operates to filter various pollutants through a filtering network by pumping water by a pump of a circulation line. However, such a device has a problem in that replacement and cleaning operations are not easy and the organic matter in the water cannot be decomposed when the filter network is blocked by foreign substances.

In addition, a method of purifying using microorganism-supported media is used. In this case, there is an effect of decomposing organic matter in the water, but there is a problem in that the device requires a complicated and large installation area.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made to improve the above problems, and an object thereof is to provide a water purification device having a simple structure and a small volume while being capable of physical decomposition as well as decomposition of organic substances in water.
