Water demineralizing systems

Claim 1

IN A WATER DEMINERALINZING SYSTEM: A DEMINERALIZING UNIT INCLUDING STRUCTURE DEFINING A TREATMENT CHAMBER AND AN ANOLYTE CHAMBER AND A CATHOLYTE CHAMBER WITH A FIRST DIAPHRAGM AS A COMMON WALL BETWEEN SAID TREATMENT CHAMBER AND SAID ANOLYTE CHAMBER AND WITH A SECOND DIAPHRAGM AS A COMMON WALL BETWEEN SAID TREATMENT CHAMBER AND SAID CATHOLYTE CHAMBER, AN ANODE IN SAID ANOLYTE CHAMBER, A CATHODE IN SAID CATHCLYTE CHAMBER, AND A POROUS ION EXCHANGE BED ARRANGED IN SAID TREATMENT CHAMBER AND CHARACTERIZED BY BOTH CATION EXCHANGE AND ANION EXCHANGE, AN INLET PIPE ADAPTED TO CONTAIN RAW WATER UNDER PRESSURE AND CONNECTED TO SAID TREATMENT CHAMBER, AN OUTLET PIPE ADAPTED TO CONTAIN DEMINERALIZED WATER UNDER PRESSURE AND CONNECTED TO SAID TREATMENT CHAMBER, VALVE MECHANISM FOR CONTROLLING THE FLOW OF WATER FROM SAID INLET PIPE THROUGH SAID TREAMENT CHAMBER AND INTO CONTACT WITH SAID ION EXCHANGE BED AND THENCE THOUGH SAID OULET PIPE WITH THE RESULT THAT THE RAW WATER PASSING THROUGH SAID TREATMENT CHAMBER IS DEMINERALIZED AND SAID ION EXCHANGE BED IS CORRESPONDINGLY DEGENERATED, FIRST CONDUIT MEANS FOR SUPPLYING FRESH ANOLYTE INTO SAID ANOLYTE CHAMBER, SECOND CONDUIT MEANS FOR SUPPLYING FRESH CATHOLYTE INTO SAID CATHOLYTE CHAMBER, A POWER CIRCUIT FOR CONDUCTING A DIRECT CURRENT FROM SAID ANODE TO SAID CATHODE, WHEREBY SAID ION EXCHANGE BED IS REGENERATED WITH THE MIGRATION OF THE SORBED ANIONS AND CATIONS OF THE MINERAL SALTS RESPECTIVELY INTO SAID ANOLYTE AND INTO SAID CATHOLYTE WITH THE RESULT THAT ION CONCENTRATIONS THEREIN ARE INCREASED, VALVE APPARATUS FOR CONTROLLING THE SUPPLY OF FRESH ANOLYTE FROM SAID FIRST CONDUIT MEANS INTO SAID ANOLYTE CHAMBER AND THE SUPPLY OF FRESH CATHOLYTE FROM SAID SECOND CONDUIT MEANS INTO SAID CATHOLYTE CHAMBER, AND AUTOMATIC MEANS GOVERNED BY THE ION CONCENTRATIONS IN SAID ANOLYTE AND IN SAID CATHOLYTE FOR SELECTIVELY CONTROLLING SAID VALVE APPARATUS, SO THAT SAID VALVE APPARATUS IS OPEN IN RESPONSE TO RELATIVELY HIGH CONCENTRATIONS OF IONS IN SAID ANOLYTE AND IN SAID CATHOLYTE AND IS CLOSED IN REPONSE TO RELATIVELY LOW CONCENTRATIONS OF IONS IN SAID ANOLYTE AND IN SAID CATHOLYTE.
