Abstract
Abstract A distinguishing feature of this invention consists in that a source of monochromatic light is located in the apparatus so that the axis thereof is aligned with a geometric center of an inlet port in a water line section, with said water line section made of transparent material. Inserted into a circuit of a coil and an electric power source is an electromagnet connected in series with said coil through a timer and mounting a screen seated on its core and serving for periodic interruption of a beam of light.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim
107 words
A water treatment apparatus, comprising: a water line; a circuit having a coil mounted about said water line and an electric power source connected thereto; an electromagnet in said circuit and a timer in series with said coil; one section of said water line provided with a light inlet port made of a transparent material; a source of monochromatic light having an axis thereof aligned with a geometric center of said inlet port in said water line section; and a screen mounted connected to be actuated by said electromagnet under control of said timer for periodic interruption of said beam radiated by said source of monochromatic light.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
107 words
A water treatment apparatus, comprising: a water line; a circuit having a coil mounted about said water line and an electric power source connected thereto; an electromagnet in said circuit and a timer in series with said coil; one section of said water line provided with a light inlet port made of a transparent material; a source of monochromatic light having an axis thereof aligned with a geometric center of said inlet port in said water line section; and a screen mounted connected to be actuated by said electromagnet under control of said timer for periodic interruption of said beam radiated by said source of monochromatic light.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
18 words
A water treatment apparatus as claimed in claim 1, wherein said source of monochromatic light is a laser.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
120 words
A water treatment apparatus comprising; means for defining an enclosed flow path for a flow of water to be treated as the water flows, means defining a light-pervious port on the first mentioned means for allowing monochromatic light to flow therethrough along the flow path and through the flow of water as it flows, a source of monochromatic light for applying monochromatic light through said port to the water, a coil disposed for developing an electromagnetic field in said first-mentioned means so that said flow of water flows through said field, means for periodically energizing said coil and deenergizing it and simultaneously controlling application of said monochromatic light to said flow of water during intervals of energization of said coil.
