Abstract
Water to be purified is directed into a first tank and is entrained with ozone. The ozonated water is channeled into a second tank and is exposed to ultraviolet radiation. An ultraviolet radiating lamp produces the ultraviolet radiation and also is exposed to a source of air for generating ozone. The generated ozone is conveyed to and entrained in the water in the first tank. A filter may be used to filter the water flowing into the first tank. A discharge conduit conveys the ozonated, irradiated and purified water to a point of use.
