1. Description of the Related Art
Hard water has a high mineral content, usually consisting of mostly calcium and magnesium. In fact, the measure of water hardness is expressed in various units to express how much calcium carbonate is present in a given volume of water. The water hardness is expressed in units such as ppm (parts per million), gpg (grains per gallon), or mg/L (milligrams per liter). The hard water poses problems with the plumbing in homes. The hard water forms hard deposits of calcium Called scaling thereby affecting faucets, shower-heads, dishwashers, and heating elements of water heaters. The scaling reduces water flow, heating efficiency, and leave spots on the dishes.
A water filter system is used to remove the sedimentary limestone (calcium carbonate) that appears in hot water heaters, gas water heaters and gas water heater package. Normally, a magnetic arc or exclusive polyphosphate crystals are adopted to regulate the water molecules to remove the lime stuck to water molecules and the water molecules are lead towards polyphosphate crystal housing. As a result, the lime molecules were softened and water heater is not damaged. Currently available water filters have sole physical effect of magnetic arc or effect of the polyphosphate salt crystals on lime molecules. These two filters individually have various drawbacks such as lack of effect or coordination to protect the devices. For instance, the disadvantage of filters containing crystal has a limited effect of crystals due to irregularity of water molecules and the expiration of polyphosphate crystals that leads to failure in removing the lime. In this case, the user is aware of the filter failure only after the device is damaged and has to pay a lot to recompense the damage.
The problem of lime sedimentation in hot water heaters and gas water heaters is reduced utilizing positional effect of either magnet softener or using polyphosphate crystal softeners. With the sole physical effect of magnetic arc or the sole chemical effect of polyphosphate crystals, the present day water filters are not able to neutralize the water deposits. As a result, sediments are produced in hot water heaters and gas water heater that cause damage to heat exchanger and gas water heater package coil due to separate working of the two filters over time. Moreover, in case of the user's lack of attention in regard with crystals' expiration, the filter with the magnetic arc has a relative functionality on lime molecules.
In the view of aforementioned drawbacks, there is a need for a water filter uses the magnetic effect and chemical effect to remove a large amount of lime sedimentation in water heaters.
The above mentioned shortcomings, disadvantages and problems are addressed herein and which will be understood by reading and studying the following specification.

The various embodiments herein provide a poly-magnetic filter for removing the limestone sediments in untreated water received from a water supply source. On contrary to exclusive magnet filter and exclusive polyphosphate filter, the poly-magnetic filter has a double impact on the untreated, thus neutralizing water deposits in the various appliances. The magnetic filter further facilitates or enhances a longevity of the appliances by preventing sedimentation of limestone. The poly-magnetic filter simultaneously makes use of the process of chemical effect and physical effect as the filter utilizes both the magnetic water treatment and polyphosphate water softening methods. By means of double effect, the limestone molecules struck with the water molecules are broken down and filtered. Another advantage with the poly-magnetic filter is that the filter survives with using, the magnetic effect to lessen the damage to the required appliance even when the polyphosphate crystals in the filter are exhausted. In case of a user's lack of attention in regard with crystals' expiration, the filter with its magnetic effect has a relative functionality on the limestone molecules.
The poly-magnetic filter is configured for separating limestone molecules from water molecules and purifying the untreated water impending from the water supply source. The filtered water is provided to plumbing system and water-using appliances like washing machines, thereby eliminating the clogging in plumbing system and preventing scales in the appliances. The filter is placed inside or outside of a particular water-using appliance. The filter is installed between an output valve of the water supply source and a water input valve of the appliance.
The inlet port 106 is made up of forged brass, which enables the port to be highly resistant and shatterproof. The inlet port 106 is connected to the output pipe of the water supply source. The inlet port 106 is configured to provide an entry to the untreated water from the water supply source into the filter body 101. The magnetic power unit 104 is positioned after the input port, which is configured to regulate the water molecules as the water flows through the filter body 101.
The poly-magnetic filter comprises the transparent housing 102 which is configured to store the softened water incoming from the magnetic power filter 104. The transparent housing 102 is made up of Styrene-acrylonitrile resin material or polycarbonate material. The polyphosphate cartridge 105 is mounted in a removable manner on the transparent housing 102. The polyphosphate cartridge 105 is configured to further soften the water which was treated by the magnetic power unit 104. The polyphosphate cartridge 105 is cylindrical in shape and comprises a lower plate and an upper plate arranged on either ends of the cylinder. The polyphosphate cartridge 105 comprises an opening at the lower plate through which the treated water from the magnetic power unit 104 enters the polyphosphate cartridge 105. The polyphosphate cartridge 105 comprises a plurality of polyphosphate beads constituting means for removing the limestone molecules from the untreated water. The polyphosphate cartridge 105 comprises a cover having an opening for passing the filtered liquid from the upper plate of the polyphosphate cartridge 105. The softened water from the magnetic power unit 104 is filled in the transparent housing 102. The water in the transparent housing 102 slowly enters the polyphosphate cartridge 105 from the lower part of the cartridge 105. Then, the remaining limestone is mingled with sodium hexamethazone and completely broken down after contiguity with polyphosphate crystals. The water molecules strike with the polyphosphate crystals and the lime molecules are removed from water due to double impact. The process enables a total removal of limestone after passing through the cartridge 105 of the filter. The magnetic effect on the untreated water is the first effect for preventing a formation of limestone and molecular dissociation. The water further reacts with polyphosphate crystals and forms water molecular combination with sodium hexamethazone so as to facilitate a complete dissociation of limestone, thereby completely avoiding the formation of limestone when the water exits from the water outlet port 107.
The poly-magnetic filter comprises two outlet ports 107a and 107b which are configured for providing an exit to filtered water. A user chooses any one of the outlet ports 107a and 107b depending on convenience. The first outlet port-A 107a is placed opposite to the inlet port and is perpendicular to the second outlet port-B 107b. Any one of the outlet ports is selected depending on the position of the pipe system of the appliance to which the filter is being connected. The outlet port-A 107a is connected to an input valve of the appliance whereas the second outlet port-B 107b is closed with a covering cap or vice versa.
b and 3C illustrate a side view of the poly-magnetic filter indicating a plurality of configurations for connecting a piping system of an appliance to output ports of the poly-magnetic filter, according to an embodiment herein. The purpose of two output ports is for easier installation. An installer, in some position need to install the filter in straight way and in some other positions the filter needs to be installed in right-angle due to the position pipe system and position of the appliances. The water outlet port-A 107a is selected when the pipe system is parallel to a plane of the said filter (Shown in
According to an embodiment herein, the installer needs to find the input water pipe of the appliance being connected to the filter before installation. The installer must be sure that the size of the pipe is at least half an inch because all the brass ports have dimension of half an inch. When the size of input water pipe is different, the installer must use a convertor/reducer/coupler from other size to half inch so as to install the polymagnet filter. During the filter installation, firstly the filter body is connected between the water supply source and the appliance. The installer opens the plastic flange 103 and detaches the transparent housing and polyphosphate cartridge from the filter body. The installer then connects the filter body to the pipes of water supply source and appliance. The installer further places the cartridge in the housing and then fastens the housing and the cartridge to the filter body, using plastic flange 103.
The various embodiments herein provide a method for removing a plurality of limestone molecules from the untreated water using a poly-magnetic filter. The embodiments herein further provide the filtering method which primarily regulates the water molecules using the magnetic arc and further softens the water molecules using the poly-phosphate crystals.
