Claims
- 1. An integral water purification system comprising apparatus located in a constantly existing source of impure water and including:
- a container having a lower portion provided with enclosing liquid retaining wall means for holding a substantially static body of impure water therewithin in corresponding static condition and closing off liquid flow of such water therefrom and further having valve means for continual replenishment of said water in said container from the constantly existing source of the impure water,
- a cover of flexible plastic material for said container for providing heat accumulation within said container whereby said water is directly vaporized and rises as a vapor to the upper portion of said container above such static body of impure water,
- means comprising cloth covered baffles in the container for increasing the evaporation area therewithin,
- a blower for moving said vapor across the upper portion of said container above such static body of impure water,
- a vapor pipe for receiving and transporting said vapor from an area of one natural temperature through an area of a lower natural temperature whereby said vapors are condensed into water, and
- means including a liquid pipe and a pump for transporting said condensed water to a storage tank.
- 2. The integral water purification system of claim 1 in which the pipe for receiving and transporting the vapors extends from adjacent the surface of the source of the impure water to a deeper and cooler depth and wherein a condensing container is disposed in the depths of the source of the impure water at the deeper end of said pipe for receiving and transporting said vapor.
- 3. The integral water purification system of claim 1 including an intermediate water aerating system and wherein the pipe for receiving and transporting said vapors passes indirectly through said water aerating system.
- 4. The integral water purification system of claim 1 in which the blower comprises means driven by natural wind forces for blowing air across the container above the static body of impure water.
