The instant invention is a two piece waist mounted harness for use in hands free exercising of pets. The two pieced waist harness includes a back portion which is enlarged and padded and can be placed about a persons waist with a front portion which allows for ease of securement by the use of hook and loop attachment. A nylon strap engages the entire circumference of the first and second portion of the waist harness to prevent disengagement of the harness during use. The waist harness includes multiple attachment loops to allow for caring of addition items including attachment of multiple pets. A pouch is formed integral to the waist harness for carrying of small items such as pet treats. In addition, a flexible strap is provided for carrying of bottled water. The front portion of the waist harness is securable to a quick release snap mechanism that allows for engagement of multiple tethered pets and for quick disengagement as necessary.

A water treatment tank for use with water purification apparatus including an ultra-violet lamp within an encapsulating sleeve onto which incoming water is directed to provide a thin laminar flow about the bulb. The lower compartment has cooling coils about the walls for cooling the water therein relative to the water in the upper compartment. A surrounding sleeve may be located intermediate the encapsulating sleeve and an outer vessel in the tank. A leak detector is located in the encapsulating sleeve. The leak detector and outer vessel are believed to provide safety to users in the event of internal breakage in the tank. A reflective surface is also utilized to direct UV light into portions of the faucets formerly obscured from UV treatment. The faucets preferably provide self-sanitizing capability and an information center selectively displays time until next service, cost savings over bottled water and information related to the dispenser.

A combined feed tube mounting adapter and sanitizer unit for use in a bottled water cooler having a cooler reservoir for receiving water from a bottle mounted in an inverted orientation for water downflow from the bottle to the reservoir. The combined unit includes an adapter body removably mounted over the cooler reservoir, with an upstanding feed tube or probe for operatively engaging a valved bottle cap on the neck of the inverted water-containing bottle. An air filter is mounted on the adapter body along an air inflow path to filter ambient air drawn into the reservoir. The combined unit further includes a flow line for introducing ozone gas into the reservoir-contained water. In a preferred form, this flow line is coupled with a gas generator which is operated by a controller mounted in a user-accessible position on the adapter body.

A beverage dispensing kiosk that contains empty beverage containers and fills them with water and other beverages. The beverage containers comply with applicable regulations and standards to be designated “compostable.” The kiosk uses municipal water as the base, purifies the water, and adds constituents to meet the taste of the ultimate consumer. The delivered beverage may be commonly known as bottled water or as a soft drink, such as a cola beverage.

The Beverage Dispensing Box for Office and Kitchen Counters is intended to hold a flexible disposable beverage bag filled with a potable liquid and dispense that liquid under pressure when the spigot is opened. The Beverage Dispensing Box is unique in that it employs the law of gravity. Through the use of a sloped container floor and a weighted pressure plate, a natural force (non-mechanical or electrical) is applied to the flexible disposable beverage bag, thus causing the potable liquid to flow from the bag under pressure at a greater gallon per minute (GPM) rate than that of a typical un-pressurized flexible disposable beverage bag—commonly found in corrugated cardboard boxes such as the Wine-in-a-Box container; and at a greater GPM rate than that of a typical 2.5 or 5 gallon bottled water dispensing apparatus. The Beverage Dispensing Box is designed to sit on office, kitchen or other countertops where no electricity is required for use. The Beverage Dispensing Box is a durable reusable container that will positively impact the environment because it will be manufactured from recycled plastic and metals; and will displace the need for disposable plastic bottles, such as bottled water.

The invention aims at providing a hydrogen water preparation method and device, a bottled water production line and a water purifier or water dispenser which mainly solve the problems that hydrogen water prepared through an existing preparation method is poor in quality and drinking safety. The hydrogen water preparation method comprises the steps that a proton membrane and a cathode and an anode which are located on the two sides of the proton membrane are supplied; the cathode and the anode are electrified, and water is introduced into only one side of the cathode; part of the water is electrolyzed to generate hydrogen on the cathode side and generate oxygen on the anode side; the generated hydrogen is mixed with the water on the cathode side to form the hydrogen water. The hydrogen water prepared through the hydrogen water preparation method has the advantages of being fine in hydrogen bubble, high in hydrogen-enriched level and free of introduced contaminants; meanwhile, due to the fact that the generated hydrogen is uniformly distributed on the electrodes making contact with the water, the water-hydrogen mixing effect is good, and hydrogen enriching is better promoted; in addition, hydrogen generated through electrolysis has more activity and not only can be used for preparation in a large hydrogen water plant but also can be used for site production of small household water dispensers.

The resultant solvent provides a clear aqueous beverage including completely absorbable bone minerals for maintaining bone density and strength and to prevent osteoporosis. The beverage of the present invention can be used as a substitute for plain bottled water, sodas, and the like, and as a substitute for people who are allergic to milk.

The invention relates to a process for producing bottled water sterilized by ozone, which comprises the following continuous steps: gathering original water in an original water tank (1), and pumping the water from the original water tank (1) to a buffer tank (2); injecting ozone before the water is pumped to the buffer tank (2); bottling the ozonized water through a filling machine after the water is pumped to the buffer tank (2). The process is characterized in that the water flow is maintained at a constant value between the original water tank (1) and the buffer tank (2), and the ozone which has stable concentration and can be transiently used is injected in the water.

A method for detecting trace levels of dissolved organic compounds and leached plastic compounds in drinking water includes the steps of employing deep ultraviolet light-emitting diode induced fluorescence at sensitivity levels of several parts per trillion in real time so that a more compact and inexpensive excitation source, relative to a deep UV laser-induced fluorescence, for fluorescence detection of dissolved organic compounds in water is provided. The deep UV light-emitting diode is operated at an excitation near 265 nm and the laser induced fluorescence is detected at an emission near 450 nm to 500 nm for the dissolved organic compounds and near 310 nm for leached plastic compounds. Optical absorption filters and optical bandpass filters are employed to reduce out-of-band light emitting diode emissions and to eliminate second order optical interference signals for the detection of a fluorescence signal near 450 nm to near 500 nm. The system can measure water contained within a quartz optical cell, within bottled water containers, or in a flowing stream of water.
