Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing water systems fail to consistently produce stabilized oxygen levels above 14 parts per million (ppm) in water, limiting the therapeutic benefits of hyper-oxygenated soaking spas.
Innovation Solution
A self-contained water system that includes a nano-purification stage to reduce total dissolved solids to 4 ppm, a remineralization stage to add desired minerals, a sanitizer stage using UV sterilization, ozonation, and hydrogen peroxide to remove contaminants, and an oxygenation stage to control dissolved oxygen concentration from 10 to 50 ppm, ensuring the water is purified, alkaline, ionized, mineral-rich, and oxygen-rich.

Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Quantity of substance
If conventional water systems are used, then the system is simple and easy to operate, but the dissolved oxygen concentration cannot be consistently stabilized above 14 ppm
Solution Approach 1:
The water treatment system is divided into multiple functional stages: nano-purification stage, remineralization stage, sanitizer stage, and oxygenation stage. Each stage performs a specific function to progressively improve water quality, enabling consistent stabilization of dissolved oxygen above 14 ppm while maintaining system manageability through modular design.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces intermediary substances and processes including UV sterilization, ozonation, and hydrogen peroxide as sanitizers, along with mineral supplements and oxygen injection systems. These intermediaries facilitate the transformation of conventional water into hyper-oxygenated water, achieving the desired oxygen concentration through controlled chemical and physical additions.
2Reliability
If multiple treatment stages are added to produce hyper-oxygenated water, then water quality improves, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary treatment actions in sequence: first nano-purification to remove contaminants, then remineralization to add essential minerals, followed by sanitization using UV, ozone, and hydrogen peroxide, and finally oxygenation. Each preliminary action prepares the water for the next stage, ensuring consistent high-quality output while organizing complexity into a logical progression.
Solution Approach 2:
The system dynamically adjusts treatment parameters including pH levels, mineral content, oxygen concentration, and sanitizer dosing based on detected water quality conditions. This enables reliable production of hyper-oxygenated water (20-50 ppm dissolved oxygen) while adapting the complexity of treatment stages to actual needs, reducing unnecessary complexity when standard parameters are sufficient.

AI summary
A self-contained water system that provides single point hyper-oxygenated water delivery to a soaking vessel, part of a conventional soaking spa, is presented. The self-contained water system purifies incoming water and restructures the purified water to deliver purified, alkaline, ionized, mineral-rich, and oxygen-rich water. Dissolved oxygen concentration of the water in the soaking vessel can be controlled and maintained at a desired high concentration value, in a range of 10 mg per liter to 50 mg per liter, for water that is at a temperature ranging from 4° C. to 50° C.
