Abstract

The water treatment system, particularly pre-filtration unit of the water treatment system, comprising at least one chlorine sensor device, includes a salt-water treatment device which is connected to the chlorine sensor device, an electrolysis cell being disposed in the associated line, and thereafter a pump and a release valve.

Claims (27)

1. A water treatment system comprising:

a water line for water to be treated, the water line including an inlet and an outlet,

a chlorine sensor device in communication with the water line,

a salt-water tank which is connected via a chlorine test line to the chlorine sensor device,

an electrolysis cell,

a pump, and,

a first valve,

the electrolysis cell, the pump, and the first valve being disposed in the chlorine test line, wherein the pump is between the salt-water tank and the electrolysis cell and the first valve is between the pump and the electrolysis cell,

a second valve disposed in a line between the electrolysis cell and the pump and wherein fluid flows from the electrolysis cell to the pump only when the second valve is open,

and a dechlorination device disposed in the water line.

2. The water treatment system according to claim 1 further comprising:

a softener device connected via a salt water line to the salt water tank.

3. The water treatment system according to claim 1 , wherein the pump is a venturi pump and wherein a water line in which an adjustable throttle is disposed leads to the pump.

4. The water treatment system according to claim 1 , wherein the chlorine sensor device comprises a sensor chamber and a chlorine sensor.

5. The water treatment system according to claim 4 , wherein the chlorine sensor is connected to an electronic evaluation unit.

6. The water treatment system according to claim 1 , wherein the salt water tank is arranged on a weighing device.

7. The water treatment system according to claim 1 , wherein the magnitude of the electrical power of the electrolysis cell is adjustable by a control device.

8. The water treatment system according to claim 1 wherein the dechlorination device comprises one or more outlets which are connected, via lines and switching valves, to the chlorine sensor device.

9. The water treatment system according to claim 1 , wherein the chlorine sensor comprises a free outlet.

10. A water treatment system comprising:

a water line for water to be treated, the water line including an inlet and an outlet,

a chlorine sensor device in communication with the water line,

a container with a chlorine-containing solution, the container being connected via a chlorine test line to the chlorine sensor device without passing through an electrolysis cell,

a pump and a valve both being disposed in the chlorine test line, and,

a dechlorination device disposed in the water line.

11. The water treatment system according to claim 10 , wherein the pump and the chlorine sensor device are arranged in a line which is connected to the chlorine test line and in which the supplied chlorine-containing liquid is circulated through the chlorine sensor device.

12. The water treatment system according to claim 10 , wherein the chlorine sensor comprises a free outlet.
