Abstract

A system implementing the principles of vortex fluid flow to assist with the removal of contaminants from water. Predominantly this process has a significant effect on the levels of minerals in the water as the impurities are directed out of the water in the spinning process. The purified water is allowed to flow out from the vortex at a point where the impurities have been removed and the impurities themselves are allowed to settle out from the vortex where they collect and may be removed from the system at a later time. The system of the present invention includes assembling an array of such vortex heads on a series of flow cylinders to multiply the effect of the mineral removal process. Preferably, a series of five (5) such cylinders can effectively remove mineral impurities from relatively 'hard' water.
