System and method of water treatment
First Claim
1. A water treatment system, comprising:
- an input pump for pumping water from a source through the system;
a filter section receiving water from the input pump; and
a UV treatment section for applying UV light to the water,wherein the UV treatment section comprises a tray for flow of water from an input end to an output end, and wherein UV lights are disposed above the surface of the water.

Abstract
A mobile water treatment system is disposed on a trailer of a truck. There is an intake filter, an intake hose, a pump or multiple pumps for water intake and sending water throughout the system, a filtering section that may include sand and/or bag filter or other types of filters, an ozone treatment section after the filters, a holding tank after the ozone section, a UV treatment section after the holding tank, and a chlorination tank. The water may then be sent to a water storage facility or other place as desired. The system includes a generator for power to run the system, and a controller for the system. The ozone section makes use of a misting nozzle in order to increase ozone contact time, and decrease ozone breakdown. The UV section makes use of a slightly downward tilted table with UV bulbs and reflectors above it, and preferably is mounted on a leveling system. A method of treating water uses the mobile system.

11. A water treatment station, comprising:
-
a UV treatment tray; a leveling system on which the tray is mounted, a relative tilt of the tray being from a water input end to a water output end of the tray, whereby water will flow from the input end to the output end; UV bulbs mounted above the tray extending substantially for a width of the tray and disposed along length of the tray; and reflectors mounted around each UV bulb such that the reflectors cover substantially a length and width of the tray.
