Apparatus for altering characteristics of a fluid
First Claim
1. An apparatus for altering characteristics of a fluid, said apparatus comprising:
- a first canister includinga first perimeter wall defining first internal chamber therein, said first perimeter wall defining a first opening and a second opening therethrough, said first opening constructed for fluid connection to a fluid source;
a second canister includinga second perimeter wall defining a second internal chamber therein, said second perimeter wall defining a first opening and a second opening therethrough, said second canister constructed to be mechanically connected to said first canister, said first and second perimeter walls defining a flow path therethrough from said first opening defined through said first perimeter wall to said second opening defined through said second perimeter wall when said first canister and said second canister are mechanically connected together;
at least one of said first internal chamber and said second internal chamber constructed to contain a beneficial agent therein; and
a beneficial agent disposed in said internal chamber that is constructed to contain the beneficial agent, said beneficial agent being dispersible in a fluid flowing from said first opening of the first canister to said second opening of said second canister.

Abstract
An apparatus for altering characteristics of a fluid. The apparatus includes a first perimeter wall defining an internal chamber therein. The first perimeter wall defines a first opening and a second opening therethrough. The first opening is constructed to be fluidly connected to a fluid source. The internal chamber defined in said first perimeter wall is constructed to contain a beneficial agent therein. A beneficial agent is disposed in the internal chamber defined in the first perimeter wall, the beneficial agent being dispersible in a fluid flowing from the first opening to the second opening through the internal chamber defined in the first perimeter wall.
