[57] ABSTRACT
A water purification arrangement which uses as the water treating agent ionized oxygen allotrope gas in multiple (multivalent) ion charge forms (as distinguished from common chemical treatment substances), in which the raw material for practicing the invention is ambient atmospheric air, and specifically its atmospheric oxygen content. The arrangement provided has a gas flow path having multivalent oxygen ion allotrope forming sites that each include a magnetic flux field energy zone within the ambient air flow path characterized by interacting multi-polar magnets that exert flux fields across the flow path, and one or more elongate oxygen photolysis lamps enveloping the flux with ultraviolet light wave length ionizing electronvolt radiant energy emissions. The ambient atmospheric air is passed in a continuous flow through the flow path and then is conveyed to and is interspersed in the water to be treated in a continuous flow application.
