Abstract
A water processor is provided for processing or conditioning water to be distributed downstream of the water processor. The water processor includes a housing having an inlet and an outlet opposite the inlet. The water processor includes a conditioning element disposed inside of the housing between the inlet and outlet. The conditioning element includes a plurality of plates having apertures with sharp edges to direct the flow of water and facilitate splitting of small gas bubbles into even smaller nano-bubbles. The plurality of plates include a first plate having a first configuration of apertures and a second plate having a second configuration of apertures. The first and second plates are disposed in alternating spaced arrangement along the longitudinal axis of the housing. The second configuration is different from the first configuration such that the flow path through the water processor is circuitous or substantially indirect.
