Abstract

An apparatus for treatment of water for consumption comprises a main storage tank, a pump, a treatment reactor and a valve for controlling the flow of water from the inlet pump to the treatment reactor and from the reactor to a flush discharge and to a waste water discharge. The tank is basically cylindrical with two part cylindrical recesses parallel to the axis of the tank and lying along one side of the tank. Each recess receives a respective one of the cylindrical pump body and the cylindrical reactor body. The pump and reactor are therefore efficiently stored within the cylindrical surface of the main tank.
