As shown in Figure 1, a water treatment apparatus installed at both surfaces of a water pipe according to an embodiment of the present invention includes left and right casings 20 and 30 that have contact surfaces 21 and 31 contacting with a water pipe 50 and are installed at both sides of the water pipe, and a plurality of permanent magnets 40 fixed in the interiors of the left and right casings 20 and 30.
As shown in Figure 2, the contact surfaces 21 and 31 contacting with the water pipe 50 have slipping prevention shoulders for thereby preventing the
circular water pipe 50 from being slipped and stably fixing the same.
As shown in Figures 2 and 3, magnet fixtures 22 and 32 are installed in the interiors of the left and right casings for supporting the permanent magnets.
The permanent magnets 40 are installed at the magnet fixtures 22 and 32. The permanent magnets 40 engaged at the left and right casings are designed and arranged to have opposite polarities. Namely, the N-pole of the permanent magnet engaged at one side of the casing is arranged to face the contact surface, and the S-pole of the permanent magnet engaged to the other casing is arranged to face the contact surface. Therefore, the water flowing through the water pipe 50 passing through the contact surfaces 21 and31 is magnetized by magnetic force, far infrared ray, and wave energy of propolis, and the structures of water molecular generate rotation, resonance and elongation and contraction phenomenon for thereby decomposing water structures and changing into micro particles.
The engaging protrusions 23 and 23'and engaging grooves 24 and 24' are matched for engaging the left and right casings at one side of the contact surfaces of the left and right casing. Therefore, the engaging protrusions 23 and 23'formed at the casing of one side are engaged with the engaging grooves 24 and 24'formed at the casing of the other side based on the magnetic forces of the opposite permanent magnets. The engaging protrusions 23 and 23'cannot be easily disengaged from the engaging grooves 24 and 24'.
Fixing bolts 25 and 25'may be provided at the casing of one side like the
external installation type water treatment apparatus according to another embodiment of the present invention of Figures 4 and 5, and fixing nuts 26 and 26'are provided at the casing of the other side, so that the left and right casings are engaged by engaging the fixing bolts 25 and 25'and the fixing nuts 26 and 26'.
The left and right casings 20 and 30 are fabricated using propolis powder of 1 through 10 weight%, EM-X ceramic of 2 through 11 weight%, and synthetic resin of 97 through 88 weight% with respect to the whole mixture weight, and the mixture is liquefied at a temperature of about 100 through300 C.
Generally, propolis is a resin material extracted from various plants. The components of propolis are natural anti-biotic substances formed of resin of 50%, beeswax of 30%, oily component such as essential oil, etc. , of 10%, pollen of 5%, and organic and mineral substances of 5%. Propolis has a function of inhibiting protein composition by Bacillus Subtilis, Staphylococcus, Trichophyton, Colon Bacillus, Trichomonas, Salmonella, etc. , so that propolis has an excellent antibiotic function. Cell membranes are enhanced, and operations of cells are activated. In addition, propolis has an anti-allergy function, labor pain function, bleeding stop function, antiphlogistic function, and immunity function of living body for thereby inhibiting activation oxygen.
There may be some differences based on the kinds of plants as a result of analysis using MRA with respect to propolis, but the following wave values of Table 1 are obtained.
Table 1
EMI10.1
At this time, the measured value ranges of the wave analysis values are 43 levels from +21 to-21. When the value is +21, the resonance is 100%, and when the value is 0, the resonance is 50%, and when the value is-21, the resonance is 0%.
Propolis added for fabricating the casing of the present invention is inputted by the amount of 1 through 10 weight% with respect to the whole weight of the powder. At this time, when the added amount of propolis is below 1 weight%, the antibiotic function and anti-virus function of propolis may be decreased. When the added amount of propolis is above 10 weight%, the amount of the synthetic resin added is decreased, so that the hardness of the casing is increased when fabricating the left and right casings of the water treatment apparatus of the present invention, whereby it may be easily broken.
The EM-X ceramic of the present invention is fabricated in such a
manner that EM (Effective Microorganism) capable of inhibiting harmful microorganism and activating useful microorganism is mixed with mineral powder and yellow earth and is heated at a high temperature for example 600 through1200 C. The EM-X ceramic maintains an anti-oxidation property that is an inherent function of EM, and a far infrared ray emission function that is a property of mineral powder and yellow earth.
Thethusly fabricated EM-X ceramic is ground with 100 through 1000 mesh and is added by the amount of 2 through 11 weight% with respect to the whole weight. At this time, when the added amount of the EM-X ceramic is below 2 weight%, the anti-oxidation function and far infrared ray emission function of the EM-X ceramic may be decreased. When the added amount of the EM-X ceramic is above 11 weight%, the added amount of the synthetic resin is decreased, so that the hardness of the casing is increased, and the casing can be easily broken when fabricating the left and right casings of the present invention.
In addition, the synthetic resin of the present invention may be PVC, PE, PP, ABS, PA, PET, etc. Most preferably, the synthetic resin is ABS.
The synthetic resin is added by the amount of 97 through 88 weight% with respect to the whole weight. At this time, when the added amount of the synthetic resin is below 88 weight%, the mixed amount of propolis and EM-X ceramic is relatively increased, so that the hardness of the casing is increased, and the casing may be easily broken when fabricating the left and right casings
of the present invention. When the added amount of the synthetic resin is above 97 weight%, the properties of propolis and EM-X ceramic are decreased.
Thereafter, the mixture of propolis, EM-X ceramic powder, and synthetic resin is liquefied at a temperature of about 100 through300 C and is molded to fabricate a certain casing.
After the casings are fabricated using the synthetic resin, a mixture of propolis of 5 through 20 weight%, EM-X ceramic of 100 through 1000 mesh of 5 through 20 weight%, paint of 90 through 75 weight% such as epoxy with respect to the whole weight is sprayed on or precipitates the permanent magnets, magnet fixtures, etc. installed in the interior of the casings. At this time, when the added amount of paint is above 90 weight%, the properties of propolis and EM-X ceramic are decreased. When the added amount of paint is below 75 weight%, the added amount of propolis and EM-X ceramic is increased, so that it is not economical.
The casings are molded by mixing propolis, EM-X ceramic and synthetic resin in the above-described methods, and a mixture of propolis and EM-X ceramic is coated on or precipitates the magnets and magnet fixtures provided in the interior of the casings for thereby enhancing the performances of the casings.

As shown in Figure 9, far infrared rays were detected from the whole portions of the casings fabricated using propolis, EM-X ceramic powder, and synthetic resin. In addition, as seen in Table 2, it was checked that the emission ratios of 0.893 and the energy emission of 3.44X102 were obtained in the casings.
Example 2: Antibiotic tests
The casings of the water treatment apparatus were divided into test pieces of 4cmx4cm and were sterilized. Escherichia coli ATCC 25922 and Pseudominas aeruginosa ATCC 15442 were mixed and cultivated on the test pieces for 24 hours. A result of the cultivation is shown in Table 3.
