The specific advantages and novel features of this invention lies in the bottom container which has a copper plating and which copper plating performs various functions such as leaching Copper to the purified water. The copper plating means that the copper can be plated onto the inner surface of the bottom container or it can be a inner container fitted into the bottom container thereby ensuring that all the purified water is in contact with copper surface only.

As per the description above the invention teaches and discloses a stainless steel duo gravity Water purifier- Bottom container is of stainless steel material and copper plating is done at inner side. The description as disclosed includes the flexibility of having copper plating thickness which can be calculated on the dependence of the requirement. Typically the design also gives further flexibility of a double container system wherein the top container may be made of any food grade material such as food grade plastic. The invention also teaches the arrangement of a float and its attachment to the containers – the bottom container or the top container which acts as a cut off of the flow of water between the containers, thereby cutting off the supply from the top container into the bottom container when the bottom container is filled with purified water to a predetermined level. As envisaged by the description it is obvious that the containers may be of different material but the bottom container shall have the copper plating which provides the unique health benefits.

WORKING PRINCIPLE OF THE INVENTION:

The conventional (stainless steel) duo gravity Water purifier with Copper plating consists of the top container assembly and bottom container assembly. The top container assembly may be stainless steel container or a plastic container. It has a top cover which covers the top of the top container and it is of plastic material or stainless steel or any other material of food grade. The pre filter is flitted onto the top cover. Typically the Pre filter may be made up of replaceable cloth which performs the function of collecting the dust particles and fine particles from the raw water poured from outside source into the top container. The top cover cap is disposed on the top of the pre filter which will cover the pre filter. The cartridge with vent pipe is press fitted on the top container. The cartridge will purify the raw water flowing from the pre filter into the top container thereby purifying the flow water. By gravity the water drops from the top container into the bottom container, both containers having matching openings for free flow of water from top container to bottom container and which flowing water drops through the float positioned in the bottom container. The float acts as water level checker and closes the opening between the top container and bottom container at a predetermined level thereby avoiding spillage.

The float may also be fixed onto the top container. It performs the role of auto cut off, once the water is filled in the bottom container the float moves up and stops the water flowing to the bottom container.
