A binary fluid system, and components thereof for producing an impregnated metered fluid stream. Broadly, a container is included in the system and contains upper and lower, first and second fluid phases, i.e., liquids, gases or a combination of the same, which fluid phases meet at a common, unobstructed horizontal boundary or junction, extending the cross sectional width of the container. The fluid phases are of differing density, molecular weight, or specific gravity with the lighter phase being on top. Plural means are coupled to the container for replenishing both of the phases and also for drawing off, at a metered flow rate, the first or upper phase as impregnated by said second phase through diffusion processes across the common phase boundary, the withdrawal being from the container at the volumetric position of the first phase and proximate and above such phase boundary. The invention has special application to recirculating systems as may accommodate swimming pools, by way of example.

A swimming pool water treatment unit comprising: a separator tank, said separator tank provided a tank bottom and having a lower portion containing a first body of treatment material in water solution which has a density greater than water and also an upper portion; a quantity of pool water from an external swimming pool disposed in said upper portion and comprising a second body constituted by said pool water, said first and second bodies meeting in continuous contact at an uninterrupted juncture accommodating migration upwardly across said entire juncture of elements of said first body upwardly into said second body; an inlet line connected to said pool and affixed to and communicating into said upper portion of said tank; means associated with said inlet for controlling the level of water in said separator tank; an adjustable metered outlet from said upper portion of said tank for connection to said external swimming pool; and externally accessible means in lower terminal communication solely with said tank lower portion for non-turbulently delivering the additional placement of a like body of treatment material in water solution directly and solely in said lower portion of said tank.
