A cavitation assembly for purification of drinking water includes a generally cylindrically-shaped open-ended tube for flow of water therethrough, the tube comprising a transducer for converting electrical energy to acoustic energy and transmitting ultrasound through the water in the tube to induce cavitation in the water in the tube. A water moving means flows the water through the tube, and an electrical power source provides electrical power to the tube. The cavitation inactivates microorganisms in the water.

Why it's free to use
- Filed March 11, 2003. No grant is recorded for it in Canada; had it been granted, its 20-year term would have ended March 11, 2023.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by March 11, 2025.
- We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
