Abstract: A water filter assembly with a sensing system coupled to an electrode in a feed water chamber and an electrode in a treated water chamber. A controller receives signals from the feed water and treated water electrodes that are proportional to a water quality parameter in the feed water chamber and the treated water chamber and determines a filter status based on the signals.

Abstract: An appliance includes an appliance wall, a water filtration assembly having a filtration housing mounted to the appliance wall via a manifold, and an electrical connection electrically coupling the water filtration assembly to a power source. The water filtration assembly includes at least one fluid inlet port and at least one fluid outlet port secured to the manifold for receiving fluid from a fluid source. The electrical connection is separate and spaced apart from the manifold. The electrical connection includes at least one first and second electrical contacts. When the first electrical contact(s) contacts the second electrical contact(s), power and/or one or more signals for communication/sensing is provided to the water filtration assembly. Further, the first electrical contact(s) is arranged on the filtration housing to align with the second electrical contact when the filtration housing is mounted to the appliance wall regardless of an orientation of the filtration housing.

Abstract: A water filtration assembly for an appliance is disclosed having a filtration housing, a filtration media block positioned within the filtration housing, and an electromagnetic radiation module having an electromagnetic radiation source positioned within the filtration housing. The electromagnetic radiation source is positioned adjacent to the filtration media block. Further, the filtration media block has a hollow cylindrical configuration defining a radiation passageway. As such, water is configured to enter a water inlet of the filtration housing, travel through one or more walls of the filtration media block for treatment and into the radiation passageway for further treatment by the electromagnetic radiation source, and exit a water outlet of the filtration housing.

Abstract: A free-standing appliance may include a cabinet, a water source, an icemaker, an ice bin, a cold water line, and one or more other features. The icemaker may be mounted within the cabinet downstream from the water source to receive water therefrom. The ice bin may be disposed within the cabinet downstream from the icemaker to receive ice therefrom. The cold water line may be mounted to the cabinet and define a cold water outlet downstream from the water source in fluid isolation from the icemaker.

Abstract: A hydration system for an indoor gardening appliance includes a water supply that provides untreated water into a reverse osmosis filter that filters the water into treated water and wastewater. A wastewater conduit provides fluid communication between a wastewater outlet and a wastewater storage reservoir, and a wastewater valve selectively discharges the wastewater through the wastewater storage reservoir, e.g., when a water quality sensor determines that the total dissolved solids in the treated water exceeds a predetermined threshold.

Abstract: A contaminant measurement system is provided. The system is operable to detect and measure a concentration level of a preselected contaminant, e.g., lead, in water disposed within a chamber of the system. The system includes a detection agent that is operable to interact with the preselected contaminant in the water. The detection agent can be a plurality of polymeric beads or a membrane, for example. The system has a sensing circuit that includes a pair of electrodes spaced from one another and both at least partially disposed in the water. A controller is communicatively coupled with the sensing circuit and is configured to receive one or more electric signals from the sensing circuit. The controller determines a parameter indicative of the concentration level of the preselected contaminant based on the one or more electrical signals. The controller then determines and outputs the concentration level of the preselected contaminant.

Abstract: A passive fluid treatment assembly is provided including a passive treatment body defining a primary flow path and a liquid treatment path. The liquid treatment path bypasses a portion of the primary flow path and enters a treatment enclosure through a high pressure port. The fluid entering the high pressure port is treated by a treatment media in the treatment enclosure and exits through a low pressure port into a mixing chamber where it is remixed with the fluid in the primary flow path. A one-way valve is operably coupled to an outlet of the high pressure port for preventing the flow of treated fluid from exiting the treatment enclosure through the high pressure port.

Abstract: A filter for a non-plumbed appliance is provided. The filter includes a filter housing defining a filter chamber. A filter medium is positioned within the filter chamber, each end of the filter medium being enclosed by an endcap formed from a resilient material, such as molded silicone or a thermoplastic elastomer. The endcaps slide on the ends of the filter media with no need for adhesive and form a fluid seal with both the filter media and the filter housing once installed. One or more fluid bypass channels may be defined by the filter housing or in the endcaps to allow water to flow as desired within the filter chamber. The resulting filter requires fewer components and less assembly time while improving filtration performance and reliability.
