Abstract:
A filter device comprises a first filter mechanism and a second filter mechanism, the first filter mechanism is connected to the second filter mechanism, wherein the first filter is configured to filter disinfectants, impurities, and organic matters in water, and the second filter is configured to filter germs in the water. A faucet water purifier comprises above filter device.
Abstract:
A backwash filtration system comprising a backwash discharge port, a sedimentation collection and separation system, and a final filtration chamber. The backwash discharge port is coupled with a pool filter system and is configured to pass backwashed water from the pool filter system to the sedimentation collection and separation system. The sedimentation collection and separation system has a plurality of sedimentation chambers that are vertically stacked and a plurality of baffles configured to reduce the migration of sediment within the sedimentation chambers. A path for water flow passes down sequentially through each of the sedimentation chambers. The final filtration chamber receives the backwashed water from the sedimentation collection and separation system, filters the backwashed water through a final filtration medium, and passes the filtered water to a water return line of the pool filter system or to a pool of water.
Abstract:
A head for a water filter system having a filter element including a three-way valve member movable between a first position, a second position, and a third position. When the valve member is in the first position, incoming water is directed to the filter element to remove sediment and impurities from the water. When the valve member is in the second position, the incoming water is blocked from passing through the filter element and the valve member. Lastly, when the valve member is in the third position, the incoming water passes through the valve member and not the filter element so that the filter element can be removed and replaced without interrupting the incoming water flow.
Abstract:
A water distribution system having a dual use water treatment unit. The same water treatment unit can be used to treat water supplied from a fill port to a storage tank during a fill operation, as well as water leaving the storage tank for supply to one or more points of water use during a supply operation. When a diverter valve is in a fill position, water supplied to the fill port can flow through the diverter valve and to the water treatment unit for treatment then to the storage tank for storage. When the diverter valve is in a supply position, the water from the storage tank can be delivered using means for pressurizing water to the same treatment unit for treatment, then through the diverter valve and to a point of water use device.
Abstract:
A modular filter system using replaceable filter cartridges includes a locking arrangement that prevents rotation of the flow control valve spindle in the filter head, but includes an unlocking arrangement on the cartridge that unlocks the locking arrangement if the proper replacement cartridge is used. The locking arrangement may include spring biased locking pins carried on the filter head and matching unlocking pins on the filter cartridge to operate through an intermediate adaptor ring that is set on assembly to match the positions of the locking and unlocking pins.
Abstract:
Reverse osmosis filtration systems that are self contained and easily converted from above the counter use to below the counter use. The systems feature a simple construction, including a two piece manifold assembly to which filters, including a reverse osmosis filter, a product water storage tank and a control valve connect, all without separate fasteners. The manifold assembly provides all water connections within the system, and includes connections to connect to a water supply, a drain, two dispensers and to an auxiliary water storage tank. The system pressurizes squeeze water for product water dispensing, providing maximum efficiency, maximum storage capacity for a given tank size and maximum pressure for dispensing product water. Various embodiments are disclosed.
Abstract:
A filter device includes four couplers attached to four sides, and a casing attached to bottom. A filtering material receptacle may be attached to the casing for filtering the water. A valve member is rotatably received in the housing, and includes six openings and four spaces and to communicate the openings of the valve member with each other, and includes two passageways for communicating with two openings of the valve member. The filtering material may be flushed with the water, and may be forced to change ion or to be cleaned with cleansing agent simply by rotating the valve member relative to the housing.
Abstract:
A fluid containing system, as in a filter, for toxic or hazardous fluids is provided with rotatable base seals that can be alternatively positioned to permit the flow of fluids from the filter supply line, passing through the filter or, alternatively, the filter supply line can be sealed shut to prevent fluid leakage when the filter is removed. A third filter seal position is provided, wherein a cleaning fluid, for example compressed air, can be supplied to the filter in order to remove excess fluid from the filter prior to removal. An alternative embodiment permits removal of the filter and sealing of the supply line by rotating the filter and seal assembly about the supply line access to save space or to facilitate changing the filter. The fluid containing system can also function as a fluid sampler, or to add materials to the fluid system.
