Abstract:
A water filter apparatus for use in filtering particles out of a water supply is provided. The apparatus comprises a multiple layered mesh type filter housing having a top proximal end and a bottom distal end, wherein the top proximal end comprising dual projected passageways adapted to be connected with an upstream water supply and for the addition of the soap powder, solution and detergent to the upstream water prior to the filtration process, The cup or cone shaped funnel is attached, either at the side or at the top of the said top proximal end of the purifier as shown in figs. The funnel act as the passage for detergent or soap powder, mixed inside the purifier before entering the filter. The device enables the mixing of the soap powder or detergent with the upstream water prior to the process of filtration executed by the mesh arrangement. The water and soap powder combination provided in the form a powder solution is in-let into the mesh arrangement for filtration which avoids the formation of scaling in the washing machine and the formation of the white patches in the washed clothes. The filtering device comprises at least six filtering meshes of varied micron sizes sandwiched between the top proximal end and the bottom distal end. The meshes are arranged in such a fashion as to comprise the larger micron sized mesh closer to the top proximal end with correspondingly decreasing micron sized meshes to the bottom distal end. The more important aspect of the invention being that the water purifier is capable of cleaning the filter and cartridge through backwash or reverse wash process by connecting the said purifier arrangement in the upside down position to the said tap water inlet.

The tubular member may further include a second end portion (61), with the second end portion being located at an end of the tubular member opposite the first end portion. The tubular member may also include at least one outlet aperture (68), at least one inlet aperture (74), and a vent tube (88) extending longitudinally between the first end portion and the second end portion. The vent tube may be configured to provide flow communication between the first end portion and the second end portion of the tubular member.

A filter element (16) may include a tubular member (46) including an end portion (60) at least partially defining an inlet port (62) configured to provide flow communication to a filter medium (48) of the filter element, and at least partially defining an outlet port (64) configured to provide flow communication from the filter medium. The filter element may further include a filter medium associated with the tubular element, and an end cap (50) associated with the end portion of the tubular member and the filter medium. The end cap may include a plate (142) transverse to the longitudinal axis ( X ) of the tubular member, and a sealing wall (146) coupled to the plate and extending transverse to the plate. The sealing wall may include a seal portion (148) configured to be compressed between a filter canister (14) and a portion of a filter base (12) to provide a seal between the filter canister and the portion of the filter base.
Abstract:
A filter element (16) may include a tubular member (46) including a partition (54) at least partially defining first and second chambers (56, 58). The partition may be configured to prevent flow communication between the first and second chambers within the tubular member. The tubular member may further include an inlet port (62) configured to provide flow communication into the first chamber, and an outlet port (64) configured to provide flow communication from the second chamber. The tubular member may also include at least one outlet aperture (66) configured to provide flow communication out of the first chamber, and at least one inlet aperture (72) configured to provide flow communication into the second chamber. The filter element may also include a filter medium (48) associated with the at least one outlet and inlet apertures. The filter element may be configured such that fluid passing through the filter element passes through both the first chamber and the second chamber.

Abstract:
The invention relates to a filter unit for treating water, comprising a first plate-shaped filter element (30) and at least one second plate-shaped filter element (30). The first and second filter elements (30) are mutually spaced from each other and define an intermediate space. Each of the first and second filter elements (30) extends, with reference to a Cartesian coordinate system, along a first spatial axis to a considerably lesser extent than along the two remaining spatial axes such that the element has a layer thickness (?). Flow can take place through the first and second filter elements (30) along a path that corresponds to the layer thickness.
