Abstract:
A device (1) for purification of water driven by gravity through a purification unit between an upper dirt water container (2) and a lower clean water tank (3). A backwash system may be integrated, the system comprising a receptacle (8) for accumulation of the backwash water to prevent consumption thereof by mistake.
Abstract:
A well (18) is mounted on an extension (12) of a brine tank (10) in a water softener system. The extension (12) can be molded integrally with the brine tank (10), or separate from the brine tank (10) and mounted thereto by fasteners (24). The extension (12) extends above the horizontal plane (14) at the upper edge (16) of the brine tank (10) and the well (18) is mounted to the extension (12) above the horizontal plane (14). A riser (20) is mounted to the extension (12) for external connection and extends into the well (18). All necessary connections to components in the well (18) are made through the extension (12) above the horizontal plane (14) so that no passages need be made through the wall (22) of the brine tank (10). Also, the upper end of the well (18) is above the horizontal plane (14) to facilitate servicing.
Abstract:
The present invention provides a water purifier, the water purification capability of which can be maintained over a long period of time. The water purifier 1 has: an attachment main body 10 that has an inflow passage P11, into which tap water flows from an inlet 11, and outflow passages P12 and P13 communicating with outlets 12 and 13; and a water purification main body 20 that has a first flow passage P21, a second flow passage P22, a third flow passage P23, a first filter material 25 between the first flow passage P21 and the second flow passage P22, and a second filter material 26 between the third flow passage P23 and the second flow passage P22 and is rotatably mounted onto the attachment main body 10. During a parallel filter material mode, the first flow passage P21 and the third flow passage P23 communicate with the inflow passage P11 and the second flow passage P22 communicates with the outflow passage P12. During a serial filter material mode, the third flow passage P23 or the first flow passage P21 communicates with the inflow passage P11 and the first flow passage P21 or the third flow passage P23 communicates with the outflow passage P13.
Abstract:
Systems, devices, and methods of filtering water include a dome shaped lid and middle disk to separate filtration media materials. The domed shaped lid eliminates air locks in the filter media that can slow or stop the filtration process. A flow control output port regulates the flow level and flow speed of the filtered water. An angled flow output port improves flow by accelerating flow at an angled bottom section of the filter. Water permeable filter bag materials house the filter media. An additional washing process improves the taste of the filtered water. A color change resin in the mixed bed resin indicates expiration of the filter. Similarly, a filter expiration indicator assists users in determining when a filter should be replaced. An integrated TDS meter is used for testing the filtered water. The devices can be used individually or in combination to provide performance improvements.
Abstract:
A washing method of a water treatment apparatus is provided. The washing method includes a wash water inflow operation in which wash water flows into circulation members, and a circulation washing operation in which a circulation modulation circulates the wash water through passages of the water treatment apparatus.
Abstract:
A washing device for a water treatment apparatus is provided. The washing device includes circulation members connected to passages of the water treatment apparatus to circulate wash water through the passages of the water treatment apparatus, a circulation module connected to the circulation members for circulating the wash water through the passages of the water treatment apparatus, with the circulation members thereby washing the passages of the water treatment apparatus, a drainpipe connected to the circulation members, a passage switching unit connected to a portion where the circulation members are coupled to the drainpipe to switch passage of the wash water, and a circulation pump connected to the circulation members to selectively circulate the wash water in the connection pipes through the drainpipe or the passages of the water treatment apparatus.
Abstract:
A system for limiting the flow from a dispensing valve when a dispensing cartridge is replaced with the system including a dispenser cartridge with a cam and a water socket with a flow limiter therein that is activeable in response to the position of the dispenser cartridge in the dispensing valve and operable in response to an upstream fluid pressure in the dispensing valve.
Abstract:
An ozone faucet switching structure includes a faucet body, a connecting member connected with the faucet body, an aerator mounted in the connecting member, and a control sleeve mounted on the connecting member. The faucet body has a water outlet pipe which is provided with a conduit which is externally connected with an ozone device. Thus, the control sleeve is movable on the connecting member to stop supply of the ozone when not in use to prevent the ozone from being mixed with the drinking water.
Abstract:
The present disclosure relates generally to methods, devices and systems that treat multiple modes of fouling throughout water systems. More specifically, the present disclosure comprises an electrochemical reaction tank that treats fouling due to, for example, corrosion, scale formation, microbial growth and/or particulate build-up in water.
Abstract:
Described are water-on-water valves for use in reverse osmosis filtration systems. The water-on-water valves are regulated by the pressure in a product line, which contains fluid from a product line of the filter module and/or the product side of a water-on-water storage tank. Exemplary valves are shuttle valves that are regulated by the pressure downstream of the product side of a reverse osmosis filter module. The valves may comprise a piston within a housing, and an end of the piston may have an enlarged diameter relative to the maximum diameter of the remainder of the piston. The body of the piston may have sections of differing diameters, where the smaller diameter sections form flow channels, or the body may a diameter that is substantially the same along its length in conjunction with gratings and flow channels.
