Abstract
Illustrative configurations of a pet hydration system and methods are disclosed. The pet hydration system includes a bowl section configured to temporarily store water therein. In one configuration, a hydrogen-generation assembly is positioned in the bowl section. The hydrogen-generation assembly generates and introduces hydrogen into the water temporarily stored in the bowl section. In other configurations, methods related to pet hydration are also disclosed.
Claims16
A pet hydration system comprising:
- a reservoir configured to supply water;
- a gravity-fed chute fluidically coupled with the reservoir, the gravity-fed chute defining a first cross-sectional area;
- a bowl fluidically coupled to the reservoir by the gravity-fed chute;
- an enlarged area formed in the gravity-fed chute between the reservoir and the bowl, the enlarged area defining:
- a second cross-sectional area that is greater than the first cross-sectional area;
- and
- a cartridge slot formed in the enlarged area;
- and
- a filter cartridge removably adjoining the enlarged area and slidingly engaged with the cartridge slot, wherein water communicates from the reservoir through the filter cartridge and into the bowl.
