Claims36
A water treatment system comprising:
- a manifold;
- a plurality of water treatment filter housings, fixedly connected to said manifold and having an open end for receiving a plurality of water treatment filter cartridges, wherein said filter cartridges have a first end and a second end;
- a plurality of filter housing inlet and outlet ports disposed between said manifold and said filter housings, wherein said housing outlet ports matably engage said first end of said filter cartridges;
- a plurality of filter housing caps, fixedly attached to said second ends of said filter cartridges and matably engaging said open end of said filter housing when said filter cartridge is placed within said filter housing in order to form a sealed pressure vessel;
- a plurality of control ports in said manifold providing ingress for impure tap water into said manifold, and egress for treated product water and waste water away from said manifold;
- and
- a plurality of fluid flow pathways being defined in said manifold for conveying said tap water to and from said control ports and housing inlet and outlet ports, and for conveying treated water to and from said various filter housings within said system;
A filter cartridge for use in a water treatment system, said cartridge comprising:
- a filter media portion, having a first end and a second end;
- a fluid seal connector fixedly attached to said first end of said filter media portion;
- and
- a filter housing cap fixedly connected to said second end of said filter media portion.
A filter cartridge for use in a water treatment system, said cartridge comprising:
- a filter media portion, having a first end and a second end;
- a fluid seal connector fixedly attached to said first end of said filter media portion;
- and
- a filter housing cap connected to said second end of said filter media portion,
- wherein said cap includes at least one sidewall connected thereto which extends from said cap in the direction of said filter media portion.
A water storage tank system for use with a water treatment system comprising:
- a tank for storing treated water;
- at least one tank fluid flow port disposed in said tank to provide ingress and egress of said treated water into and out of said tank, and wherein said tank fluid flow port is connected to a fluid flow control port of said water treating system;
