Filtered pitcher and drinking vessel

A vessel comprising:

• a pre-filtered liquid area configured to receive an unfiltered liquid;
• a compressible portion defining at least in part a filtered liquid storage area, compressing the compressible portion into a compressed state and subsequently allowing the compressible portion to return to an uncompressed state temporarily creating suction in the filtered liquid storage area as the compressible portion returns to the uncompressed state;
• a conduit between the pre-filtered liquid area and the filtered liquid storage area;
• and
• a filter member positioned to filter the unfiltered liquid as the unfiltered liquid is sucked from the pre-filtered liquid area into the filtered liquid storage area through the conduit by the suction temporarily created in the filtered liquid storage area, the filter member filtering the unfiltered liquid as the unfiltered liquid is sucked through the filter member to produce a processed liquid comprising at least one of filtered liquid and purified liquid.

• a pre-filtered liquid area positioned above the filtered liquid storage area, the pre-filtered liquid area being configured to receive an unfiltered liquid;
• and
• a filter member separating the pre-filtered liquid area from the filtered liquid storage area, the filter member allowing the unfiltered liquid to be sucked therethrough by the suction temporarily created in the filtered liquid storage area, the filter member filtering the unfiltered liquid as the unfiltered liquid is sucked through the filter member to produce a processed liquid comprising at least one of filtered liquid and purified liquid.
