Pressurization System for Portable Water Filters

A method of pressurization to assist in filtering water, the method comprising the steps of:

• a) using a housing:
• i. the housing defining an inlet connection the inlet connection in fluid connection to an inner void, the inner void defined by the housing, the inner void in fluid connection with a supply valve;
• ii. the housing further defining a circular or similarly shaped bulb retaining groove;
• iii. the bulb retaining groove defining an interior area upon the housing;
• iv. the housing further defining a return air void, the return air void having a first end opening within the retaining groove interior area and the first end opening in fluid connection with a return air valve, the return air void having a second opening in fluid connection with ambient air;
• v. a pump bulb in elastic or frictional attachment to the bulb retaining groove;
• vi. the inner void in fluid connection with an outlet connection, the outlet connection defined by the housing;
• b) compressing the pump bulb to move air from the interior of the pump bulb to open the supply valve allowing the air from the pump bulb to move into the inner void, further causing the air from the pump bulb void to float upwardly through water contained within a water bottle, the water bottle attached to the inlet connection, the air from the pump bulb rising to the upper end of the water bottle, adding pressure to the water in the water bottle causing an increase in water pressure to water disposed over a water filter, the water filter attached to the outlet connection of the housing, the water moving through the water filter and exiting the water filter.

• a) the housing defining an inlet connection the inlet connection in fluid connection to an inner void, the inner void defined by the housing, the inner void in fluid connection with a supply valve;
• b) the housing further defining a circular or similarly shaped bulb retaining groove;
• c) the bulb retaining groove defining an area upon the housing;
• d) the housing further defining a return air void, the return air void having a first end opening within the retaining groove area and the first end opening in fluid connection with a return air valve, the return air void having a second opening in fluid connection with ambient air;
• e) a pump bulb in elastic or frictional attachment to the bulb retaining groove;
• and
• f) the inner void in fluid connection with an outlet connection, the outlet connection defined by the housing.
