Abstract
A water-dispensing appliance and a water filtration assembly are provided. The water filtration assembly includes a housing having an inner surface adjacent to a housing internal volume, a fluid inlet opening, a fluid outlet opening, and a distal end. The water filtration assembly includes a filtration media structure positioned at the housing internal volume in serial fluid flow arrangement between the fluid inlet opening and the fluid outlet opening. The filtration media structure includes a polymer hydrogel having a water-permeable cross-linked hydrophilic polymer network.
