Water filtering and dispensing system and system for filtering, storing, delivering, and testing water

A system for filtering and testing water, comprising:

• a water filtering system including:
• a container having a first region adapted to store unfiltered water, a second region below the first region and adapted to store filtered water, and a spout region extending from the second region through a flow opening in a reservoir in the first region and adapted to dispense filtered water from the second region;
• a meter housing adapted to receive a water purity meter;
• the reservoir disposed within the first region of the container, the reservoir including a water compartment and the flow opening;
• a lid with a flange skirt coupled to an upper edge portion of the reservoir that seals the water compartment of the reservoir preventing unfiltered water from flowing out of the reservoir;
• a utility compartment;
• a filter disposed within the second region of the container and coupled to the reservoir, the filter being adapted to filter water flowing from the reservoir into the second region of the container and to regulate the flow of filtered water accumulated in the second region preventing overflow of the filtered water through the flow opening of the reservoir;
• a valve assembly disposed at an opposing side of the container from the spout region and at a terminal end of a handle assembly in the second region of the container, the valve assembly including a filtered water outlet adapted to dispense filtered water from the second region of the container and the valve assembly positioned in a bottom portion of the second region of the container to dispense the filtered water through the filtered water outlet without moving the water dispensing system while the unfiltered water flows through the filter;
• and
• a water purity meter disposed within the meter housing for testing a quality of an effluent of the filter to determine a filtering efficiency of the filter.
