Abstract
The apparatus for filtering and dispensing drinking water is disclosed which includes a container having an interior space with a dividing wall defining a first chamber for receiving unfiltered water and a second chamber for storing filtered drinking water, wherein a passage is formed through the interior wall adjacent a bottom surface of the container to provide fluid communication between the first and second chambers, and wherein at least one multi-layered filter pack is disposed across the passage to filter water flowing from the first chamber to the second chamber under force of gravity.
Claims15
The apparatus for filtering and dispensing drinking water comprising:
- a container having an interior space with a dividing wall defining a first chamber for receiving unfiltered water and a second chamber for storing filtered drinking water, wherein a passage is formed through the dividing wall adjacent a bottom surface of the container to provide fluid communication between the first chamber and the second chambers, and wherein at least one removable multi-layered filter pack is disposed across the passage to filter water flowing from the first chamber to the second chamber under force of gravity;
- and
- a pre-filter seated in a well formed above the first chamber for removing relatively large particulates from the water introduced into the first chamber upstream from the at least one removable multi-layered filter pack.
