Devices, methods and systems for at least priming water filters are disclosed. In one or more embodiments, a device includes a barrel portion, a first opening, a handle portion, a second opening, and a bottom surface for engaging objects of various shapes and sizes, wherein at least a portion of the device is able to be rolled back onto itself at least once by a user. In one or more embodiments, a system includes: a device, a water filter and a faucet. In one or more embodiments, a method for using a device includes: operably attaching a water filter to the device, operably attaching the device to a faucet, applying water pressure from the faucet in order to prime the water filter, and observing the effects of water pressure on the device.

A coupling device for connecting a water powered apparatus to a faucet having a mouth (1) to which a cylindrical aerator housing (3), has an aerator (2) and an attachment (4) of water powered apparatus. The aerator (2) has an upper cylindrical portion (12) and a lower cylindrical portion (15) that are joined together by converging arms (14) between which the ventilation openings (16) are formed for aerating flowing water. The attachment (4) of water powered apparatus is provided with connecting elements for coupling with engagement elements not integral with the aerator cylindrical housing (3).

A coupling device is provided for mounting onto a faucet having an externally threaded portion terminating in a free end. The device includes a pair clam-shell shaped members pivotably connected to each other to form a housing enclosing a tubular connector member having a connector at one end for connection to a hose. A pair of opposed shoes, a washer and a pressure applying member are located within the housing. An actuator lever is coupled to the clam-shells to pivot them with respect to each other into various positions. In one position the shoes are brought into engagement with the externally threaded end portion to mount the coupling device on the faucet. In another position the pressure applying member moves the tubular connector member into engagement with the washer to compress the washer between it and the free end surface of the faucet to couple the faucet to it in a fluid-tight interface.

A portable dispensing system for dispensing a solution of a fluid and a solid product includes a fluid line, a dispenser, and a cartridge. The fluid line includes a first and second fluid line ends and a fluid source connection at the first fluid line end. The dispenser is at the second fluid line end. The dispenser includes a body and a fluid outlet. The cartridge houses the solid product and includes a fluid inlet and a solution outlet. The cartridge is removably connected at the fluid inlet to the fluid outlet of the dispenser. The cartridge is configured to receive fluid from the fluid outlet of the dispenser such that fluid contacts the solid product housed in the cartridge and dissolves at least a portion of the solid product forming the solution. The cartridge is also configured to output the solution at the solution outlet.
