A fuel filter for a fuel system includes a cylindrical frame having a pair of circular openings at longitudinal ends of the frame and a filter membrane, with the frame including a circumferential wall having an aperture and the filter membrane being disposed about an outwardly facing side of the wall and over the aperture. The frame includes tabs, such as deformable tabs, disposed adjacent at the openings for retaining the filter membrane on the frame, and the filter membrane overlaps itself when circumferentially disposed about the wall.

A laundry appliance includes a cabinet, a tub, and a pump for recirculating wash fluid from the tub to a filter container. The filter container includes a fluid inlet in fluid communication with the pump and fluid outlet in fluid communication with the tub. The filter container also includes a filter housing for directing wash fluid from the fluid inlet to the fluid outlet. A self-clearing filter assembly is provided within the filter housing. The self-clearing filter includes side walls and a filter base having at least one inclined surface. The self-clearing filter is situated such that the inclined surface is below the fluid inlet. The self-clearing filter prevents microfibers and other debris from passing through to the outlet of the filter container. Simultaneously, the force of the wash fluid on the inclined surface forces the microfibers and other debris to a trough, where it can be collected and disposed of.

A secondary pool filter device; the secondary pool filter device includes a secondary filter configured to fit over and removably attach to a return jet of a swimming pool and provide secondary filtration for swimming pools. The secondary filter includes a filter pad and a filter sleeve. The filter pad encases a mesh screen and includes a plurality of layers of filtering material. The filter sleeve includes an open end, a closed end, and a cinch tie for removably securing the secondary filter to a return jet. The open end is configured to receive the filter pad for hosting the filter pad within the filter sleeve. The secondary pool filter device helps maintain cleaner water in swimming pools.

Provided are a water purifying apparatus and a refrigerator including the same. The water purifying apparatus includes a filter configured to purify incoming water and discharge the purified water, a head in which the filter is detachably coupled and a water inlet portion and a water outlet portion are formed, and a shaft provided inside the head and rotatably mounted between the water inlet portion and the water outlet portion, the shaft being provided with a bypass flow path directly connecting the water inlet portion and the water outlet portion and a filtering flow path connected so that water flowing in through the water inlet portion is discharged to the water outlet portion via the filter.

A water circuit assembly for a refrigerator that delivers water from a source to a first destination and a second destination spaced apart from the first destination. The water circuit assembly includes an inlet valve positioned outside a compartment of the refrigerator and a water filter assembly positioned adjacent a top wall and a first side wall of a liner that defines the compartment. The water circuit further includes a bracket secured to a rear wall of the liner, a water tank supported by the bracket along the rear wall of the liner, and a diverter valve attached to the bracket and fluidly connected to the inlet valve to thereby divert the flow of water from the inlet valve to a selected one of the first destination or the second destination.

A garment care apparatus comprises: a main body including a garment care room formed therein, the garment care room having a front side opened; and a filter installable in the main body to collect dust included in the air in the garment care space, wherein the filter comprises a bending guide formed by cutting away parts of the filter, and the cut parts and uncut parts of the filter make the filter bendable.
