A sanitation device for cleaning a body of water in an immersion pool of a mikvah has a housing, a driving member and a bypass passageway. The housing includes an inlet, an outlet and internal liquid passages that communicate between the inlet and outlet. The driving member is arranged to urge flow of liquid through the internal liquid passages by exerting thrust upon liquid flowing through the driving member, wherein at least part of the liquid flowing through the liquid passages bypasses flowing through the driving member by flowing through the bypass passageway towards the device's outlet.

A low-profile, large diameter, oval shaped, modular, inside out flow in-tank filter assembly includes at least one filter element having spaced first and second identical endcaps each with a central opening there through and filter media extending between the endcaps. The filter assembly includes a tank bushing coupled to the central opening of one endcap of at least one filter element on one end of the assembly, wherein the tank bushing is configured to mount the inside out flow in-tank filter assembly to a return line within a reservoir. The filter assembly includes a bypass valve coupled to the central opening of one endcap of at least one filter element on one end of the assembly, wherein the bypass valve is configured to allow flow to selectively bypass the filter media of each filter element. Further, each endcap includes a universal alignment and coupling structure around the central opening.

A filter assembly for filtering water in spas, swimming pools, hot tubs and whirlpools, having a first or outer filter element, a second or inner filter element removably installed within the outer filter element, a first coupling member associated with the outer filter element, a second coupling member associated with the inner filter element, the first and second coupling members engaging one another to connect the inner filter element with the outer filter element, and a releasable detent arrangement resisting disengagement of the first and second coupling members from one another. The outer filter element includes a filter medium for mechanically removing particulates from a fluid to be treated and the inner filter element includes a filter medium containing fluid purifying particles.

A cartridge group is for a filter assembly of a fuel filtration system. The cartridge group extends along an axis and includes a filter septum crossable in an axial direction by the fuel. The filter septum has an annular shape and defines at the axis a central cavity. A water separation and support device supporting the filter septum includes: i) a base element supporting the filter septum and presenting channels and/or holes through which the filtered fuel flows; ii) a tubular element extending into the central cavity presenting an outlet duct having a substantially annular cross-section delimited by an outer circumferential wall and an inner circumferential wall delimiting along the axis a through central passage; iii) a separator element crossable by the filtered fuel to be separated from the water. The separator element is housed on the base element and/or on the inner circumferential wall of the tubular element.

A water purifier structure includes a container assembly and a buffer unit mounted in the container assembly. The container assembly includes a housing and a cap unit. The housing has a first receiving section and a second receiving section. The second receiving section of the housing is provided with a retaining portion. The buffer unit is mounted in the second receiving section of the housing and includes a positioning ring secured in the retaining portion of the housing, and a cushioning member mounted in the positioning ring. The cushioning member is elastically movable in the positioning ring. When the cushioning member is compressed by a force, the cushioning member is contracted and elastically deformed toward the second receiving section of the housing, to form a buffering force.

A method is provided for supporting environmental control in a semiconductor wafer processing space, the method includes: flowing a first gas under pressure in a first direction through a first diffuser tube, thereby generating a first lateral flow of gas through a sidewall of the first diffuser tube; flowing a second gas under pressure in a second direction through a second diffuser tube, thereby generating a second lateral flow of gas through a sidewall of the second diffuser tube, the second direction being opposite the first direction; combining the first and second lateral flows of gas within a housing; and outputting the combined lateral flows of gas from the housing to produce a laminar gas flow covering an opening to the semiconductor wafer processing space.

A connector pipe screen device configured for mounting on a water conduit includes an expandable ring mounting assembly, the expandable ring mounting assembly being configured to be engagable with and securable to the conduit near or at an axial end of the conduit at which a conduit opening is disposed, a back plate mounted on the expandable ring mounting assembly and a front cover mounted on the back plate. The front cover has a perforated portion defining a multiplicity of openings formed therein to allow water to pass through the perforated portion and to prevent debris carried by the water from passing through the perforated portion.

A filter arrangement for an aquarium is disclosed. The filter arrangement can include a filter housing assembly, a pump assembly, and a transfer tube assembly. In one aspect, the housing assembly and the pump assembly are separately constructed assemblies that are connected to each other via a first dampening member to prevent vibration and sound from being transmitted from the pump assembly to the filter housing assembly. The filter arrangement can further include a second dampening member connecting the pump assembly with the transfer tube assembly to further prevent vibration and sound from being transmitted from the pump assembly to the filter housing assembly. A third dampening member can be provided at a location where the transfer tube assembly is supported within the filter housing assembly to further isolate vibration and sound from being transmitted from the pump assembly to the filter housing assembly via the transfer tube assembly.
