A filter assembly 7 for separating contaminants from a fluid stream is described. The filter assembly 7 comprises a filter element 58 which is locatable within chamber 19 in a flow path extending between inlet 54 and outlet 56. The filter element 58 comprises a filter media component 60, and the filter element is locatable within the chamber 19 in the flow path so that fluid flowing from the inlet 54 to the outlet 56 is directed through the filter media component. The filter assembly 7 comprises at least one first alignment assembly having a first alignment component 64a provided by the housing portion 21c and disposed within chamber 19, and a second alignment component 66a provided by the filter element 58. The first and second alignment components 64a and 66a cooperate to rotationally orient the filter element 58 within the chamber 19.

A filter cartridge assembly for an ice making appliance having a rectilinear filter cartridge with a plurality of partitions that are positioned within an internal chamber, form multiple sub-chambers, and create a non-linear pathway for the flow of water through the filter cartridge. Filter media positioned in the sub-chambers of the filter cartridge are configured to remove dissolved solids from water travelling through the filter cartridge and used by the appliance to create ice, including clear ice.

A beverage dispenser comprising: a cartridge receiving chamber 108, the chamber comprising a water inlet 112 and a treated water outlet 114 configured to connect to a cartridge water inlet and a treated water cartridge outlet of a water treatment cartridge, respectively; a cartridge seat 116, slidingly displaceable within the cartridge receiving chamber 108 between a cartridge operative position in which the cartridge water inlet and the treated water cartridge outlet establish a fluid communication with the water inlet and the treated water outlet of said chamber, respectively, and a cartridge extraction position in which the cartridge water inlet and the treated water cartridge outlet are disengaged from the water inlet and the treated water outlet of the chamber, respectively, the cartridge seat configured to engage a seat-receiving location formed at an external wall portion of said cartridge when received within the cartridge receiving chamber; and a user accessible actuation member 120 switchable between a locked position and an unlocked position, the actuation member being configured to slidingly displace the cartridge seat between said cartridge operative position, corresponding to said locked position, and said cartridge extraction position that corresponds to said unlocked position.

Apparatus, systems, and methods for a pool filtration system including a basket with a flexible netting that is customizably designed and versatile in its functionality. The basket can be made from modern plastic or plastic-like materials. The weather-resistant, durable materials benefit the netting design for capturing and holding debris in a pool filtration system.

This invention is directed to a filter removal tool comprising: a cup configured to engage with a filter so that rotating the cup rotates the filter; a shaft having a bore and extending through the cup at a proximal end of the cup; a puncture cap removably attached to the shaft and configured to be received in the cup and to puncture the filter when the shaft transitions from a first position to a second position; a lateral puncture cap opening defined in the puncture cap in fluid communication with the bore; and, a removal tool portion carried by the cup configured to receive a tool for rotating the cup.

A quick release pool skimmer basket apparatus includes a tapered attachment apparatus, a basket having a sidewall, a filter element coupled to the sidewall to move between an open position and a closed position, and a handle extending upwardly from the basket. A trigger in the handle is operatively coupled to the filter element to hold the filter element in the closed position. Activation of the trigger releases the bottom from the closed position to the open position.

Described herein are a filter housing, a purification skid, a modular filter apparatus and methods of use thereof. The filter housing can accommodate one or more different types of filters and can be employed in an equipment skid.

An upper plate provided on upper ends of a filtration member and an inner tube includes a tubular portion along the inner tube, a rib formed so as to protrude inward in a radial direction from an inner circumference of the tubular portion, and a hole formed in the rib. A gripping member has a protrusion portion that protrudes downward from a body portion having a thick plate shape inserted into a hollow portion of the tubular portion. When the gripping member is mounted on the upper plate, the protrusion portion is inserted into the hole.

The present invention relates to a filter element for the filtration of fluids, in particular hydraulic oil, having at least one end plate and a filter material which has a hollow-cylindrical shape and is connected to the end plate at an end face, wherein the end plate is designed to transmit a torque to a housing part, in particular a filter cover and/or a filter pot, of a filter device, wherein the end plate has at least one form-fitting element for receiving a torque and at least one transmission region for transmitting the torque to the housing part. The invention also relates to a filter device, an arrangement and an assembly method.
