Air bubbles are removable with the use of an air vent structure having a compact and simple configuration. An air vent hole is formed in an upper plate that covers an entire upper end surface of a filtration section having a substantially tubular shape formed by bending a thin plate in a pleat shape. A moving member is provided to be movable between a position of closing the air vent hole and a position of opening the air vent hole.

A water tank for a household appliance having a connection for a filter cartridge, wherein an annular tank sealing face is provided on the tank bottom for the tight connection of the filter cartridge and the tank sealing face encloses a tank passage opening for the water from the filter cartridge to flow through the wall of the tank bottom to the household appliance, characterized in that the tank sealing face along its circumference has a variable radius in relation to a central axis, so that the tank sealing face comprises radial concavities and/or radial convexities, wherein the convexities and/or concavities have a round profile, and wherein the concavities and/or convexities are configured to periodically oscillate around a circular line.

A liquid filter for removing particles from a liquid, in particular from fuel or a urea solution, includes a first filter medium, a second filter medium, and a supporting frame including a supporting frame wall. The supporting frame wall includes first and front faces facing away from each other. The first filter medium is fastened to the first front face in a fluid-tight manner, and the second filter medium is fastened to the second front face in a fluid-tight manner. The supporting frame, the first filter medium, and the second filter medium enclose an interior space. The supporting frame includes a passage opening, a first filter element being situated in the interior space and being connected, in a fluid-conducting manner, to an exterior space of the liquid filter using the passage opening.

A water recirculating system for power sluices includes a first filtration unit, a second filtration unit, and a third filtration unit. Each filtration unit is equipped with a debris catcher and a filter that to clean the dirty water that discharges from the power sluices. A tailings catcher is integrated into the first filtration unit to receives the dirty water that discharges from the power sluices as the first stage of filtration. Then, the debris catchers and the filters clean the dirty water as the first filtration unit is in fluid communication with the second filtration unit, and the second filtration unit is in fluid communication with the third filtration unit. Resulting clean water that enters into the third filtration unit is then pumped back into the power sluices thus allowing a quantity of water to recirculate through the power sluices.

A filtration apparatus for a container, the apparatus includes a connection portion for securing the apparatus to the container; a housing; a hand pump attached to the housing, the hand pump comprising an inlet, an outlet, and a user-operated actuator, the hand pump is configured to pass filtered water through the inlet in a first direction towards the outlet of the hand pump during a first stroke of the user-operated actuator, and in both the first direction and in a second direction opposite to the first direction during a second stroke of the user-operated actuator; and a filter fluidly connected to the inlet of the hand pump, the housing is configured to house the filter and at least part of the hand pump, the housing is configured to pass water, the filter is configured to be a two-way valve for regulating water flow between the housing and the hand pump.
