A water purifier for home use, irrigation systems used for crop cultivation or the pharmaceutical industry includes a water inlet for a water to be purified and a water outlet for a purified water. A water treatment chamber is fluidly connected to the water inlet and the water outlet. The water treatment chamber is confined by a chamber wall. The water purifier includes a high-voltage plasma unit for generating a cold plasma within the water treatment chamber. The plasma unit has a first electrode and a second electrode. The first electrode is arranged inside the water treatment chamber such that, during use of the water purifier, it is contacted by the water. The second electrode is disposed spaced apart from the first electrode and electrically insulated therefrom by a dielectric. The water purifier further relates to a water purification system.

The present invention relates to a handheld electronic soap device (1), where pH neutral water is poured in the device through a water inlet (2) into an electrolytic cell (11). The pH neutral water is split into acidic ionized and alkaline ionized water by an electrolysis. The alkaline and acidic water can be used for cleaning and rinsing of skin or hair. More particularly, the alkaline water enables to clean skin or hair, whereas the acid water is important to maintain the acid environment on hairs and skin. According to the present invention a user can select between acidic or alkaline water to be poured out of the device through a water outlet (4).

Disclosed is a double-water-output cylindrical integrated water purifier. A clean water flow channel, a pure water branch flow channel and a waste water bypass flow channel are further provided in the base, and a clean water outlet in communication with the clean water flow channel is provided at a side of the base; the pure water flow channel is communicated with the clean water flow channel via the pure water branch flow channel, and a second check valve for controlling water to flow into the clean water flow channel unidirectionally is disposed in the pure water branch flow channel; the waste water outlet end face is further communicated with the clean water flow channel via the waste water bypass flow channel, and a third check valve for controlling water to flow into the clean water flow channel unidirectionally is disposed in the waste water bypass flow channel.

A water dispensing unit adapted for communication with a water supply includes a main body including a first end, a second end opposite the first end, a first axis extending through the first and second ends, and a second axis extending perpendicular to the first axis. The water dispensing unit additionally includes an inlet configured to receive water from the water supply, an outlet configured to dispense water, wherein the outlet extends along an outlet axis, an inner wall including a reflective liner, and a light emitting diode positioned within the main body. The outlet axis is oriented at an angle relative to the second axis to direct water from the water supply toward the light emitting diode before exiting through the outlet.

A water flavoring and filtering assembly includes a filtration unit that has an input and an outlet. The inlet is fluidly coupled to a fluid source thereby facilitating the outlet to dispense a fluid from the fluid source. The filtration unit includes a filtering element that is integrated into the input for filtering the fluid. A flavor dispenser is integrated into the filtration unit and the flavor dispenser includes a plurality of reservoirs. Each of the reservoirs contains a respective liquid flavor and a respective one of the reservoirs is actuatable to dispense a pre-determined volume of the respective liquid flavor into the filtration unit to enhance the flavor of the fluid.

The embodiments described herein include an apparatus for adapting an existing water fountain having a water supply line and an existing bubbler assembly for dispensing water to a filtered water fountain. The system includes an adapter base in fluid communication with the water supply line, a housing assembly secured to the adapter base, and a bubbler head assembly secured to the housing assembly for dispensing water. A filter cartridge assembly is disposed within the housing assembly and is in fluid communication with the adapter base and the bubbler head assembly.

The present invention relates to a water purifier filter, and a water purifier including the same. The water purifier filter and the water purifier including the same according to the present invention include a filter housing including an inlet and an outlet, and a filter module provided in the filter housing to purify water introduced through the inlet and to supply the water to the outlet, and a material of the filter module includes sodium orthotitanate (Na.sub.4TiO.sub.4) to remove a heavy metal under water, thereby effectively removing a heavy metal including cadmium under water.

A multifunction tap assembly (18) for dispensing water, includes a tap body with a spout (2) for dispensing water. A valve body (6) has a mixer valve (8) including an inlet for water (20) from a hot water supply (H), an inlet for water (22) from a cold water supply (C), and an outlet. A selector control (14) on the valve body (6) can selectively direct cold water (30, 32) from the cold water supply to one or more water processing stations (34, 38). Each water processing station (34, 38) has an inlet for receiving cold water from the cold water supply as directed by the selector control (14) and processes the cold water to provide a processed water (36, 40) for dispensing from an outlet. A manifold connection (26) provides fluid communication between the outlet of the mixer valve (14) and each processing station outlet and has a manifold outlet in fluid communication with the spout (2).

The invention relates to a fixture and a method for cleaning a drinking water purification system including the following steps: removal of a filter cartridge from a cartridge holder of a filtering unit in a cold water line, insertion of a connection adapter into the cartridge holder to form a fluid connection with the cold water line, connection of a connecting piece of a hot water line to the connection adapter, heating of water with a heater interconnected with the hot water line, delivery of heated water via the connecting piece of the hot water line and the connection adapter into the cold water line.
