A filtration device comprising a media basket, a baseplate, and a canister. The media basket is affixed to the baseplate. The canister has a cavity therein and is detachably coupled with the baseplate to enclose the media basket. The media basket contains a porous filtration material that efficiently removes contaminants from liquid. The device is configured to establish a first siphon to convey liquid from outside the device into the canister cavity through a canister pipe when a liquid level outside the filtration device is higher than the top of the weir in the canister pipe and configured to establish a second siphon to convey liquid from canister cavity through the top of a center riser pipe and out an outlet pipe when the first siphon has been established and the liquid level outside the filtration device is higher than the top of the center riser pipe.

A valve device for a fuel filter module has a first fluid channel through which fuel flows only in recirculation mode of the fuel filter module and a second fluid channel through which fuel flows only outside of the recirculation mode. The first fluid channel extends inside the second fluid channel. The first and second fluid channels are coaxial to each other. A fuel filter module switchable into recirculation mode and out of recirculation mode is provided with a control valve that has a valve bore and a valve device arranged in the valve bore, wherein the valve device has a first fluid channel through which fuel flows only in recirculation mode and a second fluid channel through which fuel flows only outside of the recirculation mode. The first fluid channel extends inside the second fluid channel, and the first and second fluid channels are coaxial to each other.

The present invention is an intermittent cycled biological filter. Liquid enters a filtration container through an inlet line and travels to the bottom of an internal cavity of the container, passing through any filtration media in the container. The liquid then exits through a siphon mechanism having external and internal siphon tubes connected to an internal cavity of the container. The liquid travels up external siphon tube, down internal siphon tube, and through an outlet line. A siphon break tube connected to the external siphon tube destroys the suction pulling the liquid up once the liquid level in the container drops below a certain level, allowing liquid to begin filling the container again. This allows intermittent wetting of the filtration media. In certain embodiments, multiple filtration containers may be connected in series and/or parallel to allow for a greater volume or level of filtration.

The present invention relates to a water filter cartridge, with a housing and a flow path for air for ventilating a water tank storing water to be processed by the water filter cartridge. The latter is distinguished in that shut-off means are provided for the flow path for air, preferably in the form of a valve or a membrane.
