The present invention relates to a water filter comprising: a water filter cartridge including a water filter cartridge body, a water filter cartridge outlet cap having a water filter cartridge outlet, and a water filter cartridge sealing cap. The water filter cartridge body in a hollow cylinder form with a central hollow space, one end of the water filter cartridge body is coupled with the water filter cartridge outlet cap so that communicating with the water filter cartridge outlet, and the another end of the water filter cartridge body is coupled with the water filter cartridge sealing cap. The water filter cartridge outlet in a hollow cylinder form protruding from one surface of the water filter cartridge outlet cap. The filter container for containing the water filter cartridge therein, wherein the filter container including a filter container body, a filter container cap, a filter container inlet, and a filter container outlet, wherein the filter container inlet and the filter container outlet arranged at a filter container body bottom. The filter container body having a filter container outlet cylinder hole provided at the filter container body bottom for receiving the water filter cartridge outlet, so that when water flows into the filter container through the filter container inlet will surround the water filter cartridge and flows through the water filter cartridge body into the central hollow space of the water filter cartridge body, and flows to the filter container outlet through the water filter cartridge outlet. The filter container body having ribs provided at an inner surface of the filter container body bottom to reinforce for the filter container body bottom and providing gaps placed between the inner surface of the filter container body bottom and the outer surface of the water filter cartridge outlet cap, so that replacements or miscellaneous uses of the water filter cartridges become impossible.

A method for manufacturing a filter medium includes providing a computer-readable three-dimensional model of the filter medium including a plurality of segments, each segment of the three-dimensional model being configured to be converted into a plurality of slices that each define a cross-sectional layer of the filter medium, each segment including an undulating layer extending along a predetermined direction that is different than the predetermined direction of the undulating layer of the other segment; and successively forming each layer of the filter medium by additive manufacturing.

A filter cartridge has media construction, a housing, and a first end construction. The first end constructions includes an outer radial wall with circumferentially spaced connecting sections; each connecting section having a plurality of helical profiles extending at a helix angle. The filter cartridge is removably attached to a filter head, which has mating connecting segments. A bowl cartridge assembly is also provided including connecting sections with a plurality of helical profiles.

Disclosed herein are decanting backwash receiver assemblies, and related methods of fabrication and use. The present disclosure provides improved decanting backwash receiver assemblies for decanting of input feeds, and improved systems/methods for utilizing and fabricating the decanting backwash receiver assemblies. The present disclosure provides decanting backwash receiver assemblies utilizing porous media insert members and/or porous media surfaces for the decanting of input feeds. Exemplary decanting backwash receiver assemblies are configured and dimensioned to receive a filter backwash surge flow of slurry (e.g., solids and liquid mixture), and provide for settling of the solids from flow 11, and provide for decanting of a liquid layer above the settled solids, and optionally provide for de wetting the settled solids, and provide for discharge of the settled solids (e.g., liquid wetted) from the bottom of the assemblies.

A filter system for filtering a fluid has a filter housing with filter housing head module and housing cover. The filter housing accommodates a filter element with raw side and clean side. A fluid inlet is in fluid connection with the raw side of the filter element. A fluid outlet is in fluid connection with the clean side of the filter element. The filter housing head module has a tube section as a main channel connecting the clean side of the filter element to the fluid outlet when the housing cover is attached to the filter housing head module. The tube section projects into the clean side of the filter element and has a ball valve seat of a ball valve for closing or opening the main channel. The filter housing head module has a pump chamber of a pump as a bypass channel bypassing the ball valve seat.

A filter for filtering particulates from a fluid stream includes a filter element, a first end cap, a second end cap, and a wrap. The end caps are respectively secured to the ends of the filter element to form a fluid tight seal therebetween. At least one of the end caps defines an opening therethrough in fluid communication with the interior passage of the filter element. The wrap is in the form of a strip secured to at least the filter element. The wrap comprises a conductive layer comprising an electrically-conductive material. The wrap is wrapped around the filter element such that at least forty percent of the outer surface area is covered by the conductive layer.

A laundry washing machine having a washing tub in which a drum for receiving laundry is arranged, a filter, and an outlet duct fluidically connecting the washing tub and the filter. The filter comprises a filter seat and a filter body insertable/inserted on the filter seat, and the filter body is built in a once-piece design as a monolithic body with two hem i-shells that are connected to each other by at least one deformable connection element.
