A switchable water-saving valve including a water inlet substrate formed as an annular body which has a housing and a water inlet portion. The water inlet portion is fixedly arranged within the housing and has a water inlet and a water outlet extending therethrough. A flow channel substrate is fixedly arranged within the housing below the water inlet portion. Guide holes are formed circumferentially at intervals on the flow channel substrate and extend therethrough and are in fluid communication with the water outlet. A switch holder is rotatably positioned below the flow channel substrate. First and second pluralities of water flow holes are arranged circumferentially in the top surface of the switch holder and penetrate the top surface. Water outlet holes are formed on the bottom surface of an aerator holder and are in fluid communication with the first water flow holes. When the switch holder rotates to a first position where the first water flow holes are aligned with the guide holes, water flowing into the guide holes flows out of the water outlet holes through the first water flow holes.

Devices, methods and systems for at least priming water filters are disclosed. In one or more embodiments, a device includes a barrel portion, a first opening, a handle portion, a second opening, and a bottom surface for engaging objects of various shapes and sizes, wherein at least a portion of the device is able to be rolled back onto itself at least once by a user. In one or more embodiments, a system includes: a device, a water filter and a faucet. In one or more embodiments, a method for using a device includes: operably attaching a water filter to the device, operably attaching the device to a faucet, applying water pressure from the faucet in order to prime the water filter, and observing the effects of water pressure on the device.

The present invention discloses a filtering apparatus for filtering liquid and dispensing the filtered liquid into a bottle separate from the filtering apparatus. The filtering apparatus includes an elongated housing having an interior for holding liquid. The elongated housing includes an opening at one end and a ceiling at another end. The opening encompasses projections extending towards the center of the elongated housing. The filtering apparatus includes a filter configured for insertion and removal from the elongated housing. The elongated housing receives the filter at the interior through the opening. The elongated housing receives a bottle at the opening and the projections hold the bottle at the opening while preventing further entry of the bottle into the interior of the elongated housing. The interior holds liquid and allows the liquid to flow down through the filter. The filter filters the liquid as it flows through. The filtered water enters the bottle for subsequent use, storage or transport.

A purification device comprises a main body having an opening in a front-face thereof; a rotator disposed in the opening to be rotatably mounted on the main body; a manipulation structure spaced from and above the rotator and rotatably connected to a top face of the main body, the manipulation structure protruding forward of the main body; and a water-outlet including; a first cover fixed to the rotator through the opening, the first cover protruding forward of the main body, and a top of the first cover being connected to a bottom of the manipulation structure; a second cover vertically movable while being held in contact with the first cover; and a nozzle on a bottom of the second cover; wherein when the second cover rises to a highest level, a top of the second cover is located in a space between the rotator and the manipulation structure.
