Abstract: A water replicating system comprises a water analyzer for analyzing a target water to determine relative content of selected components. The system further comprises a water treatment apparatus for receiving source water, the water treatment apparatus having a first treatment portion for removing or reducing the relative content of selected components and a second treatment portion for adding components so that the source water will substantially replicate the target water.

Abstract: A water filtration and disinfection device comprises a water basin having an inlet for receiving water from a source. A sidestream treatment device is provided for treating water from the water basin, and the sidestream treatment device comprises a plurality of filtration or disinfection mechanisms for acting on water within the sidestream treatment device. A feed conduit extends between the water basin and the sidestream treatment device for feeding water from the water basin to the sidestream and a return conduit extends from the sidestream treatment device to the water basin for returning at least a part of the water to the water basin.
