Abstract: Reverse osmosis filtration systems that are self contained and easily converted from above the counter use to below the counter use. The systems feature a simple construction, including a two piece manifold assembly to which filters, including a reverse osmosis filter, a product water storage tank and a control valve connect, all without separate fasteners. The manifold assembly provides all water connections within the system, and includes connections to connect to a water supply, a drain, two dispensers and to an auxiliary water storage tank. The system pressurizes squeeze water for product water dispensing, providing maximum efficiency, maximum storage capacity for a given tank size and maximum pressure for dispensing product water. Various embodiments are disclosed.

Abstract: An apparatus for providing a predetermined volume of biocidally treated water to a feed water side of a reverse osmosis device when it is shut down. A biocide dispenser treats a predetermined volume of water from a source with a biocidal agent. A valve, coupled to the source of the predetermined volume of water, transfers the predetermined volume of water to the feed water side of the reverse osmosis device. A controller, coupled to the valve, causes the transfer of the predetermined volume of water after a source of feed water connected to the feed water side of the reverse osmosis device is shut off, and then causes the predetermined volume of water to remain in the feed water side of the reverse osmosis device while the reverse osmosis device is shut down.
