Abstract: The portable water filtration device may be made in various ways. In some embodiments, the reservoir is formed in a seal-tight housing and the water is pumped by means of an air pump through a filter located within the reservoir and thereafter passed through a spout. In another embodiment, use is made of a blender with the water being forced by an impeller from within a lower compartment of the blender jar into a filter and thereafter out a spout on the filter. Other pump means may also be used to pump the water through a filter and out an outlet from a closed reservoir. Sterilizing means may also be provided in the various embodiments to sterilize the water prior to filtration. Also, the water being treated may be recycled to increase the time of treatment.

Abstract: A portable domestic water purification and filtration apparatus includes a container for treating water to having a reservoir for storing untreated water and a pump having an inlet connected to pump water from the bottom of the reservoir and an outlet connected within the container to the inlet of a filter device also located within the container. The filter device includes an integral outlet spout for discharging the filtered water over the upper edge of the container.
