Abstract: A multiple flow sink counter-top water sprayer and filter system includes a selectably by-passable filter cartridge. The system includes a housing having an upstream portion and a downstream portion, defining, through these portions, channels for the flow of water. An inlet to the upstream portion permits flow of water into the channels, and respective outlets in the downstream portion of the housing discharges respective flows of water from the channels. Also provided is an annular water-purifying cartridge having a tubular shell including concentric interior and exterior walls to contain a filter material, the cartridge including an axial bore running lengthwise of the cartridge and the exterior wall of the cartridge secured within the upstream portion at a radial offset from an interior surface of the upstream portion of the housing to establish an annular path of flow which by-passes the cartridge.

Abstract: A water filter device containing copper media for effectively treating water and the method of use are disclosed. The water filter device has an outer housing having an inlet and an outlet; and an inner filter which has an inner filter housing, an inner filter housing inlet at one end, an inner filter housing outlet at an opposing end, and one uniform region of substantially pure copper media disposed within the inner filter housing; wherein the inner filter is situated within and in fluid communication with the outer housing. The inner filter further has a region of granulated activated carbon, and a filter pad separating the two regions. The water filter device is a shower filter which removes more than 90% of the chlorine when water passes through the water filter device at a high flow rate used for showering.
