Abstract: A reverse osmosis prefilter system includes a recirculation chamber for accommodating one or more prefilter cartridges. The recirculation chamber is communicably interconnected to an inline water source and an RO filtration membrane. The recirculation chamber has a recirculation outlet and inlet which are communicably interconnected by an offline pump that recirculates prefiltered water repeatedly through the recirculation chamber and prefilter cartridges to remove particulates from the source water prior to delivery to the reverse osmosis filter membrane.

Abstract: An eductor includes an adjustable air inductor assembly connected to a source of outside air or other fluid. As liquid flows through a constricted orifice of the eductor, the venturi effect creates a vacuum or low pressure zone that draws inducting fluid through the inductor assembly and infuses such fluid into the liquid driven or transmitted through the eductor. The fluid inducted liquid is then discharged by the eductor into a body or contained volume of water. Improved aeration and fluid flow control, as well as reduced algae growth are achieved without extraneous mechanical equipment. Increased turbulent liquid flow is produced, for example, to more effectively clean dirt and debris from water recirculating swimming pools, fish tanks and similar environments.

Abstract: A multiple cartridge fluid filter canister for mounting operatively in a standard filter housing includes spaced part upper and lower support plates that engage respective ends of a plurality of elongate filter cartridges that extend between the upper and lower support plates. The upper support plate carries an upper positioning element that depends from the upper support plate for engaging an upper end of a respective filter cartridge. The lower support plate carries a corresponding lower positioning element that extends upwardly from the lower support plate to engage a lower end of the filter cartridge. Annular seals surround the upper and lower positioning elements for respectively interengaging and sealing the upper and lower ends of the filter cartridge to restrict fluid flow between the cartridge and the upper and lower support plates. The upper and lower support plates define one or more inlets and outlets that communicate with corresponding fluid flow inlet and outlet lines in the filter housing.
