Abstract: An in-line drink dispensing system (1,16,17) for dispensing liquid such as water or other beverage. The system comprises a pump (6) in fluid connection with the system so that the pump can create a flow in the system and based on the current that the pump uses during operation a value can be determined and used for analyzing one or more statuses of the system.

Abstract: A household appliance (2) comprising a dispensing system (20) for dispensing a beverage and a compartment (4) which in use of the household appliance (2) is kept cold. A wall portion (22) has a wall thickness extending from the compartment (4) to the ambient environment. A temperature gradient is formed over the wall thickness. The dispensing system (20) comprises an outlet (12) and a first liquid path (26) and a second liquid path (28) for conducting the beverage to the outlet (12). The first liquid path (26) comprises a first conduit section (32) and the second liquid path (28) comprises the second conduit section (34). The first conduit section (32) and the second conduit section (34) are arranged within the at least one wall portion (22) at different positions along the temperature gradient formed in the at least one wall portion (22). Beverage at different temperatures may thus be provided from the dispensing system.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a filter unit (1) for use in a water filtering device (30). The filter unit comprises a housing (3) having an inlet (13a-d) for receiving water to be filtered and an outlet (25) for dispensing filtered water. A water filtering medium (5) is contained in between the inlet and outlet. The water filtering medium (5) comprises an ion exchange resin layer (5b) and an activated carbon loaded material layer (5c), which layers are provided as two distinct layers arranged in the housing. The invention further relates to a water filtering device, such as a water filter jug, comprising a filter unit.
