Abstract: A movable seal for interfacing between a first surface and a second surface includes a floating portion attached to a non-floating portion by a flexible coupling portion, wherein the non-floating portion is coupled to the first surface by nesting in a groove on the first surface, and wherein the non-floating portion forms a seal between the first and second surfaces when the first surface moves relative to the second surface in a first direction, and wherein the non-floating portion does not form a seal between the first and second surfaces when the first surface moves relative to the second surface in a second opposite direction.

Abstract: A vessel that has a pre-filtered liquid area, a compressible portion, and filter material. The pre-filtered liquid area is configured to receive an unfiltered liquid. The compressible portion defines at least in part a filtered liquid storage area. The compressible portion is configured to be compressed into a compressed state and to return to an uncompressed state when no longer compressed. The filter material is positioned between the pre-filtered liquid area and the filtered liquid storage area. The unfiltered liquid is sucked from the pre-filtered liquid area through the filter material and into the filtered liquid storage area when the compressible portion returns to the uncompressed state. The filter material filters the unfiltered liquid, as the unfiltered liquid is sucked through the filter material, to produce a processed liquid that includes filtered liquid and/or purified liquid.

Abstract: A filtration assembly generally includes a housing having a first end configured to interface with an outer container and having a second end configured to interface with an inner sleeve, wherein the housing includes a plurality of apertures configured to pass a liquid therethrough, and a counting device carried by the housing, wherein the counting device is configured to indicate to a user that an associated filter is exhausted.
