Publication number: 20230139571Abstract: A modular water filtration system including a filter manifold and a filter cartridge is provided. The filter manifold includes a body, a first arm member, a second arm member, a brace, and a slot positioned on the brace. The filter cartridge includes a cartridge head and a fin member protruding upwardly from the cartridge head, and the fin member is sized to be received within the slot of the filter manifold. The filter cartridge is adapted to engage the filter manifold through a horizontal force when the fin member is aligned with the slot.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 27, 2022Publication date: May 4, 2023Inventors: Richard Reckin, Tedd M.

Patent number: 11534704Abstract: A modular water filtration system including a first filter manifold and a second filter manifold is provided. The first filter manifold includes a first bracket and a first pair of arm members horizontally extending from the first bracket. One of the first pair of arm members includes a protrusion defining a bore. The second filter manifold includes a second bracket and a second pair of arm members horizontally extending from the second bracket. One of the second pair of arm members includes a duct, and the duct is configured to receive the protrusion of the first filter manifold to provide fluid communication through the bore between the first filter manifold and the second filter manifold.Type: GrantFiled: October 17, 2017Date of Patent: December 27, 2022Assignee: PENTAIR RESIDENTIAL FILTRATION, LLCInventors: Richard Reckin, Tedd M.

Patent number: 9789424Abstract: A water filtration system that includes a filter manifold having a rotatable cover is provided. A filter cartridge is provided that includes a sump having a filter head integrally secured to a first end and cap releasably secured to a second end. A locking mechanism extending from the cover locks into the filter manifold to position the cartridge in an “in-use” state. The filter cartridge further includes two offset cylindrical inlet and outlet members protruding from the filter head that are designed to engage corresponding inlet and outlets of the filter manifold through a horizontal engagement mechanism. A check valve is positioned within the filter manifold adjacent the inlet of the filter cartridge to control fluid flow through the water filtration system. The filter cartridge head includes fins upwardly extending therefrom that are configured to engage corresponding slots formed in a plurality of corrugated channels of the filter manifold.Type: GrantFiled: June 26, 2014Date of Patent: October 17, 2017Assignee: Pentair Residential Filtration, LLCInventors: Richard Reckin, Tedd M.

Patent number: 7402240Abstract: A home RO filtration system includes a membrane module having an inlet connected to a feed line, the membrane module also having a concentrate outlet coupled to a concentrate line, and a permeate outlet coupled to a permeate line. The permeate line communicates with a faucet. The system includes a flush reservoir communicatively coupled between the permeate line and the feed line. The system is configured such that after the faucet is turned off, a portion of permeate is delivered to the reservoir and then delivered to the inlet of the module to flush the module.Type: GrantFiled: March 17, 2004Date of Patent: July 22, 2008Assignee: General Electric CompanyInventors: Chia Kung, Phillip Goebel, Thomas J.

Publication number: 20070181484Abstract: A water treatment system includes a filter module and a reverse osmosis module secured to the filter module. The filter module contains two filter cartridges. The modular structure of the components enables the filter module to have the two filter cartridges connected as separate pre and post filters or connected in series as a single two-stage filter. Similarly the modularity permits multiple reverse osmosis modules to be connected is a daisy chain manner for increased treatment capacity. A novel bracket structure aligns ports of the filter module with corresponding ports on the reverse osmosis module.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 7, 2006Publication date: August 9, 2007Inventors: Richard Reckin, Duane Freimuth, Kenneth Sieth

Publication number: 20070045186Abstract: A filtration assembly includes a feed water line and a permeate line. A shut-off valve is coupled between the permeate line and the feed water line and operative to open the feed line when the faucet is opened based on a pressure differential between the feed line and the permeate line. An energy storage member is located within the permeate line and configured to compress and then expand after the faucet is closed.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 26, 2005Publication date: March 1, 2007Inventors: Kenneth Sieth, Richard Reckin, Duane Freimuth
