Abstract: Embodiments of the invention provide a reverse osmosis system including a feed water inlet, a reverse osmosis module coupled to the feed water inlet, and at least one blend valve. The blend valve can be coupled to a permeate outlet and the feed water inlet can be capable of blending the feed water and the permeate water to produce mixed water. The blend valve can be adjusted to achieve a desired TDS level in the mixed water.

Abstract: A water purification and dispensing apparatus includes a water reservoir, a recirculation line having an inlet end connected to the reservoir and an outlet end connected to the reservoir, a pump connected to the recirculation line for pumping water through the recirculation line, and a water treatment mechanism in the recirculation line between the inlet end and the outlet end. The treatment mechanism includes an ultraviolet lamp. Further, a first water dispensing outlet is connected to the reservoir, and a second water dispensing outlet is connected to the reservoir.

Abstract: An improved portable water purification system with reduced leaks and the capability of automatic draining of its boiling tank, as well as to a method of preventing water spillage from a portable water purification system and a method of draining a boiling tank of a portable water purification system. The system includes a control tank that is connected to a water supply, a boiling tank that is connected to the control tank for boiling water, a condenser that is connected to the boiling tank for receiving steam from the boiling tank and for condensing the steam to form distilled water, and a distilled water tank that is connected to the condenser for collecting distilled water from the condenser. An inlet solenoid control valve is disposed between the water supply and the control tank, with the inlet solenoid control valve controlling flow of water to the control tank. The system further includes a UV light sanitizer, leak prevention and leak detection features, and a mechanism for detecting water quality.

Abstract: An improved portable water purification system with reduced leaks and the capability of automatic draining of its boiling tank. The system includes a manifold that is used to control the inlet of water to the system, as well as to control draining of the boiling tank. The manifold is designed to create a suction in the drain line to enhance draining of the boiling tank.
