Water Filtration System

Abstract

A water filtration system is provided that includes a filter section, a tank section, a pump section, a housing section and a dispensing section. The filter section includes a high-pressure water filter disconnected from a source of tap water. The tank section includes an outer tank member and an inner tank member fluidly connected to the filter section. The pump section is fluidly connected to the filter section via a first conduit for pumping water at a high pressure through the filter and is fluidly connected to the outer tank member via a second conduit for drawing unfiltered water from the outer tank member. The housing section houses at least one of the filter section, the tank section and the pump section. The dispensing section is fluidly connected to the inner tank member for dispensing filtered water.

1 . A water filtration system comprising:
 a filter section including a high-pressure water filter disconnected from a source of tap water;   a tank section including an outer tank member and an inner tank member fluidly connected to the filter section;   a pump section fluidly connected to the filter section via a first conduit for pumping water at a high pressure through the filter, the pump section being fluidly connected to the outer tank member via a second conduit for drawing unfiltered water from the outer tank member;   a housing section housing at least one of the filter section, the tank section and the pump section; and   a dispensing section fluidly connected to the inner tank member for dispensing filtered water.   
     
     
         2 . The system of  claim 1 , further comprising a cooling section including a cooling sink with at least a portion disposed in the outer tank member for cooling the unfiltered water and the filtered water. 
     
     
         3 . The system of  claim 1 , further comprising a collection section fluidly connected to the outer tank member. 
     
     
         4 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the housing section includes a fan aperture adjacent the cooling section and a grill over the fan aperture. 
     
     
         5 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the tank section further includes a first insulation member and a second insulation member connected to the first insulation member. 
     
     
         6 . The system of  claim 5 , wherein the first insulation member and the second insulation member are configured to house the outer tank member. 
     
     
         7 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the dispensing section includes a solenoid member for controlling flow of filtered water from the inner tank member. 
     
     
         8 . The system of  claim 7 , wherein the dispensing section includes a spout disposed at an exterior of the housing section and a spout paddle rotatably disposed at an exterior of the housing section. 
     
     
         9 . The system of  claim 8 , wherein the spout paddle is rotatable to open or close a switch for controlling the flow of the filtered water. 
     
     
         10 . The system of  claim 9 , wherein the switch is electrically communicated to the solenoid member. 
     
     
         11 . A water filtration system comprising:
 an outer tank member configured to hold unfiltered water;   an inner tank member disposed inside the outer tank member, the inner tank member being configured to hold filtered water and having exterior walls exposed to unfiltered water; and   a cooling section disposed at the outer tank member to cool the unfiltered water and the filtered water in the inner tank member.   
     
     
         12 . The system of  claim 11 , further comprising a filter section fluidly connected to the inner tank member. 
     
     
         13 . The system of  claim 12 , wherein the filter section includes a high-pressure water filter disconnected from a source of tap water. 
     
     
         14 . The system of  claim 13 , further comprising a pump section fluidly connected to the outer tank member and the filter section for pumping unfiltered water through the high-pressure water filter. 
     
     
         15 . The system of  claim 11 , further comprising a housing section including a bottom housing member for supporting at least one of the outer tank member, the inner tank member and the cooling section, the bottom housing member being configured to rest on a household countertop. 
     
     
         16 . The system of  claim 15 , further comprising a collection section fluidly connected to the outer tank member, the collection section having a reservoir to receive unfiltered water. 
     
     
         17 . The system of  claim 16 , wherein the housing section has a collection aperture opening into the collection section for pouring unfiltered water through a portion of the housing section and into the reservoir. 
     
     
         18 . The system of  claim 11 , further comprising a dispensing section fluidly connected to the inner tank member for dispensing filtered water, the dispensing section including a solenoid member for controlling flow of the filtered water. 
     
     
         19 . The system of  claim 11 , wherein the cooling section includes a cooling sink with at least a portion disposed in the outer tank member for cooling the unfiltered water and the filtered water. 
     
     
         20 . The system of  claim 11 , further comprising a first insulation member and a second insulation member connected to the first insulation member, the first insulation member and the second insulation member being configured to house the outer tank member.
