Faucet mountable water conditioning systems

摘要

A faucet mountable water conditioning devices include a relatively simple configuration that allows for reduced cost, easy installation, and a pleasing aesthetic. In one or more implementations, a faucet mountable water conditioning device includes a universal faucet mounting mechanism. The universal faucet mounting mechanism allows the faucet mountable water conditioning device to connect and seal to a wide variety of faucet designs and sizes simply by pressing the mounting mechanism over the faucet. The faucet mountable water conditioning device can also include a base configured to hold a water conditioning source. In one or more implementations a connector can couple the base to the mounting mechanism; thereby, allowing the base to move between active and inactive positions.

主权项

1. A faucet mountable water conditioning system, comprising:
a mounting mechanism including an outer wall and an annular inner wall, wherein the annular inner wall is configured to conform to and seal about a plurality of different sized faucets; a base coupled to the mounting mechanism, the base comprising a side wall and a bottom surface defining a compartment within which is received a shaped composition, wherein at least a portion of the base is transparent, and the shaped composition comprises:
a dissolvable region having a top surface, a bottom surface, and a peripheral surface; and a substantially non-dissolvable region disposed adjacent to the bottom surface of the dissolvable region, a top surface of the substantially non-dissolvable region being colored to contrast with a color of the dissolvable region so as to indicate a need to replace the shaped composition so that once the dissolvable region dissolves through to the colored top surface of the substantially non-dissolvable region, a user is able to view the colored top surface through the transparent portion of the base; and wherein the dissolvable region includes a hypochlorite functional agent selected from the group consisting of calcium hypochlorite, magnesium hypochlorite, and combinations thereof for introducing an antimicrobial sanitizing hypochlorite into a flowing stream of water from a faucet.
