Point-of-use water treatment system

摘要

The present invention relates to a point-of-use water treatment system unit ( 10 ). The unit ( 10 ) includes a filter housing assembly ( 60 ) having a filter tank assembly ( 66 ) and a closure ( 64 ) which utilizes a handle ( 152 ) and cammed reciprocating lock blades ( 146, 150 ) to secure the closure ( 64 ) to the filter tank assembly ( 66 ). A UV tank assembly ( 300 ) includes a planar baffle plate ( 322 ) and a vaned baffle plate ( 324 ) to induce plug flow about a UV lamp assembly ( 280 ). The UV lamp assembly ( 280 ) is used which simultaneously electrically and sealingly mounts to UV tank assembly ( 300 ) and electrical cap assembly ( 290 ) using a bayonet mount. A bi-planar manifold assembly ( 40 ) is used to interconnect components of the WTS unit and to provide an envelope for accommodating a water pipe assembly ( 34 ). The bi-planar manifold assembly ( 26 ) enhances the compactness of the design of the WTS unit ( 10 ). Also, a support plate ( 26 ) is disclosed which provides support to subcomponents of the WTS unit ( 10 ) while also dissipating heat from a UV tank assembly ( 300 ).
