Portable water purification system

摘要

A portable water purification system includes a generally rectangular boxlike chest containing a particulate matter prefilter, a reverse osmosis filter and an activated carbon postfilter unit disposed in a lower base part of the chest. The prefilter, reverse osmosis filter and postfilter units are connected in series by flexible conduits. The chest includes a removable tray section provided with receptacles for receiving a plurality of connector assemblies, a raw water diverter valve, and flexible conduits interconnecting the filter units with the raw water source, a waste water discharge line and connector assemblies for serially connecting a plurality of pure water storage containers comprising conventional plastic milk jug type containers. The storage container connector assemblies comprise removable cap members and respective inlet and outlet connector members which have a tapered force fit on upstanding spigots formed integral with the cap member whereby the connector members may be oriented to interconnect a plurality of containers serially by flexible conduits so that the containers may be filled with pure water without requiring transfer of the pure water discharge line from one bottle to another.
