A gravity fed water purificationdevice

Abstract

The present invention relates to a gravity fed water purification device comprising a biocide unit, a reservoir separated by a wall from and positioned adjacent to a scavenger comprising a media capable of scavenging said biocide or byproducts thereof from water and a dispensing chamber interconnected to define a flow path where the biocide is added by the biocide unit to the water in the reservoir which flows over the wall into the scavenger and through an outlet to the dispensing chamber, and, the outlet is positioned such that at least 10% by weight of said media is below the lowest level of the outlet, and the wall extends above the highest level of the media and above the lowest level of the outlet.
