Abstract

A multi-function showerhead filter system includes a ball-like swivel-mounted inlet joint having a fluid input to the housing, the inlet joint including a fluid input cavity converging, at a distal end, into a venturi outlet. The system also includes a pressure chamber formed within the housing, downstream of the venturi outlet and in fluid communication with it, the chamber having an inlet at least equal to a largest radius of the venturi outlet. The system also includes a turbulence-inducing water filter cartridge secured within the housing downstream of the pressure chamber and having an inlet surface in fluid and mechanical communication with it. The system further includes an output within the housing, secured downstream of the filter cartridge and in fluid communication with it, the output of which is passed through the cartridge, into one of the function modes of spraying, bubbling and massaging.

Description

CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION

[0001] This application is a continuation of patent application Ser. No. 10 / 253,687, filed on Sep. 25, 2002, which is herein incorporated by reference in its entirety.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

[0002] 1. Area of the Invention

[0003] The present invention relates to showerhead systems having an internal filtration system.

[0004] 2. Prior Art

[0005] The recognition and linking of macroscopic and microscopic pathogens to the aesthetic and health qualities of water has resulted in a search for effective water disinfects and treatment procedures. The introduction of water chlorinization, as a continuous water disinfecting process, occurred early in the twentieth century. Today approximately 80% of all potable water systems in the United States use chlorine as a water disinfectant.

[0006] However, the treatment of water with chlorine has certain side effects. Even in lower concentrations, such as originally used by commercial food processors and bot...
