Abstract:
A point-of-use water treatment system, the system comprising:a base; a filter housing assembly mounted relative to the base; a filter disposed within the filter housing for filtering water passing through the filter housing assembly; a tank assembly mounted relative to the base; a bulb assembly disposed within the tank assembly for irradiating water passing therethrough; and a heat dissipating support plate, having a relatively high thermal conductivity, which is mounted juxtaposed the tank assembly, said heat dissipating support plate including support means for mounting said water treatment system to a mounting plate, whereby said heat dissipating support plate provides structural support for said mounting plate; and an outer housing generally enclosing the filter housing assembly and the tank assembly; whereby heat generated by the bulb assembly and transferred to the tank assembly is readily transferable to the support plate and then the atmosphere.
