Abstract
An under-counter water filtration assembly, including methods for performing the same, may include a filter housing, a filter element, and a powered water valve. The filter housing may define an inlet port, a filtered outlet port, and an unfiltered outlet port. The filtered outlet port and the unfiltered outlet port may be defined downstream from the inlet port. The filter element may be mounted within the filter housing upstream from the filtered outlet port. The filter element may be bypassed by the unfiltered outlet port. The powered water valve may be mounted within the filter housing in fluid communication between the inlet port and the unfiltered outlet port to selectively restrict a water flow therethrough.
