Abstract
The present invention relates to a point-of-use water treatment system unit (). The unit () includes a filter housing assembly () having a filter tank assembly () and a closure () which utilizes a handle () and cammed reciprocating lock blades () to secure the closure () to the filter tank assembly (). A UV tank assembly () includes a planar baffle plate () and a vaned baffle plate () to induce plug flow about a UV lamp assembly (). The UV lamp assembly () is used which simultaneously electrically and sealingly mounts to UV tank assembly () and electrical cap assembly () using a bayonet mount. A bi-planar manifold assembly () is used to interconnect components of the WTS unit and to provide an envelope for accommodating a water pipe assembly (). The bi-planar manifold assembly () enhances the compactness of the design of the WTS unit (). Also, a support plate () is disclosed which provides support to subcomponents of the WTS unit () while also dissipating heat from a UV tank assembly ().
