Abstract

The invention relates to filter-as-you-pour filtration container systems. Such a system may include a container body defining an internal storage volume for holding water, a lid that may be releasably attachable over the container body, and a filter assembly (e.g., disposed within the container body). The system includes an inlet through which unfiltered water is introduced into the container body, and an outlet through which filtered water may be poured. The filter assembly may be attachable to at least one of the lid or container body, and is disposed relative to the outlet so as to be in a flow stream of the water as the water is poured from the container. The filter media of the filter assembly may comprise an activated carbon fibrous textile material that presents a curved surface to the water. Such systems surprisingly provide for relatively high flow rates (e.g., at least 0.3 GPM).
