Flow diverter device

1. A flow diverter device comprising:

diverter body defining therein two inlet channels and an outlet channel and comprising a diverter valve defining therein a connecting channel, wherein the diverter valve is movable between a first position where the connecting channel fluidly connects one of the inlet channels with the outlet channel only and a second position where the connecting channel fluidly connects the other of the inlet channels with the outlet channel only; and

a sleeve component comprising a secondary inlet channel and a secondary outlet channel, the sleeve component being connectable to the diverter body,

wherein the sleeve component further comprises an inner flow channel connecting the secondary inlet channel with the secondary outlet channel, and wherein the inner flow channel comprises an uppermost segment which is vented.

2. The flow diverter device of claim 1 , wherein the diverter valve comprises a three-port hall valve.

3. The flow diverter device of claim 1 , wherein the sleeve component comprises at least one fastening nut for positioning the flow diverter device with respect to a surface.

4. The flow diverter device of claim 1 , further comprising a diverter valve stem connectable to the diverter valve.

5. The flow diverter device of claim 4 , wherein the sleeve component comprises an isolation conduit configured to receive part of the diverter valve stem.

6. The flow diverter device of claim 4 , further comprising a diverter selection mechanism connected to the diverter valve stem, wherein rotation of the diverter selection mechanism moves the diverter valve between the first position and the second position.

7. The flow diverter device of claim 6 , wherein the diverter selection mechanism comprises a knob.

8. The flow diverter device of claim 7 , wherein rotation of the diverter selection mechanism comprises manual rotation of the knob.

9. A system comprising:

a faucet;

a water filter apparatus; and

a flow diverter device comprising:

a diverter body defining therein two inlet channels and an outlet channel and comprising a diverter valve defining therein as connecting channel,

wherein the diverter valve is movable between a first position where the connecting channel fluidly connects one of the inlet channels with the outlet channel only and a second position where the connecting channel fluidly connects the other of the inlet channels with the outlet channel only; and

a sleeve component comprising a secondary inlet channel and a secondary outlet channel, the sleeve component being connectable to the diverter body,

wherein the sleeve component further comprises an inner flow channel connecting the secondary in let channel with the secondary outlet channel, and wherein the inner flow channel comprises an uppermost segment of which is vented.

10. The system of claim 9 , wherein the diverter valve comprises a three-port ball valve.

11. The system of claim 9 , wherein the sleeve component comprises at least one fastening nut for positioning the flow diverter device with respect to a surface.

12. The system of claim 9 , wherein one of the inlet channels is fluidly connectable to an unfiltered fluid source.

13. The system of claim 12 , wherein the other of the inlet channels is fluidly connectable to the unfiltered fluid source via the water filter apparatus.

14. The system of claim 13 , wherein the outlet channel is fluidly connectable to the faucet.

15. The system of claim 9 , further comprising a diverter valve stem connectable to the diverter valve.

16. The system of claim 15 , wherein the sleeve component comprises an isolation conduit configured to receive part of the diverter valve stem.

17. The system of claim 15 , further comprising a diverter selection mechanism connected to the diverter valve stem, wherein rotation of the diverter selection mechanism moves the diverter vale e between the first position and the second position.

18. The system of claim 17 , wherein the diverter selection mechanism comprises a knob.
