APPARATUS FOR A FLUID MIXING MODULE

1 . An apparatus comprising:

a canister comprising a venturi component, wherein the venturi component comprises a check valve and a channel defined in the venturi component coupling the check valve to an interior cavity of the canister.

2 . The apparatus of claim 1 , further comprising a plenum that is connectable to the canister.

3 . The apparatus of claim 2 , wherein the plenum comprises a snap-on interface.

4 . The apparatus of claim 2 , wherein the plenum comprises a channel defined therein.

5 . The apparatus of claim 4 , wherein the channel defined in the venturi component fluidly couples the plenum and the venturi component via aligning with the channel defined in the plenum.

6 . The apparatus of claim 2 , wherein the plenum is connectable to the canister such that fluid is drawn from the plenum upon a pressure differential being created via the venturi component.

7 . The apparatus of claim 1 , further comprising a canister interlocking member, wherein the canister interlocking member comprises one or more through-holes defined on a surface thereof

8 . The apparatus of claim 7 , wherein the canister interlocking member comprises a media adapter cap coupled thereto.

9 . The apparatus of claim 7 , wherein the media adapter cap comprises a central opening defined therein.

10 . The apparatus of claim 9 , further comprising a fluid mixing module displaced within the canister, the fluid mixing module comprising an exhaust port defined thereon.

11 . The apparatus of claim 10 , wherein the venturi component is connectable to the exhaust port of the fluid mixing module.

12 . The apparatus of claim 10 , wherein the fluid mixing module is connectable to the central opening defined in the media adapter cap.

13 . The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the check valve comprises a silicon duckbill check valve.

14 . The apparatus of claim 1 , further comprising a mixing column displaced within the canister.

15 . An apparatus comprising:

a canister comprising a venturi component, wherein the venturi component comprises a check valve and a channel defined in the venturi component coupling the check valve to an interior cavity of the canister; and

a plenum fluidly coupled to the venturi component via the channel defined in the venturi component such that the check valve only permits fluid to travel from the plenum into the canister.

16 . The apparatus of claim 15 , further comprising a fluid mixing module displaced within the canister, the fluid mixing module comprising an exhaust port defined thereon.

17 . The apparatus of claim 16 , wherein the venturi component is connectable to the exhaust port of the fluid mixing module.

18 . The apparatus of claim 16 , further comprising a mixing column displaced within the fluid mixing module.

19 . The apparatus of claim 15 , further comprising a mixing column displaced within the canister.

20 . A fluid filtration system comprising:

a manifold having a manifold inlet port and a manifold outlet port, a check valve disposed for fluidly sealing at least one of said ports, a flow inlet channel leading to the check valve, the manifold inlet port being operably fluidly coupled to a fluid source for receiving a flow of fluid and to a flow inlet channel, the manifold outlet port being fluidly coupled to a flow outlet channel;

the flow inlet channel having an intake opening for directing fluid conveyed therein, the intake opening defined in a margin of a depending inlet boss of the manifold; and

an outlet boss depending from the inlet boss and having a circumferential outer margin, the outlet boss also having an outlet opening for directing fluid conveyed therein, the outlet opening being fluidly coupled to the flow outlet channel, the flow outlet channel fluidly coupling the outlet opening to the manifold outlet port; and

a canister comprising a venturi component, wherein the venturi component comprises a check valve and a channel defined in the venturi component coupling the check valve to an interior cavity of the canister.
