Patent attributes
Water conditioning systems are shown and described. The water conditioning systems include a water conditioner having a plurality of conditioning stages along a flow path between an inlet and an outlet that are configured to condition water. The plurality of conditioning stages include a pre-filter stage, a feed pump, a reverse osmosis stage, and a post-filter stage. A pure water valve is arranged between the feed pump and the reverse osmosis stage and a boost valve is arranged between the feed pump and the outlet. The pure water valve is configured to selectively allow water to flow from the feed pump, through the reverse osmosis stage and the post-filter stage, prior to exiting through the outlet, and the boost valve is configured to selectively allow water to flow from the boost pump directly to the outlet and bypassing the reverse osmosis stage and the post-filter.
