A system for enhancing water is described. The system includes a housing
with an inlet and an outlet, source water at the inlet, which can flow
through a filter component in the housing and thus become treated water,
and at least one enhancement module that can dispense an enhancement into
the treated water as it flows through the outlet. Water can flow through
the system only by the force of gravity, pressure in a building's water
line, and/or hand pumps. Enhancement that can be used in the system
include flavorings, dyes, minerals, vitamins, herbal supplements,
nutritional supplements, phytonutrients, probiotics, homoepathic
remedies, amino acids, enzymes, hormones, standard prescription
medications, and over-the-counter medications, and combinations thereof.
A control is also provided, through which a consumer can regulate an
amount of enhancement that is added to the treated water.
