A faucet mountable water conditioning devices include a relatively simple configuration that allows for reduced cost, easy installation, and a pleasing aesthetic. In one or more implementations, a faucet mountable water conditioning device includes a universal faucet mounting mechanism. The universal faucet mounting mechanism allows the faucet mountable water conditioning device to connect and seal to a wide variety of faucet designs and sizes simply by pressing the mounting mechanism over the faucet. The faucet mountable water conditioning device can also include a base configured to hold a water conditioning source. In one or more implementations a connector can couple the base to the mounting mechanism; thereby, allowing the base to move between active and inactive positions.

1. A faucet mountable water conditioning device, comprising: a. a mounting mechanism defining an inlet, the mounting mechanism including an outer wall and an annular inner wall that tapers radially inward, wherein the annular inner wall comprises a resilient material and is configured to conform to, and seal about, a plurality of different sized faucets;b. a base coupled to the mounting mechanism, the base having a side wall and a bottom surface defining a compartment sized and configured to hold a water conditioning liquid;c. one or more outlet holes extending through the bottom surface; andd. wherein the base comprises one or more shields configured to selectively cover the one or more outlet holes and the one or more shields are configured to automatically open when the base is secured to a connector. 2. The faucet mountable water conditioning device as recited in claim 1, further comprising one or more spacers extending from the bottom surface, the one or more spacers being configured to space the water conditioning liquid from the bottom surface. 3. The faucet mountable water conditioning device as recited in claim 1, further comprising a plurality of ribs extending between the outer wall and the annular inner wall of the mounting mechanism. 4. The faucet mountable water conditioning device as recited in claim 1, wherein the annular inner wall is devoid of threads. 5. The faucet mountable water conditioning device as recited in claim 1, further comprising a connector coupling the base to the mounting mechanism, the connector being configured to position the conditioning liquid in an active position in line with the mounting mechanism, and an inactive position, in which the conditioning liquid is out of alignment with the mounting mechanism. 6. The faucet mountable water conditioning device as recited in claim 5, wherein the connector comprises a horizontal pivot configured to allow the base to rotate to a position vertically adjacent the mounting mechanism. 7. The faucet mountable water conditioning device as recited in claim 1, wherein at least a portion of the base is transparent. 8. The faucet mountable water conditioning device as recited in claim 1, wherein the bottom surface of the base has a larger area than an area of the inlet defined by the mounting mechanism. 9. The faucet mountable water conditioning device as recited in claim 1, further comprising a plurality of outlet holes extending through the side wall, whereby fluid exiting the plurality of outlet holes is directed radially outward of the inlet defined by the mounting mechanism. 10. A faucet mountable water conditioning device, comprising: a. a mounting mechanism defining an inlet for receiving a stream of water from a faucet, the mounting mechanism including an outer wall and an annular inner wall that tapers radially inward, wherein the annular inner wall comprises a resilient material and is configured to conform to, and seal about, a plurality of different sized faucets;b. a base having a side wall, a bottom surface, and one or more outlet holes extending through one or more of the side wall and bottom surface, wherein the base comprises one or more shields configured to selectively cover the one or more outlet holes and the one or more shields are configured to automatically open when the base is secured to a connector; andc. the connector coupling the base to the mounting mechanism, the connector being configured to allow the base move between an active position and an inactive position;d. wherein, in the active position, the base is positioned within a liquid flow path, and an inactive position, the base is positioned away from the liquid flow path. 11. The faucet mountable water conditioning device as recited in claim 10, wherein the base defines a generally hollow compartment sized and configured to hold a water conditioning tablet. 12. The faucet mountable water conditioning device as recited in claim 11, further comprising: a plurality of bottom spacers extending from the bottom surface of the basewherein the bottom spacers are configured to prevent the water conditioning tablet from covering one or more outlet holes extending through the bottom surface and to allow a tablet not to contact standing water when a faucet is turned off. 13. The faucet mountable water conditioning device as recited in claim 10, wherein the bottom surface of the base has a larger area than an area of the inlet defined by the mounting mechanism. 14. The faucet mountable water conditioning device as recited in claim 10, further comprising a plurality of outlet holes positioned at the intersection of the side wall and bottom surface whereby fluid exiting the plurality of outlet holes is directed radially outward of the inlet defined by the mounting mechanism. 15. The faucet mountable water conditioning device as recited in claim 10, wherein at least a portion of the base is transparent. 16. The faucet mountable water conditioning device as recited in claim 10, further comprising: a. a grill extending across the base;b. wherein the grill is configured to maintain a water conditioning tablet within the base when in the inactive position.
