Abstract
A water purifying cartridge including a double structure container having an outer container and an inner cylinder disposed within the outer container, an inlet port for flowing water into an external space defined by the outer container and the inner cylinder, and an outlet port for discharging water from the internal space formed within the inner cylinder, the external space and the internal space communicating with each other through a water channel formed in the inner cylinder and separated by a filter, the external space being filled with activated carbon and the internal space being loaded with separation- and filtration membranes, whereby water flowed into the external space from the raw water supplying portion via the inlet port being arranged to pass through the activated carbon, then introduced into the internal space via the water channel, then purified during the passage through the separation- and filtration membranes, and then discharged from the purified water outlet portion via the outlet port.
