Abstract

A water filtration manifold integration device of a water filter has a body having multiple apertures and multiple water pathways respectively communicating with the corresponding apertures. By inserting in pins or inlet and outlet of each purification element in the corresponding apertures, all purification elements can be collectively mounted on the water filtration manifold integration device, thereby facilitating assembly and maintenance. Additionally, by arranging the apertures on a top of the body and the inlets and outlets of the corresponding purification elements on a side to replace multiple connection hoses of conventional water filters, the water filter can be organized to be neat inside and reduces human error during assembly of the water filter. The water filtration manifold integration device can serve as a standard part for a water filter.
