Abstract

A horizontal counter-top water filter adapted to reside behind a sink faucet fixture. The water filter has a horizontal housing defining a fluid inlet chamber and a fluid filtration chamber, an inlet end cap which is configured to conduct an incoming fluid flow from the fluid inlet chamber to the fluid filtration chamber and an outlet end cap configured to receive a filtered fluid flow from the fluid filtration chamber to a fluid outlet spigot. The water filter is additionally fitted with a diverter valve and fluid conduit, which conducts diverted fluid from a sink faucet into the water filter.
