The invention provides a filtration system with a rotating core driving thimble opening and closing water passage, comprising a casing, a filter and a connector, wherein the filter and the connector are connected and fixed in an inner cavity of the casing, the casing consists of an upper cover of the casing and a lower cover of the casing, which are connected via a connecting member; a connector core of the present invention has a groove and a boss thereon, the connector core, a water intake thimble and a water outtake thimble are tightly pressed by a spring, when the connector is rotated, the water intake thimble and the water outtake thimbles are raised from the position of the groove to the position of the boss, and the water passage is opened. When disassembled, the connector is lowered from the position of the boss to the position of the groove, and the water passage is closed, preventing the leakage of the connector water due to the removal of a filter element. Due to the action of the spring, even if the water intake thimble and the water outtake thimble are worn seriously, the water intake sealing ring and the water outtake thimble sealing ring is attached to a water intake thimble sleeve and a water outtake thimble sleeve, realizing the sealing and not causing the leakage phenomenon.

The present invention relates to a water purifier filter, and a water purifier including the same. The water purifier filter and the water purifier including the same according to the present invention include a filter housing including an inlet and an outlet, and a filter module provided in the filter housing to purify water introduced through the inlet and to supply the water to the outlet, and a material of the filter module includes sodium orthotitanate (Na.sub.4TiO.sub.4) to remove a heavy metal under water, thereby effectively removing a heavy metal including cadmium under water.

A method is described for treating activated carbon configured to be included in a carbon block of a filter for a water purifier. The method includes: inserting the activated carbon into a chamber; injecting ozone generated from an ozone generator into the chamber, and applying pressure to the chamber; and modifying a surface of the activated carbon inserted into the chamber based on applying the pressure to the chamber that holds the ozone and the activated carbon.

An eco-friendly water filtration apparatus. The apparatus may comprise a lid comprising openings that allow water to flow into the apparatus, and an enclosure that is open at one end and comprises openings at the opposing end that allow water to flow out of the apparatus. The enclosure may be configured to receive a pod of activated carbon, while allowing removal of the pod, and the lid may be configured to attach to and detach from the enclosure at the enclosure's open end.

A multilayer filter screen and the manufacturing method thereof are provided. The multilayer filter screen includes a conductive powder layer and a plastic powder layer. The conductive powder layer and the plastic powder layer are stacked up through a solidifying process. Therefore, the mechanical structural strength and the anti-static electricity function of the multilayer filter screen are improved.

Provided is a water-purification cartridge to be replaceably accommodated in an accommodating portion of a water purifier. The cartridge includes activated carbon that removes impurities from water, forms, within the water purifier, a raw water flow path through which raw water flows downstream without passing through the activated carbon and a water purification flow path through which raw water flows downstream while passing through the activated carbon, and further includes a buffer portion that is disposed, within the water purifier, at a position upstream of flow path switching valves for selecting discharge from the raw water flow path or discharge from the water purification flow path and downstream of the activated carbon and that cuts off a water hammer propagating from the flow path switching valves to the activated carbon.

Methods of forming solid carbon products include disposing nanostructure carbon in a container, disposing the container in a press, compressing the nanostructured carbon within the container, and fastening a lid to the container to form a filter.
