Abstract:
1. A water purifying system comprising: a valve assembly which includes a valve cover defining an external appearance of the water purifying system and including an inlet and an outlet provided at an upper part of the valve cover, a head member mounted to be movable in up and down directions within the valve cover to form an inflow path and an outflow path respectively in fluid communication with the inlet and the outlet, and a pair of valve units mounted to the head member to open and close the inflow path and the outflow path, respectively; a filter assembly removably connected to the valve assembly and comprising a filter therein, wherein the filter assembly linearly advances the head member when the filter assembly is connected to the valve assembly through a linear motion, so that a fluid passing through the inlet is passed through the filter and then guided to the outlet, and the head member is retreated linearly when the filter assembly is separated from the valve assembly, so that the fluid passing through the inlet is guided to the outlet without passing through the filter.
