Faucet filter system for use with a faucet connected to a water supply conduit, said system comprising: a unitary manifold constructed and arranged for connection to the supply conduit and for providing selective fluid communication with the water supply conduit and a filter inlet line; a filter apparatus in fluid communication with said manifold through said filter inlet line and a filter outlet line in fluid communication between a faucet inlet conduit; at least one remote actuated valve associated with said manifold and mounted to a main manifold housing being constructed and arranged for selectively controlling water flow in said manifold to said filter apparatus; a wireless controller disposed remotely from said filter apparatus and said manifold and configured for actuating said at least one remote actuated valve between a first position, in which water flows from the water supply conduit through the faucet inlet conduit, and a second position, in which water flows from the water supply conduit, through said filter inlet line, to said filter apparatus, through said filter outlet line, and through said faucet inlet conduit; said system being configured such that depending on a valve actuation of said at least one remote actuated valve, between said first and second positions, either filtered or unfiltered water is sent to the faucet; said manifold and associated said main manifold housing define a first passageway for providing fluid communication between the water supply conduit and the faucet inlet conduit, and a second passageway for providing fluid communication between the water supply conduit and said filter apparatus, when said at least one remote actuated valve is in said first position, water flows through said first passageway directly to said faucet inlet conduit, and in said second position, water flows through said water supply conduit through said second passageway in said manifold and to said filter apparatus; said manifold includes a water supply coupling configured for threaded connection to a water supply shutoff valve, and a faucet coupling configured for threaded connection between said first passageway and said faucet inlet conduit; said manifold further includes a user actuated manual bypass valve for selectively controlling flow between the water supply conduit and said faucet inlet conduit; and said manifold further includes a flow switch in said first passageway and electronically connected to said wireless controller so that said at least one remote actuated valve can be activated to said second position only when water is flowing through said first passageway and out said manifold; the system being arranged to actuate said at least one remote actuated valve to said first position from said second position upon water flow being turned off at the faucet. a unitary manifold constructed and arranged for connection to the supply conduit and for providing selective fluid communication with the water supply conduit and a filter inlet line;
