A filtration module (10) is provided which includes a manifold (12), a
filter cartridge (16) and a bowl (14) which houses the filter cartridge
(16). The filter cartridge (16) and bowl (14) are connected to each other
by a flange (15) on an end cap (30) of the filter cartridge (16) which
fits into collar (34) on the bowl to form a unitary construction. The
filter cartridge (16) and bowl (14) are in fluid communication with the
manifold (12) in a manner which prevents mixing of a fluid feed to the
module (10) and a permeate removed from the module (10).
