A filtration faucet system includes a filter housing for mounting
underneath a faucet countertop and a filter cartridge. The filter housing
has a filter compartment, a water inlet adapted for operatively linking
to a water source, a filtered water outlet adapted for operatively
linking to a first water opening of a faucet device, and an unfiltered
water outlet adapted for operatively linking to a second water opening of
the faucet device. The filter cartridge is supported in the filter
compartment and is adapted not only for filtering water flowing from the
water inlet to the filtered water outlet before the water exits at the
first water opening but also for guiding the water directly flowing from
the water inlet to the unfiltered water outlet before the water exits at
the second water opening.
