1. A water filter assembly that defines an axial direction, a radial direction, and a circumferential direction, the water filter assembly comprising:
a casing that defines a chamber for receipt of water to be filtered; a filtering media disposed within the chamber of the casing for filtering a flow of water through the chamber of the casing; a pair of caps mounted to the filtering media, the caps positioned at opposite axial ends of the filtering media, at least one of the caps having a projection that extends along the axial direction; a manifold defining an outlet for directing unfiltered water into the chamber of the casing and an inlet for receiving filtered water from the chamber of the casing, the casing selectively mounted to the manifold; and a pair of check valves, a first one of the check valves mounted to the manifold at the outlet of the manifold, a second one of the check valves mounted to the manifold at the inlet of the manifold, the first one of the check valves configured for regulating a flow of water through the outlet of the manifold by selectively adjusting between an open position and a closed position, the first one of the check valves selectively engaging the projection of the at least one of the caps in order to adjust the first one of the check valves between the open position and the closed position. |
