A water purification system having a porous anode electrode ( 21 ) and a porous cathode electrode ( 20 ), each of which is made of graphite, at least one metal oxide, and an ion-exchange, cross-linked, polarizable polymer, and optionally comprises microchannels. Disposed between the electrodes is a non-electron conductive, fluid permeable separator element ( 22 ), whereby wastewater is able to flow from one electrode to the other electrode. The electrodes and separator may be disposed within a housing ( 23 ) having a wastewater inlet opening ( 24 ), and exhaust waste outlet opening ( 26 ) and a purified water outlet opening ( 25 ). In this way, components of the system are easily replaced should the need arise.
