Disclosed is a manifold for supplying fluid to a filter cartridge and discharging treated fluid to a desired place. The manifold possesses inlet and outlet conduits and a housing. A first valve assembly is provided in the inlet conduit to control fluid flow upon changing the filter cartridge and has a stem valve. When the filter cartridge is coupled to the manifold, as the stem valve comes into contact with one flange and pressed thereby, fluid can flow through the inlet conduit into the filter cartridge. The housing is defined with a flow bore through which filtered water can flow and a reservoir in which the filtered water flowing through the flow bore is stored. Each outlet conduit is provided with a port, and a second valve assembly is provided to the port. A pipe jointing assembly is provided to the port to allow pipes to be easily jointed and disjointed. Flow control means is provided in the reservoir of the housing and includes a flow control unit. The flow control unit has a sinking surface, an opposite flat surface and a flow control hole defined through a center portion thereof. When fluid is discharged from the reservoir toward the outlet conduit, as a fluid pressure is applied to the flow control unit, the sinking surface and the opposite flat surface are displaced such that they are reversed in their surface contours.
