A microbial filter for removing contaminants and disinfecting a fluid flowing therethrough includes a cylindrical filter screen (26) disposed upstream from a disinfectant means (54) such that contaminants greater than a predetermined size are removed from the fluid as it flows through the filter in order to reduce the organic load on the disinfectant. The disinfectant (54) is preferably contained between a pair of filter screens (48, 50) to allow the device to function in vertical or non-vertical positions. <IMAGE> |
