Abstract
A water treatment system for filtering and treating contaminants in water includes a UV lamp assembly coaxially received within a filter assembly . A valve system prevents water from being spilled from the filter assembly when the filter assembly is removed from the base unit and the lamp assembly so that the lamp and filter assemblies are independently replaceable. The valve system includes a check valve controlling flow between the lamp and filter assemblies.
