WATER PURIFIER

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To increase mounting strength between a filter member and a water purifying cartridge assembly having a plurality of nozzles in mounting a water purifier body with both when they are attached and to absorb a variance in dimension among the plurality of the nozzles in manufacturing the water purifying cartridge assembly. SOLUTION: The water purifier 10 comprises (1) the water purifying cartridge assembly 15 having at least the filter member 13, the raw water inflow nozzle 24 and the purified water outflow nozzle 24 and (2) a water purifier body 12 provided with a raw water supply flow passage 61 and purified water discharge flow passage 51 respectively separately engaged with the raw water inflow nozzle and the purified water outflow nozzle of the water purifying cartridge assembly. The water purifier is provided with locking means 32 and 33 adapted to prevent coupling of the water purifying cartridge assembly 15 and the water purifier body from being disengaged between both, and a mounting position of the raw water supply passage 61 of the water purifier body is made movable by a spring member (not shown in the figure) possessed by a retaining ring 66.
