A counter top reverse osmosis water purification system, suitable for home use, is connected to a water supply and contains a closed fluid treatment circuit extending to a water outlet. The closed fluid circuit flows through a plurality of replaceable water treatment modules mounted on a flowboard and each having a specific water treatment function, such as the removal of a particular material from the water by the use of reverse osmosis, filtration, carbon adsorption, ion exchange or the addition of a chemical to balance the desired water conditions. Preferably the circuit also includes traversing a radiation device, for example an ultraviolet light, for the purpose of sanitizing the water.

[ What is claimed is:] [1.] A method for treating and purifying water on site, including reverse osmosis, comprising:providing a flowboard having a plurality of mounting blocks opening from a top surface thereof and flow means interconnecting said blocks within said flowboard;providing a plurality of water treatment cartridges, each said cartridge being single ended, readily received in and removed from a respective mounting block, and adapted to treat a specific aspect of the water to be purified, at least one of said modules providing reverse osmosis water treatment, at least one cartridge capable of physically treating water by removing suspended and colloidal matter, and at least one cartridge capable of chemically treating the water by the removal of undesirable or all chemicals therefrom thereby improving the purity and taste of the water; anddirecting a flow of water sequentially through said cartridges where the water will be treated so as to remove any impurities therein.
