The present invention presents a filtration system with an integrated manifold valve. The filtration system employs only one pivotal component—the pivoting of the manifold. The manifold valve includes a dual aperture design for a two-fold alignment scheme with the ingress and egress lines of the fluid source. The invention is free of multi-component rotary valve with internal, rotatable parts, or an activation component, such as a handle, for initiating the rotary valve, allowing the user to rotate the rotational components thereof. The reduction in moveable components in this design reduces the likelihood of failure and increases the reliability of the filtration system.

1. A filtration system having filtrate and bypass modes comprising: a filter cartridge assembly including:a filter media;a sump;a filter cap;a fastener; andan ingress port and an egress port extending from said filter cap and in fluid communication with said filter media;a mounting bracket having left and right sides with respective left and right fluid ports, said fluid ports in fluid communication with a manifold and with external fluid lines, said mounting bracket supporting said filter cartridge assembly and said manifold;said manifold in fluid communication with said filter cartridge assembly and said mounting bracket fluid ports such that said manifold includes at least first and second apertures on a left side, and corresponding at least first and second apertures on a right side, said manifold left and right side first apertures in fluid communication with said filter cartridge assembly ingress and egress ports, respectively, and with said mounting bracket fluid ports when said filtration system is in said filtrate mode whereby fluid flow traverses through said filter cartridge assembly, and said manifold left and right second apertures are in fluid communication with said mounting bracket fluid ports when said filtration system is in said bypass mode whereby fluid flow bypasses said filter cartridge assembly. 2. The filtration system of claim 1 including said manifold pivotally connected to said mounting bracket such that when said manifold is pivoted to a first position relative to said mounting bracket said filtration system is placed in said filtrate mode, and when said manifold is pivoted to a second position relative to said mounting bracket said filtration system is placed in said bypass mode. 3. The filtration system of claim 1 wherein said at least first and second apertures on said manifold left side are adjacent one another, and said at least first and second apertures on said manifold right side are adjacent one another. 4. The filtration system of claim 1 including a circumferential resilient seal about said at least first and second apertures on said manifold left and right sides, respectively. 5. The filtration system of claim 2 wherein said first apertures on said manifold left and right sides are positioned vertically higher than said second apertures, respectively, such that said first apertures are in fluid communication with said mounting bracket left and right fluid ports when said filter cartridge assembly longitudinal axis is vertical and said manifold is pivoted to said first position, whereby said filtration system is placed in said filtrate mode. 6. The filtration system of claim 2 wherein said first apertures on said manifold left and right sides are positioned vertically higher than said adjacent second apertures, respectively, such that said second apertures are in fluid communication with said mounting bracket left and right fluid ports when said filter cartridge assembly is rotated, pivoting said manifold to said second position, whereby said filtration system is placed in said bypass mode. 7. The filtration system of claim 3 wherein said manifold's at least first and second apertures collectively form a kidney-shaped outer boundary on said manifold's left and right sides, respectively. 8. The filtration system of claim 1 including: curved support ledges on said left and right sides of said mounting bracket; andat least one cartridge boss on said sump. 9. The filtration system of claim 8 including said mounting bracket curved support ledges in slidable contact with said at least one cartridge boss when said filtration system is placed in filtrate mode. 10. The filtration system of claim 1 wherein said manifold includes at least a left and right pivot boss in rotational contact with a respective left and right pivot boss receiver on said mounting bracket left and right sides. 11. The filtration system of claim 8 wherein said mounting bracket comprises at least two connecting parts, a left side mounting bracket and a right did mounting bracket, securing said at least one cartridge boss of said sump when said at least two connecting parts are connected together. 12. The filtration system of claim 1 wherein said mounting bracket includes at least one through-hole for securing said filtration system to a support structure. 13. The filtration system of claim 2 wherein said manifold and said mounting bracket include either a guide track and shoulder bolt connection for slidably mating said manifold to said mounting bracket, said guide track guiding said manifold pivoting from said first position to said second position. 14. The filtration system of claim 1 including a filter lid having a filter lid top surface adjacent to, and in contact with, said manifold, and a filter lid bottom surface adjacent to, and in contact with, a top surface of said filter cap. 15. The filtration system of claim 14 including said filter lid comprising at least one rib or groove formed on, or attached to, said filter lid bottom surface, and said filter cap comprising at least one corresponding groove or rib formed on, or attached to, said filter cap top surface, such that said bottom surface of said filter lid adjoins said top surface of said filter cap by mating said at least one rib and groove respectively. 16. The filtration system of claim 14 including said filter lid comprising at least one extended shape or embedded shape formed on, or attached to, said filter lid bottom surface, and said filter cap comprising at least one corresponding embedded shape or extending shape formed on, or attached to, said filter cap top surface, such that said bottom surface of said filter lid adjoins said top surface of said filter cap by mating said at least one extended and embedded shape respectively. 17. The filtration system of claim 14 including said filter lid comprising at least one rib or groove formed on, or attached to, said filter lid top surface, and said manifold having a bottom surface comprising at least one corresponding groove or rib formed on, or attached to, said manifold bottom surface, such that said top surface of said filter lid adjoins said bottom surface of said manifold by mating said at least one rib and groove respectively.
