- the purified water discharge unit 1220 closes the purified water C flow path so that the purified water C is not discharged to the outside.
- the washing water control valve 1234 opens the passage of the washing water W2 and controls the purified water C to be moved to the washing module 1230 .
- the washing module 1230 supplies the washing water W2 to the control valve 1215 .
- the control valve 1215 closes the flow path of the raw water W1 and opens the flow path through which the washing water W2 moves to the composite filter 900 .
- the washing water W2 passes through the composite filter 900, the composite filter 900 is washed by the washing water W2. And, the washing water W2 is discharged to the outside through the washing water discharge valve 1250.
- the purified water C is used as the washing water W2 in this way, the washing efficiency of the composite filter 900 is improved.
