Here, the upper stage and the lower stage are defined by the flow direction of water on one set water path, and are opposite to each other. The water outlet pipeline of the sub-module is connected to the water outlet of the filter element sub-module and used for outputting the outlet water treated by the filter element sub-module, or conveying the outlet water treated by the filter element sub-module to other water production modules.
