1. A filtration system comprising:
a plurality of filters, the plurality of filters comprising a first group of filters and a second group of filters, the first group of filters comprising at least two filters and the second group of filters comprising at least two further filters;
a first operating element movable from a default position to a least one isolating position for isolating at least one filter of the first group of filters from the filtration system;
a second operating element movable from a default position to at least one isolating position for isolating at least one filter of the second group of filters from the filtration system; and
a mechanical blocking mechanism that is actuated by a movement of the first operating element out of its default position to block the second operating element in its default position and actuated by a movement of the second operating element out of its default position to block the first operating element in its default position,
wherein, in the default position of the first operating element, all the filters of the first group of filters are connected to the filtration system,
wherein, in the default position of the first operating element, all the filters of the first group of filters are connected to the filtration system, and, in the default position of the second operating element, all the filters of the second group of filters are connected to the filtration system, and
wherein the first operating element and the second operating elements are each configured to selectively isolate at least one first filter out of the respective group of filters from the filtration system in a first isolating position and at least one second filter out of the respective group of filters in a second isolating position.
