1. A water filter comprising:
a) a pressure source:
b} a housing enclosing a central cavity, the housing comprising:
an inlet to facilitate inflow of water into the housing, and an outlet opening to facilitate outflow of the water from the housing;
a plurality of partitions forming a plurality of compartments, disposed along a flow direction of the water, each partition defining at least one opening having a predetermined size at a first end of the partition, configured in parallel at predefined positions with the housing, wherein the at least one opening in each of two adjacent partitions are oriented in opposite directions from each other such that the at least one opening at the first end associated with one partition faces a second end of the other adjacent partition; and
a plurality of filtration media containers, each containing a filtration media, each of the filtration media containers disposed in a corresponding compartment, wherein each filtration media container is disposed in a predetermined compartment configured to reduce pressure drop along the water flow pathway,
the housing comprising five partitions forming six compartments, and wherein a first compartment closest to the water inlet comprises an activated carbon block filtration media; a second compartment downstream from the first compartment comprises a plurality of quartz particles filtration media, the plurality of quarts particles having a predetermined size and shape; a third compartment downstream from the second compartment comprises a plurality of active alumina particles, the plurality of active alumina particles having a predetermined size and shape; a fourth compartment downstream from the third compartment comprises a plurality of nanoparticles of iron oxide (Fe2O3) and a plurality of granulated carbon particles, the plurality of granulated carbon particles having a predetermined porosity; a fifth compartment downstream from the fourth compartment comprises a copper mesh forming a filtration media container and wherein a filtration media therein is an open cell polypropylene sponge having a predetermined porosity; and a sixth compartment downstream from the fifth compartment comprises a pair of magnets, configured to form a magnetic field operable to remove the iron oxide nanoparticles.
