1. A manifold assembly (120) for receiving filtered water from a plurality of filter plates (110) comprising:
a body (121) defining a hollow cavity (122) for receiving filtered water from the plurality of filter plates (110);
a plurality of elongated protrusions (123) vertically extending from, and along, a top surface of the body (121), each of the plurality of elongated protrusions (123) being parallel to each other and being uniformly spaced from any adjacent elongated protrusions (123), defining a plurality of grooves (124) each wide enough to receive one of the plurality of filter plates (110);
at least two fastening holes (128) extending through each of the plurality of elongated protrusions (123), each of the two fastening holes (128) in adjacent of elongated protrusions (123) being axially aligned such that a fastener (125) may be inserted through all of the aligned fastening holes (128);
a plurality of inlets (126) for introducing filtered water from the plurality of filter plates (110) into the hollow cavity (122); and
an outlet (127) extending through a bottom wall of the body (121) and positioned so that the hollow cavity (122) could drain by gravity through the outlet (127).
