1. A water treatment facility for treating raw water and delivering the treated water to a plumbing network, or at least one storage tank, the system including:

  • logic control means,inlet flow control means,an inlet,at least one flow meter,a pre-filter,a first tank,first tank outflow control means,a plurality of filter modules,a plurality of sensors,a disinfectant system,outflow control means,an outlet,wherein the rate of flow of raw water into the facility is controlled by the inlet flow control means under the control of the logic control means, and the flow rate is measured by the flow meter and the flow rate data is fed back to the logic control means, and the raw water is then passed through the pre-filter and is then temporarily stored in the first tank that acts as a buffer tank, and sensors within the first tank feedback data via the logic control means to the inlet flow control means, so that the water level in the first tank is kept within a desired maximum and minimum level, and the water from the first tank is then delivered to the plurality of filter modules via the first tank outflow control means, under the control of the logic control means, and the plurality of filter modules are arranged so that the flow can be configured to flow through all the filter modules simultaneously, or any one or more filter modules exclusively, and the flow path through the filter module(s) can be arranged to flow through the filter modules either sequentially or in parallel, all under the control of the logic control means, and a controlled outflow from the plurality of filter modules under the control of the logic control means via the outflow control means flows out of the system through the outlet into the plumbing system that the water treatment facility is providing treated water into, and wherein the disinfectant system is capable of producing and delivering a disinfectant agent into the outflow, either within the system, or into the pipework that connects the system to the plumbing network, or the storage tank(s) that is connected to the outlet of the water treatment system on an as needed basis, under the control of the logic control means.
