Filter unit lifting system

A lifting system for a water filter unit, comprising

• at least two lifting pillars, at least two sleeves, a slide connector, and a self-centering support for each sleeve, wherein
• the sleeves comprises at least two filter unit connectors for attaching the sleeves to the corners of a water filter, the length axis of the sleeves being perpendicular the mounting surface of the filter, and
• the lifting pillars are arranged to fit inside the sleeves, wherein the length axis of the lifting pillars coincide with the length axis of the sleeves,
• such that the sleeves may slide along the lifting pillars, thereby forming at least two lifting pillar and sleeve pairs, wherein the at least two pairs are connected to at least one lifting aid, whereby the lifting system may lift a water filter unit from an operative position to a raised position, and
• the slide connector of the water filter unit comprises a filter side connector for connection to the water filter unit arranged for connection to an external source or outlet thereby forming a fluid connection between the water filter unit and the external source or outlet when the water filter unit is lowered into the operative position, and
• the self-centering support comprises a profile tube portion, and a top plate, wherein the profile tube portion fits inside the sleeve, and the lifting pillar rests on the top plate when said lifting pillar is inserted into said sleeve.
