A clothes treating apparatus comprising:

• a washing machine including a washing machine housing, a tub inside the washing machine housing, and a drain device configured to discharge water from the tub to outside of the washing machine housing;
• and
• a filter apparatus disposed outside the washing machine housing and connected to the drain device, the filter apparatus including:
• a filter case including:
• a case inlet configured so that water from the drain device is flowable through the case inlet into the filter case,
• a case outlet configured so that water in the filter case is flowable through the case outlet out of the filter case, and
• a remaining water guide configured to be inclined downward from the case outlet toward the case inlet;
• a filter detachably mountable inside the filter case so that water flowing through the case inlet is flowable through a surface of the filter to filter foreign substances from the water, and then to the case outlet;
• and
• a circuitry including:
• a controller configured to control the filter apparatus, and
• a power supply part configured to receive power to power the filter apparatus,
• wherein the remaining water guide is positioned below the filter while the filter is mounted inside the filter case, and
