• a mixing chamber which receives at least two water streams from at least one water source,
• an outlet to said mixing chamber for discharging water mixed from said at least two water streams,
• a filter assembly adapted for insertion in at least one water line in communication with said outlet from the mixing chamber;
• an outlet line from said filter assembly communicating with said mixing faucet;
• whereupon water exiting said filter assembly travels via said water line from the filter assembly to said outlet of said mixing faucet.

A method of filtering water delivered to a mixing faucet from a water supply, using an assembly including a mixing faucet having a faucet and a mixing chamber capable of receiving cold and hot water therein, said faucet body having a lower end which receives at least two inlet lines in communication with the mixing chamber and which deliver water to the chamber;

• the method comprising the steps of:
• a) taking at least one filter assembly and placing the at least one filter assembly in a water supply line capable of delivering mixed hot and cold water from the mixing chamber of the faucet;
• b) allowing water mixed in said mixing chamber to pass through the at least one filter assembly;
• c) allowing mixed hot and cold water to exit the at least one filter assembly so that water passing through the filter is hot and/or cold water so that any water discharged from the faucet is filtered.
