Abstract: A sewage filtering and purifying device has at least one purifying module having multiple filters and multiple electrolyzing assemblies connected in series. Each electrolyzing assembly has a flow pipe and two electrodes disposed inside the flow pipe. The two electrodes are configured to be polarized for respectively being a cathode and an anode. When treated by the sewage filtering and purifying device, sewage first flows through and is filtered by the multiple filters; then the sewage flows through and is electrolyzed by the multiple electrolyzing assemblies. Since the sewage is filtered by the multiple filters first, the sewage can be electrolyzed better in the multiple electrolyzing assemblies, and harmful substances in the sewage can be oxidized or reduced and transformed to harmless substances. Thereby, the sewage is purified better.
