The tubular body has a head member connected to the open end thereof and the tubular body has an engaging tube which is connected to the outlet of the filter member. The head has a separating plate through which two apertures are defined and the engaging tube communicates one of the apertures. A valve device is pivotably received in the head member and has a first hole and a second hole defined through therein which alternately communicate with the two holes of the head member by operating the valve device so that the water filtered by the filter member flows from the first hole and the water not filtered flows from the second hole.
