One common construction utilizes a semipermeable membrane module in which a multiple layer member comprising a semipermeable membrane sheet between layers of a porous fabric and a plastic screen is spirally wound around a rigid, hollow cylindrical plastic tube. The module is appropriately sealed within a housing and unpurified water is forced to flow under pressure in an axial direction through the module where system pressure forces purified water radially through the membrane layers while retaining the selectively objectionable dissolved solids. The filtered purified water travels spirally toward the central product water tube which is provided with a series of radial holes allowing the filtered water to be collected in the center of the
