Disclosed herein is a filter assembly including a hollow external housing which includes an inlet (110) and an outlet (120) and has an inner wall of an open bottom on which a plurality of uneven portions (130) circularly arranged at certain intervals are formed, an inner cap (200) which is formed in a cylindrical shape with an open bottom corresponding to an internal hollow shape of the external housing and moves up and down along the inner wall of the external housing (100), a filter (300) which includes a head portion (310) inserted into the bottom of the inner cap (200) and forms a fitting groove (320) on a side of the head portion (310), an elastic member (400) which is disposed between an upper portion of the inner wall of the external housing (100) and an upper portion of an outer surface of the inner cap (200) and has a repulsive force which acts when the head portion (310) of the filter (300) receives a force from a top in the inner cap (200), and a filter fastening unit (500) which includes a plurality of pressurized sections (510) disposed on a lower circumference of the inner cap (200) corresponding to the plurality of the uneven portions (130). Here, when the filter (300) is inserted into the inner cap (200), the plurality of pressurized sections (510) are pressurized by the plurality of uneven portions (130) formed on the inner wall of the plurality of pressurized sections (510) and steps formed at ends while protruding inside the plurality of pressurized sections (510) are fixed to the fitting groove (320) of the filter (300). Accordingly, in the filter assembly an uneven portion is formed on an inner wall of a hollow external housing and a filter fastening unit which includes a pressurized section pressurized by the uneven portion is formed around an inner cap which moves up and down along an inner surface of the external housing to firmly fasten a filter.
