In one embodiment, the water treatment unit comprises a unit housing comprising an electrocoagulation chamber; a replaceable electrocoagulation cartridge removably retained within said electrocoagulation chamber and including a plurality of electrically conductive electrocoagulation plates; unit control means; a unit electric circuit electrically connected to said unit control means and adapted to be electrically connected to an electric power source; and a water inlet port in said unit housing and a water outlet port in said unit housing in fluid communication with said electrocoagulation chamber. The unit electric circuit may include metal strips configured to electrically connect at least one of said electrically conductive electrocoagulation plates to said electric power source, wherein when the replaceable electrocoagulation cartridge is retained within the electrocoagulation chamber the metal strips extend through the water being treated between the replaceable electrocoagulation cartridge and a wall of the electrocoagulation chamber to electrically connect the at least one of said electrically conductive electrocoagulation plates, and wherein the at least one of said electrically conductive electrocoagulation plates electrically connects to said electric power source through said unit control means.
