The invention discloses a multi-filter-element parallel type ceramic water purifier. The multi-filter-element parallel type ceramic water purifier comprises an outer shell, a base, a plurality of filter element components mounted between the outer shell and the base, and a drive mechanism mounted on the filter element component and used for driving the filter element components; the outer shell and the base are fixedly connected; when a drinking water outlet tap and a non-drinking water tap are both at the off state, a sprinkler head no longer sprays water, a water wheel rotates anticlockwiseunder the action of the restoring force of a torsional spring, an intermittent gear fixedly connected with the water wheel is driven to rotate, a tooth part of the intermittent gear and a driven toothare meshed and rotate, and the driven tooth drives the corresponding brush component to rotate anticlockwise to clean a ceramic filter element, so that the purpose that the ceramic filter element isnot excessively cleaned is realized.
