 In such a configuration, refluxed for concentrated water W3 cooled by the condensed water cooling unit 121 is discharged from the reverse osmosis unit 52 on the upstream side of the reverse osmosis unit 52, by mixing with the water to be treated W1, it is possible to lower the temperature of the water to be treated W1.
 Furthermore, it is possible to adjust the temperature of the water to be treated W1, depending on the temperature of the concentrated water W3, the amount of concentrated water W3 to reflux at reflux passage 120 is mixed with the water to be treated W1, treatment water W1 it is possible to adjust the temperature properly.
[0057]
 Therefore, according to the third embodiment water treatment system and a water treatment method described above, reflux retentate W3, that is mixed with water to be treated W1, it is possible to reduce the temperature of the water to be treated W1. Thus, it is possible to reduce the temperature of the water to be treated W1 of water flow filtration device 21A, 21B, to 21C and the reverse osmosis unit 52.
 Furthermore, it is possible to suppress the damage to the reverse osmosis membrane F of the reverse osmosis membrane device 51, reduction of the salt rejection of the reverse osmosis membrane F, it is possible to suppress the deterioration of the durability. Further, by cooling the treated water W1, filtration devices 21A, 21B, growth rate of the organism to form the 21C biofilm can be suppressed from being lowered. Thus, it is possible to suppress the filtration device 21A, 21B, a reduction in filtration performance in 21C.
 As a result, even when the temperature of the water to be treated W1 is high, the water treatment system 10, can exhibit high performance.

(First Modification of Third Embodiment)
 In a third embodiment, the return path 120, have been concentrated water W3 cooled with concentrated water cooling unit 121, a filtration device 21A, 21B, so as to reflux the upstream side of the 21C It was in, but the present invention is not limited to this.
 Figure 8 is a diagram showing the configuration of a water treatment system according to a first modification of the third embodiment.
 As shown in FIG. 8, return path 120, the concentrated water W3 cooled in concentrated water cooling unit 121, a filtration device 21A, 21B, may be refluxed between 21C and reverse osmosis unit 52.
 Thus, the cooled concentrated water W3 filtration device 21A, 21B, if caused to reflux between 21C and reverse osmosis unit 52, lowering the temperature of the water to be treated W1 which passed through the reverse osmosis unit 52 it can be.
[0059]
(Second Modification of Third Embodiment)
 FIG. 9 is a diagram showing the configuration of a water treatment system in the second modification of the third embodiment.
 As shown in FIG. 9, the reflux path 120, the concentrated water W3, filtration devices 21A, 21B, and upstream of 21C, filtration devices 21A, 21B, and between 21C and reverse osmosis unit 52, both in the it may be allowed to reflux, respectively. In this case, the return path 120, a filtration device 21A, 21B, 21C and reverse osmosis membrane and the return pipe 120A for circulating concentrated water W3 between the device 52, a filtration device 21A, 21B, concentrate on the upstream side of the 21C W3 the it is sufficient to branch to the return pipe 120B to reflux. Further in this case, return path 120A, preferably provided with a reflux water adjusting unit 123 to the respective 120B.
 With this configuration, return channel 120A, each of reflux water adjusting unit 123 120B, it is possible to adjust return channel 120A, the flow rate of the concentrated water W3 is recirculated through 120B individually. Therefore, filtration device 21A, 21B, 21C, and the concentrated water W3 is mixed to the water to be treated W1 at each upstream of a reverse osmosis membrane device 52, the treatment water W1, filtration devices 21A, 21B, 21C, reverse osmosis it can be supplied with cooling to a temperature suitable for each membrane unit 52. For example, in the intake phase in the intake pipe P1, and for example, the treatment water W1 was 45 ° C., filtration device 21A, 21B, for example, 37 ° C. by mixing the concentrated water W3 in the previous 21C, the reverse osmosis unit 52 in the immediately preceding, it is possible, as adjusted to 35 ° C..
