A compound water filtering jug includes a jug, a filtering container, an upper filter, and a lower filter. The filtering container is arranged in an upper portion of the jug. The upper filter is arranged in the filtering container and the upper filter receives therein a plurality of filtering materials. The lower filter is arranged outside the filtering container and is located in the jug. The lower filter receives therein a plurality of filtering materials. The upper filter is coupled to and in communication with the lower filter. As such, when a liquid (such as water) is poured into the filtering container, the liquid is subjected to a first stage of filtering by the upper filter and then flows into the lower filter so that the liquid can be subjected to a second stage of filtering by the lower filter.
