SHORT OVERVIEW.
RAIN FEATURES.
5 Stages in 2 filters
The qualities of 5 single filtration stages are
combined in 2 cartridges.The high quality fil-
ter media allow for an extraordinary clean and
safe filter performance.
Ultrafiltration membrane 0.01~0.1
micron
The membrane with a pore size of 0.01~0.1
micron removes bacteria and provides micro-
biologically safe and clean drinking water for
you and your family.
Encapsulated filter cartridges
Encapsulated cartridges allow a clean and safe
filter replacement. During the filter change a
contamination e.g. because of touching the
filter is not possible.
Easy filter replacement
The Stiebel Eltron rain filter cartridges are easy
to change.No plumber or expert is needed.
Silver - impregnated carbon
Silver-impregnated carbon powder has an
anti-bacterial function and kills bacteria that
are filtered by the hollow fiber membrane. It
therefore prohibits bacteria growth in the fil-
ter media.
3 Steps of carbon
The large amount of carbon in the Rain water
filter removes bad odors and taste.Therefore it
produces a very soft and high quality drinking
water.
