Anti-bacterial carbon with mineral
ceramic balls
Anti-bacterial carbon powder in the last filtration
step will prevent a contamination from the
outside. Oxidation reduction potential mineral
balls reduce ORP value which acts as anti-oxidant
of water to increase the natural metabolism of
human body.
Encapsulated filter
Encapsulated filters allow a clean and safe
filtration process without contamination
from the outside. The high quality filter
media allow for an extraordinary clean and
safe filter performance.
Filter replacement
The Stiebel Eltron Stream filter cartridges are
easy to change. The PUSH & CLICK system
allows the filter change without using any
tool. No plumber or expert is needed.
Automatic water shut off
The filter system has an integrated automatic
water stop. As soon as the filter is plugged
out off the adapter the water flow will shut off
automatically.
Clip function - space saving
Because of the clip function of the filter system
there is no extra space needed for under the sink
installation. The filter can be easily changed.

5. INSTALLATION AND PRECAUTIONS.
1 - 4
BAR
The water filter can only be used with pre-filtered water from a
water supply facility. The filter cannot be used with water from
unsafe water sources such as rivers and wells.
To reach an optimized and satisfying filter result the water
filter should only be installed in houses with a pipe pressure
between 1 and 4 bar.
The water filter must be installed in a far distance to inflammable
materials and heating sources to avoid deformation.
The water filter should only be installed inside the house.
The filter can only be installed to the cold water supply with a
water temperature between 4 and 35°C.
Never use the PUSH button for filter replacement during water
flow. The equipment may break down due to high pressure. For
filter exchange close the diverter valve.
The water filter should not be exposed to force or shock.
The water filter must be kept away or protected from direct
light (e.g. sunlight).
Replace the filters according to the schedule to insure clean
drinking water.
Please install the filter upright. In case of moving or raising the
filter make sure that the filter stays upright.

the nipple (use teflon-tape).
Assemble the ball valve and nipple to
the water supply. Re-attach the metal
hose.
Cut the plastic tube in 2 pieces. Con-
nect the inlet tube and tighten the
tube with the cap.
Insert the plastic tube and connect
the adapter on the wall.
Bring the adapter in upward position and
insert the filter. A loud “click“ will signal

*It is normal to find that air (oxygen) might come out from the faucet for the first 5 seconds especially after long time no use. These air (oxygen) comes from mineral
ceramic balls and the water might have a slightly higher pH level. It is safe to use and the water is safe to drink.

8. TROUBLE SHOOTING.
Problems Possible cause Trouble shooting
Black color or black particles in the water. The stream water filter contains carbon powder. After
installation small particles can occur in the water.
After installation or filter exchange let the water flow
for about 10 minutes to clean the filter from possible
small residual particles of carbon.
Slow water flow. The lifetime of the filter is finished. Replace the filter cartridge.
The filter is clogged. Replace the filter cartridge.
Noise in the system. There are air bubbles in the system. After installation let the water flow for about 10 minutes
to remove all air from the system.
Unusual water or chlorine taste/bad odor. The cartridge does not remove chlorine and other
contaminants from the water. The life time of the
filter cartridge is finished.
Replace the filter cartridge.
You have not used the filter for a while and some
sediments and contaminants developed a bad smell
in the system.
Open the valves and let the water flow for at least
5 minutes.
Water leakage. Tubes, fittings, nipples might not be connected
properly.
Check every connection to be inserted in the proper
depth.
No water flow. The diverter valve is closed. Open the diverter valve.
