can be cleaned using common surface disinfectants.
When replacing the Germlyser

W, a small amount of unfiltered water will flow out. Over time, this will lead
to deposits on and in the adapters. Aqua

recommends replacement of the adapters after a period of
6 to 12 months.
In the case of a deviation from the specifications or a damage to the packaging, the product should be
returned to Aqua
