Abstract
The invention relates to a device for degerminating and filtering water passing through a sanitary appliance. The device includes a housing through which water can flow, and a filtering device located inside of the housing. The filtering device has a backup cage and a filter cloth bag connected thereto, and essentially surrounds the entire luminous element of a UV lamp. Both the backup cage and the filter cloth bag are made from a plastic material which allows the radiation emitted by the UV lamp to pass through it or which conducts the radiation in the manner of a light conductor.
