Abstract
A device for sterilizing and filtering water which flows through a sanitary device consists of a treatment cavity ( ) located inside of housing ( ) through which water can flow. The treatment cavity is subdivided into a multitude of partial cavities ( ) by a suitably formed filter device ( ). The flowing water and filter device ( ) are irradiated by an ultraviolet lamp ( ) and the filter device is made of a single sintered body which transmits UV radiation thereby allowing the water to be filtered to remove microorganisms and then to be killed.
