Description

Less limescale, more showering pleasure.

Treat yourself: rediscover your shower. Imagine your morning shower, the water flowing and the glass screen staying clear for longer. Less scrubbing at the weekend, fewer white marks on the tap, less frustration with limescale-clogged nozzles. Your time in the shower can once again be what it should be: your little moment of comfort each day.

How it works:

The Smarald® shower filter against limescale DF-007 contains a replaceable cartridge with ion-exchange resin and zeolite: the resin binds calcium and magnesium – the very substances that cause those stubborn white limescale marks.

Your benefits:

  • Cartridge for approx. 8,000 litres – replace after 6 months at the latest, sooner depending on water quality
  • Filled in Germany – with high-quality ion-exchange resin of drinking-water quality (certified to NSF/ANSI 61)
  • More shine, less cleaning – fewer limescale marks on shower screens, glass and taps
  • Fitted in minutes – simply screw it between the tap and shower hose, with no drilling or tools required, ideal for rented homes too
  • Fits almost any shower – standard 1/2" connection for the tap and shower hose
  • Robust chrome-plated housing with a blue ring – with a 5-year guarantee on the housing
  • Easy cartridge replacement – replacement cartridge DF007-EK01 can be reordered at any time, while you keep using the housing
  • Shipped directly from Germany

Treat yourself to a little comfort, every day. Helping you feel refreshed is what we care about.

At a glance:

  • Housing 160 × 65 mm, chrome-plated with a blue ring
  • Cartridge DF007-EK01: Ø 49 × 83 mm, ion-exchange resin and zeolite
  • Top connection 1/2" female thread (tap), bottom connection 1/2" male thread (shower hose) – fits standard taps and shower hoses
  • No tools required for fitting, seals included
  • Capacity approx. 8,000 litres – however, replace the cartridge after 6 months at the latest, even if this volume has not yet been reached. Depending on water quality, earlier replacement may be advisable.

Need a shorter filter? The DF-008 is 24 mm shorter and uses the same cartridge.

Suitable when …the tap is close to the wallthere is enough clearance from the wall and you would like a larger cartridgethere is enough clearance from the wall, but limited vertical space

Measure before buying: the distance from the centre of the tap's water outlet to the wall. DF-003 needs at least approx. 3 cm, DF-007 and DF-008 at least approx. 4 cm. If space is tighter, the 45° elbow (DFZ-0006) helps when used with a 1/2" double nipple (male thread at both ends). Please also note: the filter increases the distance between the tap and shower hose by its height.
