DEAR CUSTOMER,
The Venta system for Airwashing offers a technology unique in the world. The Venta Airwasher is designed without filter pads and is extremely hygienic.

UNIQUE FUNCTIONALITY:
Bad-quality, dry air is routed into the appliance. Rotating disk stacks with a surface area of up to 4.2m² guarantee, using the smallest space, that dry air is capable of absorbing moisture and pure water can evaporate. Dirt particles to 10μm (10/1000mm) are retained in the water. There are no filters which get dirty over time. The Venta filter is the water: Every day it is new and fresh and year for year it provides constant high-quality cleaning and humidification performance.
