All come with steel

Quoted

...For this purpose the aquadrive has a casing of 2mm brushed stainless steel...

But you can order a single silver or black aluminum front for each of them.

> Dual Aqua-Drive ordering number (shop): 93099
> Aquaero ordering number (shop): 53040
> Aquabay ordering number (shop): 93101

Quoted from "Katzenfreund"

It is engraved

How do you engrave white on a black surface? The stainless steel plates are easily seen to be either engraved, milled, or lasered. Maybe laser engraved? In any case I assume that the black aluminum faceplates are white painted or have they been laser engraved in a manner so as to turn the black anodzing white?
