3.4 Specific Safety Information
•
Water used as intake water for the PURITY C water filter system must be of drinking water
quality. The BRITA water filter system is only suitable for cold water use within the water
intake temperature range stated in Chapter 9.
•
If there are official instructions to boil tap water, the filter system must be decommissioned.
When the requirement to boil water comes to an end, the filter cartridge must be replaced
and the connections cleaned.
•
It is generally recommended to boil tap water for certain groups of people (e.g. people
with weakened immune systems, babies). This also applies to filtered water.
•
Note for people with kidney disease or dialysis patients: During the filter process the
potassium levels may increase slightly. If you suffer from kidney disease and/or have to
stick to a special potassium diet, we recommend you consult your doctor beforehand.
•
The water filtrate is classified in Category 2 according to EN 1717.
•
BRITA recommends not to decommission the filter system for long periods. If the BRITA
PURITY C filter system is not used for several days, we recommend that the filter system
be flushed with the volume of water indicated in the table below.

3.5 Technical Safety Assembly Instructions
•
The appliance in which the filter is used must be free of limescale and gypsum deposits prior
to installation.
•
Protect the filter system from sunlight and mechanical damage. Do not assemble near
sources of heat and open flames.
•
A stop valve must be installed before the filter system inlet hose.
•
If the water pressure is greater than 8.6 bar, a pressure reducer must be installed in front of
the filter system.
•
When choosing the material for parts that come into contact with water after the BRITA filter
system, it is important to remember that, due to the process, decarbonised water contains
free carbon dioxide. For this reason, only materials that are compatible with free carbon dioxide
must be used. We recommend the use of BRITA hoses.
•
All parts must be installed in accordance with the country-specific guidelines on the installation
of drinking water facilities.
