• Only drinking water within the intake water temperature range listed in Chapter 10
may be used as intake water for the BRITA water filter system. No microbiologically
impaired water or water of unknown microbiological quality may be used without
appropriate sterilisation.
• For reasons of flavour, the filtered water is not suitable for the preparation of food and
drinks.
• If there is an official requirement of boil tap water, decommission the filter system.
When the requirement to boil water comes to an end, the filter cartridge must be
replaced and the connections cleaned.
• BRITA recommends that the filter system shall not be decommissioned for a long period.
If the BRITA filter system is not used for several days (2–3 days), we recommend that the
PURITY Clean filter system be flushed with at least 24 litres. After stagnation periods of
over 4 weeks, the filter should be flushed with at least 120 litres or else replaced. Please
also note the maximum usage period of the filter cartridge is 12 months (Chapter 6).
• The filter system is not resistant to heavily concentrated cleaning agents (e.g. bleach,
chlorinated solvents, heavy oxidants) and must not come into contact with them.
• The filter system must not be opened or dismantled during operation. The filter
cartridge must not be opened.
• The pressure vessel and the pressure vessel lid of the filter systems have a service
life of up to ten years (from the date of installation), provided that they are installed
and used correctly and the operating conditions outlined in the Technical Data chapter
are adhered to. They must always be replaced after a maximum of ten years. The
hoses must be replaced in rotation after a maximum of five years.
