3.4 Specifi c Safety Information
•
Water used as intake water for the PURITY C water fi lter system must be of drinking water
quality. The BRITA water fi lter system is only suitable for cold water use within the water
intake temperature range stated in Chapter 9.
•
If there are offi cial instructions to boil tap water, the fi lter system must be decommis-
sioned. When the requirement to boil water comes to an end, the fi lter cartridge must be
replaced and the connections cleaned.
•
For hygiene reasons, the fi lter material of the cartridge is subjected to a special treatment
with silver. A small quantity of silver, which is harmless to health, may be released into the
water. This is in compliance with the World Health Organisation (WHO) recommendations
for drinking water.
•
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 fi ltered water.
•
Note for people with kidney disease or dialysis patients: During the fi lter 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 fi ltrate is classifi ed in Category 2 according to EN 1717.

BRITA recommends not to decommission the fi lter system for long periods. If the BRITA
PURITY C fi lter system is not used for several days, we recommend that the fi lter system
