Carbonate Hardness
The units of carbonate hardness can be set as required to German °dH (= display setting °KH),
English (°e = Clark) (= display setting °EH), French (°f) (= display setting °FH), American (grains
per gallon) (= display setting gpg) or international hardness values (mg/l CaCO
mg/L).
If the setting for the type of hardness (= unit) is changed while the fi lter is operating, the values that
were set originally are converted automatically.
Bar chart
Representation of the remaining capacity using bar charts. After installation of a new fi lter system or
after a fi lter change, the symbolised fi lter cartridge is completely fi lled with 10 bars.
Bypass proportion in percentage
The by-pass proportion is defi ned as the proportion of decarbonised water in the total amount of
fi ltrate and is indicated as a percentage.
Flow symbol
When water is removed via the fi lter system, a graphic wave is shown on the display.
Available remaining capacity of the fi lter cartridge
The remaining capacity of the fi lter cartridge is shown in litres or in US gallons, depending on which
has been selected.
When water is removed, it counts backwards in 1 litre or 1 US gallon stages. If the cartridge is
already exhausted, the capacity is indicated as being negative by fl ashing.
With a remaining capacity of 20% the last two bars in the bar chart start to fl ash.
With a remaining capacity of 10% the last bar in the bar chart fl ashes with the two change
arrows.
From a remaining capacity of 0% the negative bars and the change arrows fl ash alternately with
the remaining capacity shown in negative.

Change arrow
If the monthly limit has been reached up to a month before expiry of the set time limit, it is signalled
by the date fi eld fl ashing.
If the monthly limit is 100% reached, it is signalled by alternate fl ashing of the date fi eld and the
change arrows.
If the remaining capacity and the monthly limit are exceeded, the negative remaining capacity and
the date fi eld fl ash alternately with the change arrows.
Date of the fi lter commissioning or last fi lter cartridge change
The date of fi lter commissioning or last fi lter cartridge change is indicated as follows:
Example: 28/10/09
