3.4 Specific Safety Information
Only water of drinking water quality may be used as intake water for the BRITA water filter
•
system. The BRITA water filter system is only suitable for cold water use within the water
intake temperature stated in Chapter 12. No microbiologically impaired water or water of
unknown quality may be used without appropriate disinfection.
If there are official instructions to boil tap water, BRITA filtered water must also be boiled. 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.
For hygiene reasons, the filter 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.
Note for people with kidney disease or dialysis patients: during the filter process, the potassium
•
content may be increased slightly. If you suffer from kidney disease and/or have to stick to
a special potassium diet, we recommend prior agreement with your doctor.
The water filtrate is classified in Category 2 according to DIN EN 1717.
•
BRITA recommends that the filter system 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 Quell filter
system be flushed with at least x* litres according to the table below. After stagnation periods of
over 4 weeks, the filter should be flushed with at least x** litres (see table below) or else replaced.
Please also note that the maximum usage period of the filter cartridge is 12 months (Chapter 6).
