4.3 Assembly of inlet and outlet hoses
Note: The inlet and outlet hoses are not included in the standard scope of delivery. The
use of BRITA hose sets is recommended (Chapter 11).

Fit inlet hose

of the connector head
Note: Inlet "IN" and outlet "OUT" of the connector head
as seals, therefore no addition fl at seals may be used here. Check that the O-rings are
correctly seated.
Caution: The max. tightening torque at the 1" and 3/4" connections must not exceed
!
15 Nm! Only hose connections with fl at seals may be used. Hoses with conical screwed
connections damage the connections of the fi lter head and result in the guarantee
expiring! Only hoses that comply with DVGW-W 543 may be used for connection to the
device. Before assembly, note the direction of fl ow on the upper side of the fi lter head,
"IN" = water inlet, "OUT" = water outlet. Prior to installation, note installation dimensions
and operating position (Chapter 10). If no original hoses are used, the 1"– 3/4"
supplied must be used to ensure correct sealing of the return valve (pre-fi tted in the water
inlet).
5 Commissioning a New Filter
5.1 Setting the Bypass
•
The bypass setting screw
increased to position 2 or 3 according to the local water quality (Chapter 7). If you
have any questions about water quality, your supplier or your contact at BRITA will
advise you.
Note: Use Allen key 6 mm or 7/32" to adjust the bypass setting screw
5.2 Identifying the Filter Capacity
•
Identify the local carbonate hardness using the enclosed carbonate hardness test kit.
•
Identify the fi lter capacity using the capacity tables (Chapter 7) taking account of the
carbonate hardness identifi ed and the bypass set (Chapter 5.1).
