4 Function of the filter

4.1

Use

Water treatment system for reducing bacteria, cryptosporidium, giardia and particles and improving
taste and odour of drinking water. A combination of activated carbon block and ultrafiltration
membrane - ideal for use in water dispensers.
4.2

Design

The tap water (A) is entering the filter cartridge (Fig. 3) and the water is
filtered by an activated carbon-block (B). Particles, dissolved organic matter,
natural colorants and substances responsible for bad taste and odours e.g.
chlorine are removed.
Then the water is filtered by a dead-end hollow fibre ultra filtration (C)
membrane for bacteria removal. The filter is also equipped with a small
amount of silver for bacteriostatic reasons.

5 Operating and safety instructions

This section provides an overview of all the important operating and safety aspects to ensure safe,
trouble-free operation. Despite every safety precaution having been taken, every product harbours
residual risks, especially if handled incorrectly. The warranty will only be valid if the instructions in
these installation and operating instructions are observed and followed.
5.1

Proper use

The filter is designed and constructed exclusively for its proper use described within these instruc-
tions (Section 4.1). Any other use is deemed improper.
I
WARNING!
f The filter system may be only be supplied with cold water of drinking water quality.
Improper use, e.g. using the filter to treat water other than that of drinking quality, poses a health
hazard if you were to drink said water. This can be a microbiological hazard if the natural water is
contaminated by microbes. The hazard can also be caused by high concentrations of heavy
metals or organic impurities in the water.
f To protect the drinking water, the national directives for drinking water installations
(e.g. DIN 1988, EN 1717) must be observed during all work on the filter system.
f If you are asked by the relevant authorities to boil the tap water because it is contaminated by
microbes, this applies to the filtered water too. If the authorities later state that the water is
safe to drink, the filter system must be replaced and the connections cleaned. Improper use can
cause damage to your health.
f A type-tested non-return valve in accordance with DIN EN 13959 is integrated into the filter
head. If large kitchen appliances, which due to their contamination potential (e.g. cleaning
chemicals) require a higher level of protection against backflow, are connected downstream of
the filter system, the appropriate safety devices must be integrated into the large kitchen
appliance.
f Before carrying out maintenance work on the drinking water supply, the filter system must be
disconnected from the water supply. Flush the water pipe thoroughly before reconnecting the
filter system.
f The power supply to the end appliance must be disconnected (remove mains plug) prior to
installation.
I
CAUTION!
f Improper installation of the filter system can cause property damage. Observe the national
A
D
installation regulations (e.g. DIN 1988, EN 1717), general hygiene conditions and technical
data for the protection of the drinking water.
f Unauthorised alterations to the filter system and technical modifications are not permitted.
f Mechanical damage to the filter system will invalidate the warranty.
C
f Install a check valve upstream of the filter system.
f Use only connections with gaskets. Conical seals damage the filter head connections and will
invalidate the warranty claim.
f The appliance may only be connected using hoses in accordance with DVGW W 543.
f If the product has been stored below 0 °C, leave the unpacked product at the ambient
temperature of the installation location for a minimum of 24 hours prior to operation.
B
f Do not install the filter system near heat sources or naked flames.
f Chemicals, solvents and vapours must not come into contact with the filter.
f The installation location must be frost-resistant and protected against direct sunlight.

INFORMATION!
Fig. 3
f For installation and operation of the filter system, the BG regulation "Rules for Safety and Health
Protection When Working in Kitchens" of the "Food and Beverages" expert committee of BGZ
(BGR111) must be observed. The filter system has been hygienetested in accordance with
Section 7.4 DIN 18879-1. The materials are selected in accordance with the requirements of
DIN 18879-1 and EN 14898. The pressure resistance of the filter system conforms to
DIN 18879-1.
f A type-tested non-return valve in accordance with DIN EN 13959 is integrated into the filter head.
f The filtered drinking water conforms to liquid category 2 in accordance with EN 1717.
f Clean and descale the appliance, e.g. coffee machine, before installing the water filter
system for the first time.
f For certain groups of people, such as babies and those with reduced immunity, it is re-
commended to boil the tap water before drinking. This also applies to filtered water.
f The filter contains small amounts of silver to suppress microbial growth. A small amount of silver
may be added to the water. This is perfectly safe and complies with the relevant re-
commendations of the World Health Organisation (WHO).
