2 General Information
2.1 Function and Application
The VIVREAU PURITY Water Filter System is used to remove carbonate hardness (temporary hard-
ness/alkalinity)* from drinking water to prevent limescale deposits in downstream appliances. Using
the flow method, calcium and magnesium ions* as well as heavy metal ions* like lead and copper
are selectively removed from the filtered drinking water via an ion exchanger. Furthermore, the filter
material reduces cloudiness* and organic impurities*, as well as contents which affect taste and
odour (e.g. chlorine residues) in the filtrate and bypass water. By-pass settings on the connector are
used to set the carbonate hardness reduction based on local water hardness or the requirements of
the application/appliance type in order to achieve an optimum water quality.
The measuring and display unit (MDU) shows you the current remaining capacity and bypass setting
of your filter cartridge, the set type and size of the filter system, and the last replacement date of the
filter cartridge. This ensures optimum filter control and water filtrate quality. Further information on
the measuring and display unit can be found in Chapter 5.2.
The unique IntelliBypass ensures a constant bypass proportion over the entire usage periods, irrespec-
tive of the volumetric flow of the terminal device concerned. The result is a consistently high water
quality specifically tailored to the application-specific requirements and the local water conditions.
Typical applications for VIVREAU PURITY water filter systems are coffee and espresso machines,
hot and cold drinks vending machines as well as steam ovens (combi ovens) and air humidifiers.
The filter system is designed for installation in limited spaces, especially in drinks machines and
kitchen installations and can be operated horizontally and vertically.
The food quality of VIVREAU water filter products has been inspected and confirmed by an
independent institute.
