Brita 3-Way Water Filter Dispenser System Instructions For Use Manual

III.

Important notes

Protect the P 1000 water ﬁ lter cartridge from direct sunlight and

mechanical damage. Do not assemble near sources of heat and

open ﬂ ames. A stop valve must be installed before the ﬁ lter sys-

tem intake hose. The BRITA 3-Way Water Filter Dispenser System

is only suitable for domestic use.

Only water of drinking water quality may be used as intake water

for the BRITA water ﬁ lter system. The BRITA water ﬁ lter cartridge

is only suitable for cold water use within the supply water tem-

perature stated in chapter 7. No microbiologically impaired water

or water of unknown quality may be used without appropriate

disinfection.

The system cannot be installed with a low pressure boiler.

Irrespective of the water used, you should use stainless steel

utensils or kettles with stainless steel heating elements. This is of

particular importance to people who are sensitive to nickel.

In the event: ﬁ lter ﬁ rst, and then boil

If there are ofﬁ cial instructions to boil tap water, the ﬁ lter system

must be decommissioned. When the requirement to boil water

comes to an end, the ﬁ lter cartridge must be replaced and the con-

nections cleaned.

Ultimate hygiene

• For hygiene reasons, the ﬁ lter 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.

• It is generally recommended to boil tap water for certain groups

of people (e.g. people with weak immune systems, babies). This

also applies to ﬁ ltered water.

• Note for people with kidney disease or dialysis patients: The ﬁ l-

tering process can cause a small rise in the levels of potassium.

• The water ﬁ ltrate is classiﬁ ed in Category 2 according to

EN 1717.

Optimum use

• BRITA recommends that the ﬁ lter system is not left unused

for a long period. If the BRITA 3-Way Water Filter Dispenser is

not used for several days (2–3 days), we recommend that the

ﬁ lter system be ﬂ ushed with the ﬂ ushing volume X indicated in

the table below. After stagnation periods of over 4 weeks, the

ﬁ lter should be ﬂ ushed with ﬂ ushing volume Y or else replaced.

Please also note the maximum usage period of the ﬁ lter car-

tridge is 6 months.

• The ﬁ lter kit must not be opened or dismantled during operation.

The ﬁ lter cartridge must not be opened. The ﬁ lter kit is designed

for a service life of 5 years counted from the date of installation.

BRITA ﬁ ltered water is designed for human consumption. Use it

within 1–2 days.

Sensitive to potassium?

The ﬁ ltering process can cause a small rise in the levels of potas-

sium. However, one litre of BRITA ﬁ ltered water contains less

potassium than an apple, for example. If you have kidney disease

and/or have to observe a special potassium diet, we recommend

that you consult your doctor before using the water ﬁ lter.

Natural traces

As with every natural product, the P 1000 parts can be subject

to natural ﬂ uctuations. This can lead to a slight abrasion of small

carbon particles into your ﬁ ltered water, noticeable as black bits.

These particles have no negative health effects. If ingested, they

will not harm the human body. In case you observe carbon parti-

cles, BRITA recommends ﬂ ushing out the P 1000 ﬁ lter cartridge

until the black bits disappear.
