2.1 Function and Application

PURITY C is a lter system specially designed by BRITA for use in catering to ensure constantly high water quality for individual customer applications as well as reliable and simple operation. The unique IntelliBypass ensures a constant by-pass proportion of water for the entire usage period, irrespective of the volumetric ow of the terminal equipment used. The result is consistently high water quality specially tailored to the requirements of the application and the local water conditions. By reliably locking the lter cartridge in the lter head and controlling the water ow, the innovative locking handle ensures simple and reliable operation. The food grade quality provided by the BRITA PURITY C lter system has been tested and conrmed by independent institutes. Product-specic certications are located on the label and also at www.brita.net.

2.1.1 PURITY C Quell ST

PURITY C Quell ST lter cartridges reduce the carbonate hardness in drinking water, thus preventing scale deposits in the downstream terminal equipment. Depending on the by-pass setting, calcium, magnesium and metal ions can be selectively removed from the drinking water during the ow process. In addition to cloudiness and organic pollutants, the lter material also reduces the level of substances impairing smell and taste, such as chlorine residues in the ltrate and in the by-pass water. Typical areas of application for PURITY C Quell ST are coffee and espresso machines, hot and cold drink vending machines as well as combi ovens and conventional ovens.

2.1.2 PURITY Finest C

The PURITY Finest C ltrate helps to produce the unique coffee aroma – especially in espressos – and allows the body of the coffee to develop. The characteristics of the coffee crema are experienced in their full intensity. The PURITY Finest C lter cartridges reduce the total hardness in drinking water, thereby avoiding limescale and gypsum deposits in the downstream appliance. Calcium, magnesium and metal ions are selectively removed from the drinking water using the ow method.17

The lter material not only reduces cloudiness and organic pollutants, but also the level of sub- stances that impair the smell and taste, such as chlorine residues in the ltrate. The PURITY Finest C is typically used in coffee and espresso machines.

Caution: The PURITY Finest C is not suitable for use with combi ovens and conventional ovens. Operation is not recommended in combination with domestic water-softening systems. PURITY Finest C cartridges must be operated with a bypass setting of 0 %.

2.1.3 PURITY Fresh C

In addition to minimising cloudiness and organic pollutants, PURITY Fresh C lter cartridges reduce substances that impair taste and smell in drinking water, such as chlorine and chlorine compounds. Particles that impair system functionality are trapped. The PURITY Fresh C lter system was developed especially for enhancing the taste and freshness of water for coffee, espresso and vending machines.

The PURITY C AC lter cartridge reduces cloudiness, organic pollutants as well as the level of substances impairing smell and taste, such as chlorine residues. The lter material retains particles down to a size of 0.5 μm. Typical areas of application for PURITY C AC are vending machines and on-tap watercoolers.

3.4 Specic Safety Information

• Water used as intake water for the PURITY C water lter system must be of drinking water quality. The BRITA water lter system is only suitable for cold water use within the water intake temperature range stated in Chapter 9.

• If there are ofcial instructions to boil tap water, the lter system must be decommissioned. When the requirement to boil water comes to an end, the lter cartridge must be replaced and the connections cleaned.

• For hygiene reasons, the 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 weakened immune systems, babies). This also applies to ltered water.

• Note for people with kidney disease or dialysis patients: During the lter process the potassium levels may increase slightly. If you suffer from kidney disease and/or have to stick to a special potassium diet, we recommend you consult your doctor beforehand.

• The water ltrate is classied in Category 2 according to EN 1717.

• BRITA recommends not to decommission the lter system for long periods. If the BRITA PURITY C lter system is not used for several days, we recommend that the lter system be ushed with the volume of water indicated in the table below.

3.5 Technical Safety Assembly Instructions

• The appliance in which the lter is used must be free of limescale and gypsum deposits prior to installation.

• Protect the lter system from sunlight and mechanical damage. Do not assemble near sources of heat and open ames.

• A stop valve must be installed before the lter system inlet hose.

• If the water pressure is greater than 8.6 bar, a pressure reducer must be installed in front of the lter system.

• When choosing the material for parts that come into contact with water after the BRITA lter system, it is important to remember that, due to the process, decarbonised water contains free carbon dioxide. For this reason, only materials that are compatible with free carbon dioxide must be used. We recommend the use of BRITA hoses.

• All parts must be installed in accordance with the country-specic guidelines on the installation of drinking water facilities. 4 Installation

Caution: Prior to installation, read the technical data (Chapter 9) and the operating and safety information (Chapter 3). After storage and transport below 0 °C, the product must be stored in the open original packaging for at least 24 hours before it is commissioned at the stated ambient temperatures (Chapter 9) for operation.

4.1 Assembling the lter head, water connection

• Close the water intake and switch off the power supply to the end device

• Fit the wall mounting bracket

in the intended position

Caution: When tting the bracket, note the installation dimensions, bending radii of the hoses and dimensions of the accessories (e.g. BRITA FlowMeter). When using the wall mount, install vertically only! The PURITY C1100 cannot be installed using the wall mounting bracket.

• Fit the hoses to the water inlet “IN”

• Use at seals for G3/8” connections. For John Guest connections, use hoses with a diameter of 8 mm. In the case of John Guest connections, the two safety clips

must be inserted after tting the hose.

Caution: The tightening torque at G3/8” connections must not exceed 14 Nm! Only hose connections with at seals may be used, as hoses with conical screw connections damage the connections on the lter head and invalidate any warranty claim! We recommend the use of BRITA hoses.

(set to 30 % at the factory) and if necessary adjust this setting to the local carbonate hardness (PURITY C Quell ST) (chapter 4.2).

in the wall mounting bracket

4.2 By-pass setting for and capacity of PURITY C 0–70 % lter heads

• Determine the carbonate hardness (for PURITY C Quell ST lter cartridges) or total hardness (for PURITY Finest C lter cartridges) of the local water by performing the BRITA carbonate hardness test or BRITA total hardness test. Alternatively, your local water supplier will be able to provide information on the local water hardness.

• Determine the by-pass setting and capacity in line with the application and the carbonate and/or total hardness identied using the by-pass and capacity table (pages 2–6).

• Then turn the by-pass setting

• To ensure precise and continuous control of the degree of lter cartridge exhaustion, it is recommended to install the BRITA FlowMeter 10–100 A.

• Note: With PURITY C AC, PURITY Finest C and PURITY Fresh C lter cartridges, all of the intake water is ltered. The lter cartridge can be used with lter heads that have a variable or xed by-pass. The by-pass that may be set in the lter head is not taken into account.20

• Pull the ap of the protective cap

upwards and remove the protective cap.

• Note the next exchange date in the date eld on the lter cartridge resp. on the FilterManager app

in a vertical position.

Caution: The lter cartridge can only be inserted when the locking handle is open. Make sure that the lter cartridge is positioned correctly.

until you feel it engage.

• Open the water intake and switch on the terminal equipment’s power supply.

• Operate the ush valve

and ush the lter system until the ltered water runs clear and without bubbles. At least two empty lter cartridge volumes must be ushed (Chapter 9). Note: When bleeding/ushing, catch water emerging from the ush hose

in an appropriate container.

• Check system for any leaks. 5 Changing the Filter Cartridge The PURITY C lter cartridge must be replaced once the stated capacity has been reached (see Chapter 6), in accordance with manufacturer’s specications or no later than 12 months after commissioning, whichever occurs rst.

Caution: When changing a lter, examine all remaining parts carefully! Faulty parts must be replaced and contaminated parts should be cleaned! Read the operating and safety information (Chapter 3) before changing the cartridge. After storage and transport below 0 °C, the product must be stored in the open original packaging for at least 24 hours before it is commissioned at the stated ambient temperatures (Chapter 9) for operation. Note: When the locking handle is open, the water supply to the cartridge is interrupted and short-circuit operation with direct water ow from the water inlet
