Frequently Asked Questions - Purity 600 Steam BRITA

What is the service life of the BRITA Purity 600 Steam filter cartridge?

The cartridge must be replaced at most after 12 months, or earlier if the capacity is exhausted (depending on water hardness and by-pass setting).

How to install the filtration system?

Installation must be carried out by qualified personnel. Mount the pressure chamber, connect the hoses (IN inlet, OUT outlet) without exceeding 15 Nm torque, then open the water supply and flush at least 10 litres.

What to do if the electronic display does not light up?

Check that the display is properly engaged. If nothing displays, the internal battery may be discharged (service life ~10 years). In that case, replace the entire display.

How to adjust the by-pass on the BRITA Purity 600 Steam?

Use a 6 mm (7/32\") Allen key to turn the adjustment screw (position 0 to 3). The position depends on the local carbonate hardness and the type of appliance (steam or traditional oven). Refer to the capacity table in the manual.

What is the required water pressure?

The operating pressure must be between 2 bar and 6.9 bar. If it exceeds 6.9 bar, install a pressure reducer upstream.

Can the filter be used with hot water?

No, the system is designed only for cold water (4 °C to 30 °C). Hotter water would damage the filter and void the warranty.

How to know when to change the cartridge?

With the optional display, the remaining capacity and visual alerts (flashing) indicate the time. Without display, replace the cartridge after 6 to 12 months or if the flow rate drops significantly.

Does the filter reduce chlorine and bad tastes?

Yes, the filter material reduces residual chlorine, odors and organic impurities, improving the taste of water.

What to do if the system leaks after cartridge replacement?

Check the O-ring of the new cartridge: it must be properly positioned in its groove. If the leak persists, tighten the connections (max 15 Nm) or replace the seals.

What is the total filtration capacity of the 600 Steam model?

The comparative capacity according to DIN 18879-1 is 4,734 litres. In practice, it may be higher depending on usage conditions and by-pass setting.

2 General Information

2.1 Function and Application

The BRITA PURITY Steam water filter system optimises tap water specially for combi ovens and conventional ovens. It decarbonates drinking water, thereby reducing scale deposits in and on the terminal equipment. Depending on the bypass setting, calcium and magnesium ions as well as heavy metal ions such as lead and copper are selectively removed from the drinking water. In addition, the filter material not only reduces cloudiness and organic impurities but also substances that impair smell and taste, such as chlorine residues.

The bypass setting, which is specially designed for combi ovens and conventional ovens, matches the reduction in the carbonate hardness to the local water hardness in order to achieve an optimum filtrate quality. The increased flow and the reduced pressure loss enable the smooth operation of the combi oven.

The filter systems are available in three different filter system sizes (PURITY 450 Steam, PURITY 600 Steam and PURITY 1200 Steam), each in a version without integrated measuring and display electronics or with measuring and display electronics (Advanced Control System, ACS Technology). Filter systems with ACS Technology show 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 filter system with ACS Technology can be found in Chapter 5.2.

2.2 Guarantee Provisions

The PURITY Steam filter systems are subject to the statutory warranty of two years. A guarantee claim may be asserted only if all instructions in this manual are followed and observed.

2.3 Storage/Transport

Adhere to the ambient conditions in the Technical Data (Chapter 12) for storage and transport.

The manual should be seen as part of the product and kept for the whole service life of the filter system and passed on to subsequent owners.

2.4 Recycling/Disposal

Disposing of this product and its packaging in the correct manner protects people and the environment.

3.5 Safety Assembly Instructions

• The terminal device operated with the filter must be free of limescale prior to installation.
• Protect the filter system from sunlight and mechanical damage. Do not assemble near sources of heat and open flames.
• A stop valve must be installed before the filter system intake hose.
• If the water pressure is higher than 6.9 bar or if there are statutory requirements, a pressure reducer must be installed before the filter system.
• A non-return valve tested by the DVGW has been factory-installed at the water intake of the filter head.
• No copper pipes and no galvanised or nickel-plated pipes/connectors may be installed between the water filter and the consumer. The use of BRITA hose sets is recommended here. When choosing the material for parts that come into contact with water after the BRITA filter system it must be remembered that, due to the process, decarbonised water contains free carbon dioxide.
• All parts must be installed in accordance with the country-specific guidelines on the installation of drinking water facilities.
• For erection and operation of the filter system, the BG rules "Working in Kitchens" of the Specialist Committee "Foods" of the BGZ (BGR111) must be observed.

4 Installation

Caution: Prior to installation, read the Technical Data (Chapter 12) and the Operating and Safety Information (Chapter 3). After the product has been stored and transported at temperatures below 0°C, it must be stored with the original packaging open for at least 24 hours at ambient temperature (Chapter 12) before commissioning.

4.1 Delivery Scope

• Stand on the kick loops ⑫ with both feet and place the pressure vessel lid ③ on the pressure vessel ①. The position of the arrow marking on the lid handle ⑳ must match the "INSERT" groove.
• Press the pressure vessel lid ③ down and turn clockwise until the lock ⑮ engages.

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 13).

- Fit inlet hose ⑥ at the inlet of the connector head ④ and outlet hose ⑩ at the outlet of the connector head ④.

Note: Inlet "IN" and outlet "OUT" of the connector head ④ are equipped with O-rings as seals, therefore no additional flat seals may be used here. Check that the O-rings are seated correctly.

Caution: The max. tightening torque at the 1" and 3/4" connections must not exceed 15 Nm! Only hose connections with flat seals may be used. Hoses with conical screwed connections damage the filter head connections and invalidate any guarantee claims. Only hoses that comply with DVGW-W 543 may be used to connect the device.

Before assembly, note the direction of flow on the upper side of the filter head, "IN" = water inlet, "OUT" = water outlet. Prior to installation, note installation dimensions and operating position (Chapter 12). If no original hoses are used, the 1"-3/4" ⑰ adapter supplied must be used to ensure the return valve is sealed correctly (pre-fitted in the water inlet).

5 Commissioning a New Filter

5.1 Bypass Setting for Filter Systems without and with Measuring and Display Unit

• Identify the local carbonate hardness in German hardness °dH (BRITA nomenclature °KH) using the enclosed carbonate hardness test.
• Check the bypass setting on the bypass screw 19.

The bypass position can be adjusted to the local water quality or the machine type.

The following recommendations for bypass settings apply by default:

Position 0: All devices in areas with an extremely high water hardness level (> KH = 22 °KH).

Position 1: Combi ovens and conventional ovens with direct injection system

Position 2: Combi ovens and conventional ovens with boiler system

Position 3: All devices in soft water areas (< KH = 7 °KH).

You can obtain individual recommendations from your BRITA contact.

Note: The stated capacities have been tested and calculated on the basis of common application and machine conditions. External factors (such as fluctuating crude water quality and/or machine type) can cause deviations from this information.

8 Repair

Regularly check the filter system for leaks. Regularly check the hoses for kinks. Bent hoses must be replaced.

The complete filter system must be replaced in rotation after a maximum of ten years. The hoses must be replaced in rotation after a maximum of five years.

Caution: Prior to changing, read the Technical Data (Chapter 12) and the Operating and Safety Information (Chapter 3).

Regularly clean the outside of the filter system with a soft, damp cloth.

Caution: Do not use any substances incompatible with the material (Chapter 3.4) or astringent, abrasive cleaning agents.

Cartridge indicator Type

Date of inserting the cartridge

At the top left, the indicator for the filter cartridge (-1 for previous filter cartridge) is displayed alternately with the water hardness set and the hardness unit. At the top right, the filter system size is displayed alternately with the bypass setting (display 1 s indicator, 1 s water hardness), at the bottom left, the meter reading when changing the cartridge (-1) and at the bottom right, the installation date of the cartridge.

Meaning: the filter cartridge most recently used was a PURITY 1200 cartridge, the filter cartridge was inserted on 25/06/09 and operated up to a meter reading of 23166 litres.

The water hardness set was 14°KH and the bypass measured was 30%.

The same applies to the cartridge (-2), preceding filter cartridge and the other preceding filter cartridges-3,-4.

Error Messages

Error level E1 indicates whether an error has occurred in blend detection.

E1 is activated as soon as the current bypass is not correctly identified.

The word Start is then displayed together with the date of occurrence.

alternating

As soon as the current bypass setting is identified correctly again, the error has ended and the Stop date is added. At error level 01 the Stop and Start display alternates every second.

Error level E2 indicates whether and from when until when an error has occurred at the outlet water meter. Display is similar to level E1.
