3.4 Specifi c Safety Information
• Only water of drinking water quality may be used as intake water for the BRITA water fi lter
system. The BRITA water fi lter system is only suitable for cold water use within the water
intake temperature range stated in Chapter 9. No microbiologically impaired water or water of
unknown quality may be used without appropriate disinfection.
• 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 connections cleaned.
• For hygienic 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. At most, the values states in the Alimentarius Austriacus code may be exceeded.
• 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 fi ltered water.
• Note for people with kidney disease or dialysis patients: during the fi lter process, the potassium
content may be increased slightly. If you suffer from kidney disease and/or have to stick to
a special potassium diet, we recommend prior agreement with your doctor.
• The water fi ltrate is classifi ed in Category 2 according to EN 1717.
• BRITA recommends that the fi lter system not be decommissioned for a long period. If the
BRITA PURITY C fi lter system 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 that the maximum usage period of the fi lter cartridge is 12 months
(Chapter 6).
