3.4 Specific Safety Information
• Only water of drinking water quality may be used as intake water for the BRITA water filter sys-
tem. The BRITA water filter system is only suitable for cold water use within the water intake
temperature stated in Chapter 12. No microbiologically impaired water or water of unknown
quality may be used without prior appropriate disinfection.
• If there are official instructions to boil tap water, the filter system must be decommissioned.
When the requirement to boil water comes to an end, the filter cartridge must be replaced and
the connections cleaned.
• For hygiene reasons, the filter 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.
• Note for people with kidney disease or dialysis patients: During the filter 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 filtrate is classified in Category 2 according to DIN EN 1717.
• BRITA recommends that the filter system not be decommissioned for a long period. If the
BRITA PURITY Steam filter system is not used for several days (two to three days), we recom-
mend that the filter system be flushed with at least X litres according to the table below. After
stagnation periods of over four weeks, the filter should be flushed with at least Y litres or else
replaced. Please also note that the maximum usage period of the filter cartridge is twelve
months (Chapter 6).
