Application
The filter system may only be operated together with an
original GROHE Red boiling water storage heater.
The filter system measures the flow rate using a sensor and
from this calculates the remaining capacity of the filter
cartridge as a function of the set litre capacity. If the filter
cartridge litre capacity set on the display unit is exceeded, the
values are displayed as negative values.
The sensor also monitors the maximum service life of the filter
cartridge. If the maximum service life of 12 months is
exceeded, the remaining capacity of the filter cartridge flashes.
The filter system reduces the carbonate hardness and must be
used in regions with a carbonate hardness exceeding 12° dH.
The filter head is fitted with a type-tested non-return valve.
The water filtrate is classified as Category 2 according
to EN 1717.

Safety notes

To avoid health risks, please note the following
information when using the filter system:
• For hygiene reasons, the filter system must be flushed
before using for the first time, see section Installation.
• For optimum filter cartridge performance, the set litre
capacity or the service life of 12 months must not be
exceeded.
• The filter head must be replaced after 5 years.
• The filter system may only be operated with cold water of
foodstuff grade.
• At the installation location, the filter system must be
protected from mechanical damage, heat and direct
sunlight.
• The filter system may only be installed in frost-free rooms.
• Following storage and transport at temperatures below 0 °C,
the filter cartridge must be stored in its opened original
packaging at ambient temperatures of 4 – 30 °C for at
least 24 hours before use.
• The filter system must never be opened when in operation.
• The filter material in the filter cartridge is specially treated
with silver. It is possible that a small amount of silver, which
is completely safe, may be released into the water. The
amount is in keeping with the recommendations of the World
Health Organisation (WHO) for drinking water.
• Notice for people suffering from kidney disease or on
dialysis:
Filtering may result in a slight increase in the potassium
content. If you are suffering from kidney disease or are
on a low-potassium diet, we recommend that you
consult your doctor.
• GROHE recommends not leaving the filter system out of
service for extended periods of time. If the filter system is
not used for more than 4 weeks, at least one storage heater
fill (4 or 8 litres depending on size) must be discharged and
discarded.

in the scope of delivery).
Set water hardness at filter head (B), see Fig. [2].
Set water hardness at bypass setting (C) to local conditions,
see table column A on fold-out page IV. The relevant water
supplier can provide information on the water hardness. The
value from column B assigned to the bypass value from
column A must also be set on the display unit (G), see section
Setting the litre specification.
Insert filter head (B) in wall holder (A), see Fig. [2].
Insert filter cartridge (D), see Fig. [3].
Filter head (B) can be swivelled forwards by up to 90° in wall
holder (A) to install the cartridge.
Remove protective cover (D1) and insert filter cartridge (D)
into filter head (B) to the stop. Note the installation position of
the filter cartridge.
Turn locking handle (B1) until filter cartridge is felt to lock into
place.
Install pressure hose (E) at inlet [IN] of filter head (B),
see Fig. [4].
