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 cartridge fi lter material is subjected to a special silver treatment.
A small amount of silver, which is not harmful to health, may be released in the water. This is in
compliance with the World Health Organisation (WHO) recommendations for drinking water.
At most, the Codex Alimentarius Austriacus guideline values 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
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 fi ltrate is classifi ed in Category 2 according to EN 1717.
• BRITA recommends not to decommission the fi lter system for long periods. 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 fl ushing volume X indicated in the table below. After stagnation peri-
ods of over 4 weeks, the fi lter should at the very least be fl ushed with fl ushing volume Y or
else replaced. Please also note the maximum usage period of the fi lter cartridge of 12 months
(Chapter 5).
