3.4 Safety Information

• Only water of drinking water quality may be used as intake water for the VIVREAU water filter
system. The VIVREAU 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 appropriate disinfection.
• If there are official instructions to boil tap water, VIVREAU filtered water must also be boiled.
When the requirement to boil water comes to an end, the filter cartridge must be replaced
and the connections cleaned.
• This filter media has been impregnated with silver to preserve the filter media and inhibit the
growth of bacteria that may affect the filter media. The antimicrobial properties of the treated filter
media do not protect users or others against bacteria, viruses, germs, or other disease organisms.
• 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 filtered water.
• 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 Organization (WHO) recommendations for drinking
water. At most, the values stated in the Alimentarius Austriacus code may be exceeded.
• 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.
• If the VIVREAU filter system is not used for several days (2–3 days), we recommend that
the PURITY Quell filter system be flushed with at least x* liters according to the table below.
VIVREAU LLC recommends that the filter system not be decommissioned for a long period.
After stagnation periods of over 4 weeks, the filter should be flushed with at least x** liters (US
gallons) according to the table below, or else replaced. Please also note that the maximum
usage period of the filter cartridge is 12 months (Chapter 6).

• The filter system is not resistant to heavily concentrated cleaning agents (e.g. bleach,
chlorinated solvents, strong oxidising agents) and must not come into contact with them.
• The filter system must not be opened or dismantled during operation.
The filter cartridge must not be opened.
• The pressure vessel and the pressure vessel lid of the filter systems have a service life of up to
ten years (from the date of installation), provided that they are installed and used correctly and the
operating conditions outlined in the Technical Data chapter are adhered to. They must always be
replaced after a maximum of ten years. The hoses must be replaced in rotation after a maximum of
five years.
