4 Function of the filter
4.1
Use
Water purification system to remove iron (II) from cold water to meet statutory requirements for drin-
king water. Undesirable constituents, such as organic substances and particles that can cause un-
pleasant tastes and odours, are also removed.
4.2
Design
The natural water (A) flows to the filter cartridge (Fig. 3). In area (B/C),
particles and iron (II) are removed.
INFORMATION
The bypass setting has no influence on the correct functioning of the
bestiron filter cartridge

5 Operating and safety instructions
This section provides an overview of all the important operating and safety aspects to ensure safe,
trouble-free operation. Despite every safety precaution having been taken, every product harbours
residual risks, especially if handled incorrectly. The warranty will only be valid if the instructions in
these installation and operating instructions are observed and followed.
5.1
Proper use
The filter system is used exclusively for iron removal (Fe II) of cold potable water and the
removal of odor, flavor and particles, which may be present in drinking water. The filter is designed
and constructed exclusively for its proper use described within these instructions. Any other use is
deemed improper.

WARNING!
f The filter system may be only be supplied with cold water of drinking water quality.
Improper use, e.g. using the filter to treat water other than that of drinking quality, poses a health
hazard if you were to drink said water. This can be a microbiological hazard if the natural water is
contaminated by microbes. The hazard can also be caused by high concentrations of heavy
metals or organic impurities in the water.
f To protect the drinking water, the national directives for drinking water installations
(e.g. DIN 1988, EN 1717) must be observed during all work on the filter system.
f If you are asked by the relevant authorities to boil the tap water because it is contaminated by
microbes, this applies to the filtered water too. If the authorities later state that the water is
safe to drink, the filter system must be replaced and the connections cleaned. Improper use can
cause damage to your health.
f A type-tested non-return valve in accordance with DIN EN 13959 is integrated into the filter
head. If large kitchen appliances, which due to their contamination potential (e.g. cleaning
chemicals) require a higher level of protection against backflow, are connected downstream of
the filter system, the appropriate safety devices must be integrated into the large kitchen
appliance.
