1 Introduction
1.1 Function and Application Area
PROGUARD Gastronomy 200 is a filter system designed for use with appliances in catering to ensure
constantly high water quality for individual customer appliances as well as reliable and simple operation.
It is an electric RO system that combines several water treatment technologies. It is designed for the
desalination of potable water with a pre-treatment of carbon block filtration for the production of high
water quality. The water thus produced is intended to be used as feed water for Steam and Clean
applications only, especially combi-steamers, baking ovens and dishwashers. The performed desali-
nation protects the machines from particles, limescale and gypsum deposits as well as corrosion.

1.4 Disposal and Recycling
Make sure the disposal of PROGUARD Gastronomy 200, its refill components (e.g., cartridges) and its
spare parts (e.g., pump) is in accordance with the local regulations.
1.5 Warranty Provisions
PROGUARD Gastronomy 200 is subject to the statutory warranty to the original end user. The warranty
period commences on the date of purchase and is administered as follows:
• For a period of TWO YEARS the entire system and replaceable components (excluding pre-
filter cartridges)
• For a period of ONE YEAR the pre-filter cartridge

Application for computing devices such as notebooks, tablets or smartphones, hereinafter
referred to as "App".
A water filtration method that separates the incoming raw water into so-called permeate
and concentrate. Within the scope of PROGUARD Gastronomy 200, semi-permeable
membranes are used that act as a separator by allowing only water molecules and gases like
carbon dioxide to pass while retaining larger molecules and ions.
Water that is provided by the municipal water main (usually untreated drinking water).
The share of RO-treated water that passed through a semi-permeable membrane is called
permeate. The membranes of PROGUARD Gastronomy retains ≥ 97 % of all salts in the
water. Thus, permeate is very pure water that consists almost exclusively of water molecules.
The share of RO-treated water that did not pass through a semi-permeable membrane is
called concentrate. In addition to the original salinity of the raw water, concentrate also contains
all those salts that have been retained by the semi-permeable membrane.
The sum of calcium and magnesium ions in the water. These ions can cause deposits like
scale or gypsum.
One can differentiate between two different types of water hardness: Carbonate hardness
and permanent hardness.
The conductivity level is determined by the amount of all salts present in the water. Together
with the measured degree of carbonate hardness, it serves as a relatively good indicator to
determine whether the local raw water causes, if untreated, an increased chance of corrosion
in a downstream installed Steam machine.
Indicates the sum of the dissolved solids (salts) in the water. The TDS value is derived from
the measured conductivity.
The App makes a recommendation as to whether PROGUARD Gastronomy 200 or any other
solution of the BRITA Professional Filter portfolio is the appropriate product for the intended
use. With regard to the installation of PROGUARD Gastronomy 200 the App is essential to
support with links to installation video and step-by-step tutorial.
