5 Commissioning a New Filter

5.1 Setting the Bypass

• The bypass setting screw

has been set to 0% at the factory and, if necessary, can

be increased to 10% according to the local water quality or application in question.

If you have any questions about water quality, your supplier or your contact at BRITA

will advise you.

Note: Use Allen key 6mm or 7/32" to adjust the bypass setting screw

5.2 Identifying the Filter Capacity

• Identify the local carbonate hardness or total hardness using the enclosed carbonate

hardness or total hardness test kit.

• Identify the ﬁ lter capacity using the capacity tables (Chapter 7) taking account of the

carbonate or total hardness identiﬁ ed and the bypass setting (Chapter 5.1).

5.3 Flushing and Bleeding the Filter Cartridge

Note: A bucket with a minimum capacity of 10L is needed for ﬂ ushing/bleeding.

,

on inlet hose

while holding the ﬂ ush hose

in the bucket. Flush with at least 10 litres.

6 Exchanging the Filter Cartridge

The ﬁ lter cartridge must be replaced after 6–12 months, at the latest 12 months after

commissioning, irrespective of the level of exhaustion of the ﬁ lter system. If the capacity

of the ﬁ lter cartridge has been exhausted (Chapter 7), it must be replaced earlier.

Caution: During the exchange, carefully examine all dismantled parts! Faulty parts

must be exchanged, dirty parts cleaned! Read the operating and safety information

(Chapter 3) prior to replacement. After the product has been stored at temperatures

below 0 °C, it must be stored with the original packaging open at the ambient temperature

of the place of installation for at least 24 hours before entering use.
