Only water of drinking water quality may be used as intake water for the PURITY C water fi lter •
system. The PURITY C 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

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 fi lter 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.
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 •
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.
