5.1.5 Determining the fi lter capacity
Based on the carbonate hardness level of the water supply and your application, use the tables in chapter 6 to
identify the recommended bypass setting and the resultant filter cartridge capacity.
Please mark the installation and replacement dates in the corresponding boxes on the cartridge label.
5.2 Safety-related installation instructions
• Water pressure at the filter system inlet must not exceed 8 bar (116 psi). A pressure reducer must be installed on
the water supply side of the filter system if the inlet pressure exceeds 8 bar (116 psi).
• A shut-off valve must be installed upstream of the filter system.
• If a water softener is installed upstream, use filter only for tapwater > 6° dH / 10,7° FH / 107 PPM total hardness.
• All components must be installed according to country-specific guidelines. Check for compliance with state
and local laws and regulations.
• DIN 1988 should be noted for installing and operating the system.
• We recommend only using genuine accessory hoses for the CLARIS system because these have a longer thread.
• If the cartridge is removed from the filter head without being replaced by a new one, the water supply to the
filter head must be shut off.
• Wherever possible the protective strainer supplied with the CLARIS connecting hose should be positioned on
the appliance or water supply side to make optimal use of the connection thread lengths of the filter head.
• Do not connect any devices to the flush valve and/or flush hose.
• The surface of water contacting parts, such as pipes or boilers, will stay clean and blank with the usage of
softening fiters. Without a coating limestone deposit copper ions can migrate at a higher rate into the water,
dependant from feed water quality. To avoid an increased level of copper ions in the water we recommend no
usage of copper or other nickel- coated copper materials. Installations which consist mainly of copper or
nickel-coated copper surfaces should be operated with higher bypass settings, we recommend to use the vending
settings for coffee-espresso also.

6. Settings / Capacities

The unique DuoBlend bypass valve technology enables precise adjustment of carbonate hardness in the filtered
water. It is possible to adjust the bypass level to best suit the appliance type, i.e. hot drinks with steam (COFFEE-
ESPRESSO), without steam (VENDING), as well as for Combi Steamers, Self - Cooking Systems, Steam Cookers
and Ovens whether using direct injection or boiler systems, in order to maximise cartridge capacity taking into
consideration local water quality.

7. Service / Maintenance

Reliable system function can only be achieved if the filter cartridge is replaced on a regular basis.
The replacement cycle depends on the carbonate hardness of the water supply, the application and the
bypass level.
We would recommend replacing the filter cartridge after 6 months and no later than 12 months depending on usage.
The operator undertakes to check the system for leaks every day.
When the filter cartridge is replaced, all parts must be checked for impurities and damage. Damaged parts must be
replaced and impurities remedied.
