carbonit DUO-HP User Manual

IMPORTANT INFORMATION
ACTIVATED CARBON BLOCK FILTERS
Sintered activated carbon block filters as used in this system differ
fundamentally from:
Table or can filters which do improve the water's flavour (and
p
partially the optics of the water as well) but can only remove
pollutants to a small degree.
Extruded block filters which have to a very high degree agglu-
p
tinated (and therefore ineffective) activated carbon surfaces
based on the molten binders created during the manufacturing
process.
The high-quality activated carbon that is based on coconut shells
and used in the CARBONIT ® block filters has a very high adsorption
capacity. Thereby, for example, substances such as chlorine, lead,
copper, pharmaceutical residues and hormone-related substances
are removed. The minerals stay in the drinking water.
USABLE FILTER CARTRIDGES
The DUO-HP, depending on the version, is equipped with filter
cartridges by the manufacturer. If needed, information on these
and alternative filter cartridges can be gotten from the authorised
CARBONIT ® resellers or on our website.
REPLACEMENT INTERVALS & FILTER PERFORMANCE
The replacement interval of max. 6 months is highly recommended
due to hygienic reasons and is stipulated by DIN 1988 / DIN EN
1717. An earlier change within this time period can however
become necessary if the water flow has become noticeably less. This
is not a defect in the used filter but rather a pointer to the fact that
there are now more and more fine particles in the unfiltered water.
Replacement intervals and filter performance of the other usable
filter cartridges are listed in the respective documents or on our
website www.carbonit.com / My Filter.
CARE/MAINTENANCE
The filter housing is pretty much maintenance-free. When chang-
ing the filter cartridge it is recommended that one cleans it with a
soft cloth and some washing-up liquid; one should also check the
mechanical functions as well as the wear parts (seals, tubes etc.).
WEAR PARTS
Filter cartridge: Please make sure to keep to the replacement
p
intervals.
Seals/tubes: All seals and tubes are wear parts and, if necessary,
p
should be replaced.
DISPOSAL OF THE FILTER CARTRIDGES
As the activated carbon of the CARBONIT ® filter cartridges is made
of coconut shells, the used cartridges can simply be disposed of with
the general household waste.
OTHER PARTICULARS
If one does not adhere to this manual, then any and every warranty
claim is forfeited.
No liability can be assumed for the consequences of using filter
cartridges made by other manufacturers.
