Important notes

Protect the P 1000 water filter cartridge from direct sunlight and
mechanical damage. Do not assemble near sources of heat and
open flames. A stop valve must be installed before the filter system
intake hose. If the water pressure is greater than 8.6 bar, a pres-
sure reducer must be installed in front of the filter system. The
mypure P1 Filtration System is only suitable for domestic use.
Only water of drinking water quality may be used as intake water
for the BRITA water filter system. The BRITA water filter system is
only suitable for cold water use within the supply water tem-
perature stated in chapter 6. No microbiologically impaired water
or water of unknown quality may be used without appropriate
disinfection.
If you have a low pressure boiler, make sure you only connect the
P 1000 to the cold water supply with the angle valve, and not to
the low pressure boiler.
Irrespective of the water used, you should use stainless steel
utensils or kettles with stainless steel heating elements. This is of
particular importance to people who are sensitive to nickel.
In the event: filter first, and then boil
If there are official instructions to boil tap water, the filter system
must be decommissioned. When the requirement to boil water
comes to an end, the filter cartridge must be replaced and the con-
nections cleaned.
Ultimate hygiene
• For hygiene reasons, the filter 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 Organisation
(WHO) recommendations for drinking water.
• It is generally recommended to boil tap water for certain groups
of people (e.g. people with weak immune systems, babies). This
also applies to filtered water.
• Note for people with kidney disease or dialysis patients: The fil-
tering process can cause a small rise in the levels of potassium.
• The water filtrate is classified in Category 2 according to
EN 1717 .

Optimum use

• BRITA recommends that the filter system is not left unused for
a long period. If the mypure P1 Filtration System is not used for
several days (2–3 days), we recommend that the filter system be
flushed with the flushing volume X indicated in the table below.
After stagnation periods of over 4 weeks, the filter should be
flushed with flushing volume Y or else replaced. Please also note
the maximum usage period of the filter cartridge is 12 months.

mypure P1 Filtration System must not be opened or dismantled
during operation. The filter cartridge must not be opened.mypure
P1 Filtration System is designed for a service life of 10 years
(counted from the date of installation).
BRITA filtered water is designed for human consumption.
Use it within 1–2 days.
Sensitive to potassium?
The filtering process can cause a small rise in the levels of potas-
sium. However, one litre of BRITA filtered water contains less
potassium than an apple, for example. If you have kidney disease
and/or have to observe a special potassium diet, we recommend
that you consult your doctor before using the water filter.
Natural traces
As with every natural product, the P 1000 parts can be subject
to natural fluctuations. This can lead to a slight abrasion of small
carbon particles into your filtered water, noticeable as black bits.
These particles have no negative health effects. If ingested, they
will not harm the human body. In case you observe carbon parti-
cles, BRITA recommends flushing out the P 1000 filter cartridge
until the black bits disappear.
