The PURITY replacement cartridge may only be used in combination with the pressure vessel that has been specifically designed for its size.
The BRITA PURITY Steam water filter system optimises tap water specially for combi ovens and conventional ovens. It decarbonates drinking water, thereby reducing scale deposits in and on the terminal equipment. Depending on the bypass setting, calcium and magnesium ions as well as heavy metal ions such as lead and copper are selectively removed from the drinking water. In addition, the filter material not only reduces cloudiness and organic impurities but also substances that impair smell and taste, such as chlorine residues.
The bypass setting, which is specially designed for combi ovens and conventional ovens, matches the reduction in the carbonate hardness to the local water hardness in order to achieve an optimum filtrate quality. The increased flow and the reduced pressure loss enable the smooth operation of the combi oven.
The filter systems are available in three different filter system sizes (PURITY 450 Steam, PURITY 600 Steam and PURITY 1200 Steam), each in a version without integrated measuring and display electronics or with measuring and display electronics (Advanced Control System, ACS Technology). Filter systems with ACS Technology show you the current remaining capacity and bypass setting of your filter cartridge, the set type and size of the filter system and the last replacement date of the filter cartridge. This ensures optimum filter control and water filtrate quality. Further information on the filter system with ACS Technology.

Prior to installation, read the Technical Data and the Operating and Safety Information. After the product has been stored and transported at temperatures below 0°C, it must be stored with the original packaging open for at least 24 hours at ambient temperature before commissioning.
Prior to installation, remove the entire delivery scope from the packaging and check that everything is present:
1 x Pressure Vessel
1 x Pressure Vessel Lid
1 x Filter Cartridge
1 x Manual
1 x Carbonate Hardness Test
1 x Sticker for Service Pass (orange)
1 x Adapter 1"–3/4"
If parts of the delivery scope are missing, please contact your local BRITA office (see the back of the cover).
Note: The inlet and outlet hoses are not included in the standard scope of delivery. The use of BRITA hose sets is recommended.
The max. tightening torque at the 1" and 3/4" connections must not exceed 15 Nm! Only hose connections with flat seals may be used. Hoses with conical screwed connections damage the filter head connections and invalidate any guarantee claims. Only hoses that comply with DVGW-W 543 may be used to connect the device.
Before assembly, note the direction of flow on the upper side of the filter head, "IN" = water inlet, "OUT" = water outlet. Prior to installation, note installation dimensions and operating position If no original hoses are used, the 1"–3/4" adapter supplied must be used to ensure the return valve is sealed correctly (pre-fitted in the water inlet).
Representation in operating mode
Carbonate Hardness
The units of carbonate hardness can be set as required to German °dH (= display setting °KH), English (°e = Clark) (= display setting °EH), French (°f) (= display setting °FH), American (grains per gallon) (= display setting gpg) or international hardness values (mg/l CaCO3) (= display setting mg/L). If the setting for the type of hardness (= unit) is changed while the filter is operating, the values that were set originally are converted automatically.
Bar chart
Representation of the remaining capacity using bar charts. After installation of a new filter system or after a filter change, the symbolised filter cartridge is completely filled with 10 bars.
Bypass proportion in percentage
The by-pass proportion is defined as the proportion of decarbonised water in the total amount of filtrate and is indicated as a percentage.
Flow symbol
When water is removed via the filter system, a graphic wave is shown on the display.
Available remaining capacity of the filter cartridge
The remaining capacity of the filter cartridge is shown in litres or in US gallons, depending on which has been selected.
When water is removed, it counts backwards in 1 litre or 1 US gallon stages. If the cartridge is already exhausted, the capacity is indicated as being negative by flashing.
With a remaining capacity of 20% the last two bars in the bar chart start to flash.
With a remaining capacity of 10% the last bar in the bar chart flashes with the two change arrows.
From a remaining capacity of 0% the negative bars and the change arrows flash alternately with the remaining capacity shown in negative.
If the monthly limit has been reached up to a month before expiry of the set time limit, it is signalled by the date field flashing.
If the monthly limit is 100% reached, it is signalled by alternate flashing of the date field and the change arrows.
If the remaining capacity and the monthly limit are exceeded, the negative remaining capacity and the date field flash alternately with the change arrows.
Date of the filter commissioning or last filter cartridge change
The date of filter commissioning or last filter cartridge change is indicated as follows:
Example: 28/10/09 | |
28 | Day, here the 28th day |
10 | Month, here October |
09 | Year, here 2009 |
Selecting the units of measurement
You can choose between European, American and international units of measurement on the display.
For European units of measurement: depending on the type of filter system (STD, STM or FIN), select the specified unit of measurement for water hardness °KH, °EH, °FH or ° DH. The unit of volume and date format are then automatically displayed in litres and DD/MM/YY respectively. For American units of measurement, select gpg (unit of measurement for water hardness); the unit of volume and the date format are then automatically displayed in US gallons and MM/DD/YY respectively.
For international units of measurement, select mg/L (unit of measurement for water hardness); the unit of volume and the date format are then automatically displayed in litres and DD/MM/YY respectively.
Parameterisation
The following parameters have to be entered:
Operating the display unit
To operate the display unit, it must be removed from the connecting fittings. Slide the display housing up approx. 10 mm and pull off the display unit. The display unit is operated using a button on the back of the display unit. The display unit is supplied in standby mode. To activate the display, press the button on the back once briefly and then reset after inputting the parameters.
Parameter input water hardness and filter system size
At this level, parameters needed for operation are set manually. The type and size of filter system is selected, the unit of hardness is set, the local carbonate hardness or total hardness of the tap water is entered, and the maximum cartridge service life (monthly limit) is activated. After this the parameters must be accepted.
The set parameters can now be accepted. If you want to accept the parameters, proceed as follows:
The set parameters have been accepted.
Note: If no input is made within 30 seconds, the display will return to standby or operating mode without accepting amended parameters.
The bypass setting is identified according to the application and the carbonate hardness identified on the basis of the bypass and capacity table. The bypass is then set on the bypass screw as follows:
Turn the bypass screw until the desired bypass (0–3) agrees with the marking.
Use 6 mm or 7/32" Allen key.
Note: Never overwind the by-pass screw to avoid any damage.
Note: A 10 litre bucket is required for flushing/draining.
Note: There is space for several stickers on the pressure vessel. Apply the new sticker with the installation date at the top position.
Note: Filter systems without measuring and display units are now ready for operation.
Filter replacement and maintenance of the filter system may be carried out only by specialist staff.
The PURITY replacement cartridge may only be used in combination with the pressure vessel that has been specifically designed for its size. See cover.
During replacement, carefully examine all dismantled parts! Faulty parts must be exchanged and dirty parts should be cleaned. Read the operating and safety information prior to replacement. After the product has been stored and transported at temperatures below 0°C, it must be stored with the original packaging open for at least 24 hours before commissioning at the ambient temperatures for operation.
Filter systems without a measuring and display unit
The filter cartridge must be replaced after 6–12 months and no later than 12 months after commissioning regardless of the level of exhaustion of the filter system. If the capacity of the filter cartridge has already been exhausted, it must be replaced earlier.
Filter systems with a measuring and display unit
The filter cartridge must be replaced no later than 12 months after commissioning, irrespective of the level of exhaustion of the filter system. If the capacity of the filter cartridge has already been exhausted, it must be replaced earlier.
If the cartridge is already exhausted, the capacity is indicated as being negative by flashing. No bars are shown in the display.
If the monthly limit for the cartridge has been exceeded, this is indicated by the date flashing.
Resetting the display unit
To operate the display unit, it must be removed from the connecting fittings.
Slide the display housing up approx. 10 mm and pull off the display unit. The display unit is operated using a button on the back of the display unit.
Note: This automatically sets the monthly limit to 12 months.
Note: If no input is made within 30 seconds, the display will return to standby or operating mode without accepting amended parameters.
Insert the display unit from the front at a height of approx. 10 mm and slide down. The loops on the display part must be inserted in the grooves on the measuring head.
Use of the PURITY Steam water filter system with integrated measuring and display unit or installation of the BRITA FlowMeter 100–700A is recommended for the precise, continuous control of the degree of filter cartridge exhaustion.
Capacity Table (in litres)
The bypass position can be adjusted to the local water quality or the machine type.
The following recommendations for bypass settings apply by default:
Position 0: All devices in areas with an extremely high water hardness level (> KH = 22 °KH).
Position 1: Combi ovens and conventional ovens with direct injection system Position 2: Combi ovens and conventional ovens with boiler system Position 3: All devices in soft water areas (< KH = 7 °KH).
You can obtain individual recommendations from your BRITA contact.
Note: The stated capacities have been tested and calculated on the basis of common application and machine conditions. External factors (such as fluctuating crude water quality and/or machine type) can cause deviations from this information.
Regularly check the filter system for leaks. Regularly check the hoses for kinks. Bent hoses must be replaced.
The complete filter system must be replaced in rotation after a maximum of ten years. The hoses must be replaced in rotation after a maximum of five years.
Prior to changing, read the Technical Data and the Operating and Safety Information.
Regularly clean the outside of the filter system with a soft, damp cloth.
Do not use any substances incompatible with the material or astringent, abrasive cleaning agents.
The following data can be queried in the query mode:
Production data
Total volume meter
Memory Call-Up
In the Memory Call-Up mode, the data of the last 4 filter cartridges used can be called up. Briefly press button once (< 1 second) until the following message appears:
-1, -2, -3, -4 level – data of the cartridges used before the current one.
At the top left, the indicator for the filter cartridge (-1 for previous filter cartridge) is displayed alternately with the water hardness set and the hardness unit. At the top right, the filter system size is displayed alternately with the bypass setting (display 1 s indicator, 1 s water hardness), at the bottom left, the meter reading when changing the cartridge (-1) and at the bottom right, the installation date of the cartridge.
Meaning: the filter cartridge most recently used was a PURITY 1200 cartridge, the filter cartridge was inserted on 25/06/09 and operated up to a meter reading of 23166 litres.
The water hardness set was 14°KH and the bypass measured was 30%.
The same applies to the cartridge (-2), preceding filter cartridge and the other preceding filter cartridges -3,-4.
Error Messages
Error level E1 indicates whether an error has occurred in blend detection.
E1 is activated as soon as the current bypass is not correctly identified.
The word Start is then displayed together with the date of occurrence.
As soon as the current bypass setting is identified correctly again, the error has ended and the Stop date is added. At error level 01 the Stop and Start display alternates every second.
Error level E2 indicates whether and from when until when an error has occurred at the outlet water meter. Display is similar to level E1.
