BWT Woda-Pure Mineralizer Installation And Operating Instructions Manual page 8

I
CAUTION!
f Observe all national directives for drinking water installations (e.g. DIN 1988, EN 1717) and
applicable state and local regulations, general sanitary requirements and technical data for
the protection of drinking water.
f A check (shut-off) valve upstream of the filter system must be installed.
f Use only connections with gaskets or flat seals. Conical seals damage the filter head connec-
tions and will invalidate the warranty claim.
f The appliance needs to be connected with hoses in accordance with DVGW W 543 or NSF
42/53.
f If the product has been stored below freezing point (0 °C), leave the unpacked product
at the ambient temperature of the installation location for a minimum of 24 hours prior to
operation.
f Do not install the filter system near heat sources, open fire places or naked flames.
f Chemicals, solvents and vapours must not come into contact with the filter system.
f The installation location must be protected against freezing and direct sunlight.
 NOTE!
f For installation and operation of the filter system, the BG regulation "Rules for Safety and
Health Protection When Working in Kitchens" of the "Food and Beverages" expert committee
of BGZ (BGR111) must be observed. The filter system has been hygiene tested in accordance
with Section 7.4 DIN 18879-1.
f The materials are selected in accordance with the requirements of DIN 18879-1 and EN 14898.
f The pressure resistance of the filter system conforms to DIN 18879-1.
f The filtered drinking water conforms to liquid category 2 in accordance with EN 1717.
f Clean and descale the appliance, e.g. coffee machine, before firstly installing the filter
system.
f For immunocompromised people and infants it is recommended to boil the tap water before
drinking. This also applies to filtered water.
f For the protection against microbiological growth the filter cartridge contains a small
amount of silver ("bacteriostatic")*. There might be a harmless release of silver in concen-
trations below the recommendations of the World Health Organization (WHO). The term
" bacteriostatic" indicates that the system limits the passage or growth of bacteria already
existing in the incoming water*. It does not mean that the water leaving the system is safer
to drink than the water entering it.
f During the filtering process, the magnesium content rises slightly. If a special low-magnesium
diet is to be followed, BWT recommends to seek medical advice.
4.1 Responsibility of the operator
The installation and operating instructions must be kept in the immediate vicinity of the filter
system and must be accessible at any time.
The filter system may only be operated in a technically perfect state ensuring a safe
operation.
The instructions in this installation and operating manual must be followed entirely.
4.2 Warranty and exclusion of liability
BWT warrants to the original purchaser/consumer all equipment that it munufactures to be free
from defects in material and workmanship for a period of 2 years from the date of purchase. This
warranty is subject to exclusions and limitations
The notes and recommendations listed, as well as local drinking water and recycling regulations,
must be met. All information and notes in this installation and operating manual account for
the applicable standards and regulations, state-of-the-art technology as well as our expertise
in water treatment. BWT does not assume any liability for damages or subsequent/secondary
damages arising from:
14
Failure to comply with the instructions in this installation and operating manual
Improper use
Improper or faulty installation
Improper commissioning, operation, maintenance
Mechanical damage of the filter system
Unauthorized modifications
Technical modifications
Use of non-certified, non-approved components
4.3 Qualified personnel
Only authorised, trained persons and professionals shall install, commission and maintain the
filter system.
Authorised, trained persons have obtained instructions regarding the assigned tasks and
possible risks in case of misuse or improper operation.
Professionals are in a position to install, commission and maintain the device, as a result
of their technical training, knowledge and experience, as well as knowledge of applicable
regulations.
4.4 Pressure
I
CAUTION!
f If the maximum nominal pressure exceeds 8 bar (116 psi) a pressure reducer must be installed
upstream of the filter system.
 NOTE!
f Installing a pressure reducer can reduce the flow.
f The inlet pressure of the filter system should be higher than 1.2 bar (17.4 psi).
Pressure surges are to be avoided. If they do occur, the sum of pressure surge and idling
pressure must not exceed the nominal pressure of 8 bar (116 psi). The positive pressure surge
must not exceed 2 bar (29 psi) and the negative pressure shock must not fall below 50% of the
settling flow pressure (see DIN 1988 Part 2.2.4).
4.5 Operation after a break or shutdown / Replacement intervals
In the event of longer breaks in operation, close the shut-off valve in the inlet of the filter system.
After a break in operation exceeding two days (weekends, vacation, ...), rinse the filter system
with 4-5 litres (1.1-1.3 gallons) of water before reuse.
Replace the filter cartridge ...
on reaching the capacity stated in Section 3.2.
no later than 12 months after installation.
after a shutdown of 4 weeks or more.
4.6 Disposal
Dispose of exhausted filter cartridges, surplus parts and packaging according to local
regulations. If local collection points are available, recycle all product components to protect the
environment.
