3. Intended use
The BWT water ltering system may only be operated with cold water
fullling the legal requirements made on drinking water quality.
The water lter is unsuitable for the production of drinking water; i.e. the
lter may not be used for treatment of contaminated water.
The BWT ltered water is intended for short-term use. It may not be exposed
to direct radiation of the sun, is to be stored in a cool place and not longer
than 24 hours. If the ltered water is kept longer than 24 hours in the water
ltering system, white marks may occur in the jug through the evaporation
of water, which can easily be removed through cleaning.
After ltering more than 3 litres continuously, a 15 minute pause should be
made.
Permanent water contact to the lter cartridge is not particularly necessary in
order to guarantee long-term operation of the lter cartridge. The lter cart-
ridge continues to function, even if it is taken out of the water for some time.
If ‚Ofcially‘ you are requested to boil the tap water due to contamination
with germs, this still applies to BWT ltered water. When the authorities
classify the tap water again as harmless and release it for consumption, the
lter cartridge must be changed. The water ltering system is to be cleaned
(see chapter 6.1 and 8).
For certain groups of people, e.g. people with limited immune defence and
for the preparation of baby food, the BWT ltered water is to be boiled.
For hygienic reasons the lter cartridge contains small quantities of silver, in
order to suppress the growth of germs. A small quantity of silver may be given
off to the water. It is harmless and in compliance with the corresponding re-
commendations of the World Health Organization (WHO) for potable water.
The lter cartridge should be replaced at least 4 weeks after its rst use.
