6. Operation of the device
The water filter system was designed to reduce the carbonate hardness (CH) in the
drinking water which produces scale deposits that may damage the device or
deteriorate the quality of beverages.
Water purification process consists of the following stages:
reduction of the carbonate hardness (CH)
mechanical filtration
mineralisation
The water filter system does not require a bypass mixing valve.

- 18 -
Special resin in the water filter system ensures preparation of the water and eliminates
compounds producing scale deposits, while the filtered water is enriched with minerals.
The drinking water with 5 - 7°CH is ideal for preparation of coffee and tea, while
ensuring great taste and aroma of beverages.

CAUTION!
Before installation check the technical data and during the installation observe
the safety and installation instructions included in these operating instructions.
Installation drawing
1. The shut-off valve must be installed between the water supply installation
and the water filter system. The drain valve must be mounted downstream of
the water filter system on the drain hose to enable reduction of the pressure.
2. If the water pressure exceeds 6 bar, install the pressure regulator upstream of
the water filter system.
3. The water filter system is equipped with the mounting bracket for wall
mounting. It can be mounted horizontally or vertically.
Install the mounting bracket in the desired place.
The mounting bracket is a fixed component of the device and the water filter
system is always replaced along with the mounting bracket.
4. Install the water filter system in compliance with the local standards for drinking
water installation.
5. Perform the test in order to determine the carbonate hardness of water from the
local water supply network.
6. Based on the results of the carbonate hardness test, the relevant volume of water
may be determined (table page 22).
7. In order to precisely determine the quantity of water, it is recommended to install
a water meter (e.g. Water Meter Bartscher 109861) upstream of the filter.
