How to ush your
BRITA lter after a
period of non-use
PURITY PURITY C
Two main types of BRITA lter are shown below. Once you have identied which lter you have,
use the relevant instructions on the following pages to ush your lter after a period of non-use.

PURITY
1. The hose you need to ush the lter is located on the top of the lter. It is grey in
colour and about 30 cm long – see picture below.
2. The tap to control the water being ushed is black plastic (or sometimes silver metal
and built into the top of the lter – see picture below.
3. To ush the lter you must have a bucket and enough space next to the BRITA
PURITY lter to be able to locate the bucket, so that it can sit at on the oor. If the
lter is in a cupboard you may need to lift the lter out of the cupboard in order to
ush the lter safely and so that the grey hose can reach the bucket. Be careful not to
damage or kink the water hoses when moving the lter from the cupboard.
4. The grey hose must be inside or over the bucket before you start the ushing procedure.
Also make sure that you are holding onto the ush hose before turning the water on,
as if the water pressure is too strong it may cause the hose to ip out of the bucket.
5. Make sure the mains water is turned on and owing through the BRITA water lter
(as it may have been turned off when the equipment was shut down). Turn the black
tap a quarter turn towards the grey hose (this may be a little stiff). As soon as you do
this you will start to get water owing through the grey ush hose into the bucket. If
there is no water ow check that the mains water tap to the lter is turned on; if it is
not, once you do turn it on then the water will start to ow through the grey ush
hose into the bucket.
6. Flush the required amount of water from the lter;
• PURITY 1200 – 120 ltrs
• PURITY 600 – 60 ltrs
This will mean you have to ll several buckets and this will take some time to
complete. DO NOT LEAVE THE FILTER UNATTENDED WHILE FLUSHING, as
this will lead to potential ooding.
7. Once you have ushed the required amount of water through the lter, turn off the
ush tap and secure the grey ush hose around the top of the lter. The lter is now
ready to use.

PURITY C
1. The hose you need to ush the lter is located on the top of the lter.
It is grey in colour and about 10 cm long – see picture right.
2. The mechanism that controls the water being ushed is either a small round grey
button or a small grey slider and built into the top of the lter – see pictures below;
3. To ush the lter you must have a bucket and enough space next to the BRITA PURITY C
lter to be able to locate the bucket, so that it can sit at on the oor. If the lter is in
a cupboard you may need to lift the lter out of the cupboard in order to ush the lter
safely and so that the grey hose can reach the bucket. Be careful not to damage or
kink the water hoses when moving the lter from the cupboard.
4. The grey hose must be inside the bucket before you start the ushing procedure.
Also make sure that you are holding onto the ush hose before turning the water on,
as if the water pressure is too strong it may cause the hose to ip out of the bucket.

5. Make sure the mains water is turned on and owing through the BRITA water lter
(as it may have been turned off when the equipment was shut down). As soon as you
do this you will start to get water owing through the grey ush hose into the bucket.
If no water ows, check that the mains water tap to the lter is turned on; if it is not,
once you do turn it on then the water will start to ow through the grey ush hose
into the bucket.
6. If you are still unable to get any water to ush through the grey ush hose, check to
make sure that the blue handles on either side of the PURITY C head are positioned
correctly (see picture below). Once you turn the handles into this position the water
should ow through the grey ush hose as long as you press the ush button down
or slide the mechanism open.
7. Flush the required amount of water from the lter;
• C50 – 20 litres
• C150 – 30 litres
• C300 – 60 litres
• C500 – 100 litres
• C1100 – 180 litres
• AC1000 – 10 litres
This could mean you have to ll several buckets and this will take some time to
complete. DO NOT LEAVE THE FILTER UNATTENDED WHILE FLUSHING, as
this will lead to potential ooding.
8. Once you have ushed the required amount of water through the lter, turn off the
ush tap. The lter is now ready to use.
Make sure the blue handles either
side of the head are in this position,
or water will not ush through
the grey ush hose.
