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.
