3 Usage and design
3.1 Assigned use
This BWT filter cartridge …
is only to be used for decarbonizing cold water fulfilling the legal requirements for drinking
water.
reduces total* hardness and thus protects appliances against lime scale deposits.
minearalizes drinking water with magnesium.
protects against bacteria, cryptosporidium, giardia, protozoa and microplastics and thus pro-
vides hygienically perfect water.
improves flavour of bevarages by removing substances responsible for taste and odor (eg.
chlorine).
filters particles* out of the water.
Any other use is deemed to be non-intended.
3.2 Design and function of the filter system
1 Pre-filtration: Removal of particles
2 Active carbon pre-filtration: Substances responsible for taste and odor (e.g. chlorine) are
removed, no oxidation of ion exchanger
3 Ion exchanger: Decarbonisation and mineralisation with magnesium
4 Active carbon filtration: removal of chlorine, also from bypass water
5 Ultrafiltration: retention of 99.9999% of all bacteria, cryptosporidia, giardia, protozoa, micro-
plastics, as well as natural dyes (e.g., humic acids)
4 Operating and safety instructions
Despite complying with all safety precautions, risks remain especially in case of misuse or
inappropriate handling. Each technical device is to be maintained and serviced regularly to
function properly.
IWARNING!
fAny use contrary to the intended use, e.g., if the filter system is fed with water that is not of drinking water quality, results in a health
hazard when the water is drunk:
- Microbiological hazard due to contamination with pathogenic germs
- Hazard from too high a concentration of heavy metals or organic contamination
fTo protect the drinking water, maintanance and any other work on the filter system has to be carried out considering national directives
for drinking water installations (e.g. DIN 1988, EN 1717) and applicable state and local regulations.
fIf the authorities or the operator of the water supply system release instructions to boil the potable water due to microbial contami-
nation it is necesary to boil the filtered water before consumption. If the drinking water quality is restored the filter system must be
replaced and connections cleaned.
fTwo type-tested non-return valves (in accordance with DIN EN 13959) are included in the filter head.
fSeparate the filter system from the water supply prior to maintenance work on the drinking water supply. Rinse the water line before
reconnecting the filter system.
fDisconnect the power supply of the appliance prior to installation.

ICAUTION!
fObserve 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.
fA check (shut-off) valve upstream of the filter system must be installed.
fUse only connections with gaskets or flat seals. Conical seals damage the filter head connections and will invalidate the warranty claim.
fThe appliance needs to be connected with hoses in accordance with DVGW W 543 or NSF 42/53.
fIf 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.
fDo not install the filter system near heat sources, open fire places or naked flames.
fChemicals, solvents and vapours must not come into contact with the filter system.
fThe installation location must be protected against freezing and direct sunlight.
NOTE!
fFor 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 accor-
dance with Section 7.4 DIN 18879–1.
fThe materials are selected in accordance with the requirements of DIN 18879–1 and EN 14898.
fThe pressure resistance of the filter system conforms to DIN 18879–1.
fThe filtered drinking water conforms to liquid category 2 in accordance with EN 1717.
fClean and descale the appliance, e.g. coffee machine, before firstly installing the filter system.
fFor immunocompromised people and infants it is recommended to boil the tap water before drinking. This also applies to filtered water.
fFor the protection against microbiological growth the filter cartridge contains a small amount of silver (“bacteriostatic”)*. There might
be a harmless release of silver in concentrations 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.
fDuring the filtering process, the magnesium content rises slightly. If a special low-magnesium diet is to be followed, BWT recommends
to seek medical advice.

MMWPC_NeuesDesign_pink.indd 13 05.10.2018 08:43:48

EN
5.2 Fitting the filter bracket
ICAUTION!
fBefore installation, read Technical data (Chapter 2) and Operating/Safety instructions (Chapter 4).
fTo connect the filter system to the appliances only use hoses according to DVGWW 543 or NSF 42/53.
fWhen installing accessories (hoses, connection sets), observe the installation dimensions and bending radii.
To install the filter system, choose a location that enables simple connection to the water
mains.
The bracket has to be aligned and mounted to allow a convenient access and replacement of
the filter cartridge.
The filter system must be securely bolted to a wall using the bracket.
The filter system can be operated in a vertical or horizontal position.
For easy service and replacement of the filter cartidge after installation a minimum clearance/
distance of 65 mm (2.56 inches) is required at the bottom of the cartridge.
When installing the filter cartridge for horizontal operation, ensure that it is resting on the
floor.
5.3 Determining filter capacity and bypass setting
The general hardness can be requested from the water supplier or determined with a titration
test. The bypass setting can be selected based on the general hardness and its application.
The typical filter capacities are shown in Table T1 or T2 (last page).
There are four setting options for the bypass. The default bypass setting is “2”. The bypass
can be set by pressing the button “a” and twisting the cap on the filter head clockwise or
counter clockwise until the required bypass setting is reached and the cap snapps into place.
The bypass should be sealed with the included warranty label. Note month and year on the
label.
NOTE!
fBWT recommends to choose the size of the filter cartridge with its capacity to be due for replacement in 6 month intervals.
5.4 Fitting the filter head
ICAUTION!
fThe filter head is never to be left under mains water pressure without a mounted filter cartridge.
fThe tightening torque of the fittings (inlet/outlet) must not exceed 15 Nm!
NOTE!
fThe integrated Aquastop in the filter head prevents a water flow without mounted filter cartridge.
Insert the filter head into the filter bracket, observe the correct direction of flow.
Mount hoses (observe the bending radii!) for the water intake and outlet at the filter head.
Connect the water intake hose to the existing check/shut off valve in the intake.
Connect the water outlet hose to the appliance.
5.5 Installing a water meter
BWT recommends the installation of a water meter in the inlet of the filter cartridge in case
the filter system is used for a device without an integrated water meter (e.g. coffee machine)
which indicates the required replacement of the filter cartridge. With the water meter the filter
cartridge’s residual capacity can be determined at any time. Observe the operating instructions
of the BWT Aquameter.

5.6 Installing/replacing the filter cartridge
ICAUTION!
fThe filter cartridge may only be installed in a genuine BWT filter head.
fWork cleanly, avoid impurities on the filter system.
fClose the check/shut off valve before exchanging the filter cartridge.
Unpack the filter cartridge and remove the hygienic cap.
Before installing the filter cartridge mark the installation and replacement date (no later than
6 months) on the type label of the filter cartridge.
In case of replacement unscrew the filter cartridge clockwise out of the filter head.
Screw the new filter cartridge counter clockwise into the filter head.
Open the check/shut off valve and check the system for leaks.
NOTE!
fDuring commissioning, the filter has to be purged/flushed.
fTo avoid airlocks during initial installation, turn the cartridge upside down and flush the required volume through the flush valve. Whilst
flushing, press and release the button every 15 seconds for 2–3 seconds each time. This will agitate the resin and help remove any
trapped air bubbles.
fFor the best results, occasionally turn the cartridge upside down whilst it is in use. This will remove any accumulated gases that may be
trapped within the resin. After a few seconds, return the cartridge to the normal upright position.
fThe minimal flushing volume is given in Section 2.2. The volume of purge water is to be dismissed.
6 Service and maintenance
ICAUTION!
fFailure to respect the replacement intervals of the filter cartridge may cause damage to the downstream appliances.
fFailure to replace the filter head or the hoses after 5 years can cause property damage.
Drinking water is food Handle the filter system hygienically. Clean the filter system regularly
with a damp cloth. Work cleanly especially when replacing the filter car-
tridge. Avoid using alcohol based cleaners, acidic and strong chemicals.
Check for leaks Regularly
Check the pressure
hoses Regularly check for breaks, squeezes and pinch points. Replace damaged
hoses.
Break in operation/
shutdown After a break in operation exceeding two days, the filter cartridge should
be purged with a minimum of 4–5 liters (1.1–1.3 US gallons) of water.
Replace filter cartridge After 6 months (regardless of the residual capacity); after a shutdown of more
than 4 weeks
