ACTIVATED CARBON BLOCK FILTERS
Sintered activated carbon block filters as used in this system differ
fundamentally from:
p Table or can filters which do improve the water's flavour (and
partially the optics of the water as well) but can only remove
pollutants to a small degree.
p Extruded block filters which have to a very high degree agglu-
tinated (and therefore ineffective) activated carbon surfaces
based on the molten binders created during the manufacturing
process.
The high-quality activated carbon that is based on coconut shells
and used in the CARBONIT® block filters has a very high adsorption
capacity. Thereby, for example, substances such as chlorine, lead,
copper, pharmaceutical residues and hormone-related substances
are removed. The minerals stay in the drinking water.
USABLE FILTER CARTRIDGES
The DUO-HP, depending on the version, is equipped with filter
cartridges by the manufacturer. If needed, information on these
and alternative filter cartridges can be gotten from the authorised
CARBONIT® resellers or on our website.
REPLACEMENT INTERVALS & FILTER PERFORMANCE
The replacement interval of max. 6 months is highly recommended
due to hygienic reasons and is stipulated by DIN 1988 / DIN EN
1717. An earlier change within this time period can however
become necessary if the water flow has become noticeably less. This
is not a defect in the used filter but rather a pointer to the fact that
there are now more and more fine particles in the unfiltered water.
Replacement intervals and filter performance of the other usable
filter cartridges are listed in the respective documents or on our
website www.carbonit.com / My Filter.
CARE/MAINTENANCE
The filter housing is pretty much maintenance-free. When chang-
ing the filter cartridge it is recommended that one cleans it with a
soft cloth and some washing-up liquid; one should also check the
mechanical functions as well as the wear parts (seals, tubes etc.).
WEAR PARTS
p Filter cartridge: Please make sure to keep to the replacement
intervals.
p Seals/tubes: All seals and tubes are wear parts and, if necessary,
should be replaced.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
USER MANUAL

Fresh spring water at home - with the DUO-HP manufactured by
CARBONIT® not a problem at all. In an instant a healthy thirst
quencher flows from one's water taps at home. The technology can

off the cold water supply at the angle valve and tighten all connections
of the pre-assembled components! Put the filter cartridges into the
filter cups (if not pre-assembled) and tighten the union nuts with the
supplied plastic wrench (a bit more than hand-tight).
Your drinking water is now ready for use!
To keep the filtered water clean and
fresh, the filter cartridges must be
replaced after six months.

1 Loosen the existing cold water line at the
angle valve (attention: close angle valve!)
The connection material is made to fit
3/8" threads.
2 Let the filter housing inlet hose snap into
the coupling by means of a quick coupling
plug on the "IN" side of the filter housing,
screw the other hose end tightly to angle
valve of the cold water supply (see 3 )
Attach the second hose that is provided to
the filter housing outlet "OUT" by means of
the quick coupling, connect the other end
(elbow) to existing or separate fittings
(see 4 ).
3 For serial flow, mount the T-piece to the
angle valve and also connect the loosened
connection of 1 as well as the inlet hose to
the T-piece.
For parallel flow, attach the inlet hose
directly to the angle valve.
The use of the elbow is optional
(unfavourable layout of the line,
compression fitting).
