2.1 Safety measures
●Only operate your product if all components are installed
properly.
●Obey the local regulations on drinking water protection, acci-
dent prevention and occupational safety.
●Do not make any changes, alterations or extensions on your

Failure to comply can result in the microbiological contamina-
tion of your drinking water system.
2.1.1 Pressure-related hazards
●Components can be under pressure. There is a risk of injuries
and damage to property due to escaping water and unex-
pected movement of components. Check the pressure lines
and the product for leaks at regular intervals.
●Before starting repair and maintenance work, make sure that
all affected components are depressurised.

3 Product description
3.1 Intended use
●The fine filters BOXER KX and BOXER KDX are designed for
filtering drinking water.
●The fine filter BOXER KDX with pressure reducer in addition
is suitable for the adjustment of the outlet pressure on the
withdrawal side in order to maintain the max. admissible oper-
ating pressure stipulated in DIN EN 806-2. The adjustment of
the outlet pressure on the withdrawal side, however, only
works when applied in the positive pressure range.
●The filters can be used for positive and negative pressure ap-
plications.
●The filters are designed according to the stipulations of
DIN EN 13443-1 and DIN 19628 and are intended for installa-
tion into drinking water pipes according to DIN EN 806-2 (in-
stallation immediately downstream of the water meter).
●They protect the water pipes and connected water-carrying
system parts from disturbances and corrosion damage due to
undissolved impurities (particles) such as rust particles, sand,
etc.
3.1.1 Foreseeable misuse
●The filters are not suitable for circulation water that has been
treated with chemicals.
●The filters are neither suitable for oils, greases, solvents,
soaps and other lubricating media, nor for the separation of
water-soluble substances.

3.3 Functional description
The unfiltered drinking water flows into the filter through the inlet
side and from the outside in through the filter element and to the
pure water outlet. Thus, foreign particles of a size > 100 µm are re-
tained.
Depending on their size and weight, the foreign particles either stick
to the filter element, or they fall straight down into the filter cylinder.
In the fine filter BOXER KDX, the flow-optimised pressure reducer,
which is designed according to DIN EN 1567, additionally enables
the outlet pressure on the withdrawal side to be set to 1 –6 bar
(factory setting: 4 bar).
3.4 Accessories
You can retrofit your product with accessories. Please contact your
local Grünbeck representative or Grünbeck’s headquarters in
Hoechstaedt/Germany for details.
