2 General Information
2.1 Function and Application
MAVEA PURITY C is a filter system specially designed for use in food and beverage environments
to ensure consistently high water quality for individual customer applications as well as reliable and
simple operation.
The unique IntelliBypass ensures a constant by-pass proportion for the entire usage period, irrespec-
tive of the volumetric flow of the terminal equipment used. The result is consistently high water
quality specially tailored to the requirements of the application and the local water conditions.
By reliably locking the filter cartridge in the filter head and controlling the water flow, the innovative
locking handle ensures simple and reliable operation.
The filter cartridges of the PURITY C50/150/300 Quell ST system reduce the carbonate hardness*
in drinking water, thus preventing limescale deposits in the downstream terminal equipment. Using
the flow method, calcium*, magnesium ions* and heavy metal ions* (e.g. lead and copper) are
selectively reduced from the drinking water via an ion exchanger. Furthermore, the filter material
binds contents that impair odor and taste (i.e. chlorine residues in the filtrate and the by-pass water),
as well as organic impurities* and cloudiness*.
Typical applications for PURITY C50/150/300 Quell ST include coffee and espresso machines, hot
and cold drinks machines as well as combi steamers and conventional ovens.
* Not performance tested or certified by NSF.
2.2 Guarantee Provisions
The PURITY C filter system is subject to the guarantee of 2 years. A guarantee claim may be
asserted only if all instructions in this handbook are followed and observed.

3 Operating and Safety Information
3.1 Qualified Personnel
Installation and maintenance of the filter system may be carried out only by trained or authorized
personnel.
3.2 Correct Use
Proper operation of the filter system is subject to the installation, use and maintenance described in
this manual.
3.3 Liability Exclusion
Installation must be performed precisely in accordance with the instructions in this manual. Neither
MAVEA LLC nor any affiliated company shall be held liable for any kind of damage, including direct

3.4 Specific Safety Information
Only water of drinking water quality may be used as intake water for the PURITY C water filter•
system. The PURITY C water filter system is only suitable for cold water use within the water
intake temperature range stated in Chapter 9. No microbiologically impaired water or water of
unknown quality may be used without appropriate disinfection.
If there are official instructions to boil tap water, the filter system must be decommissioned.•
When the requirement to boil water comes to an end, the filter cartridge must be replaced and
the connections cleaned.
For hygienic reasons, the filter material of the cartridge is subjected to a special treatment with•
silver. A small quantity of silver, which is harmless to health, may be released into the water.
This is in compliance with the World Health Organization (WHO) recommendations for drinking
water.
It is generally recommended to boil tap water for certain groups of people (e.g. people with•
weakened immune systems, babies). This also applies to filtered water.
Note for people with kidney disease or dialysis patients: during the filter process, the potassium•
content may be increased slightly. If you suffer from kidney disease and/or have to stick to a
special potassium diet, we recommend prior agreement with your doctor.

MAVEA LLC recommends that the filter system not be left unused for a long period. If the
PURITY C filter system is not used for several days (2–3 days), we recommend that the filter system
be flushed with the flushing volume X indicated in the table below. After periods of non-use of over
4 weeks, the filter should be flushed with flushing volume Y or else replaced. Please also note that
the maximum usage period of the filter cartridge is 12 months (Chapter 6).

3.5 Technical Safety Assembly Instructions
The terminal equipment operated with the filter must be free of limescale prior to installation.•
Protect the filter system from sunlight and mechanical damage. Do not assemble near sources•
of heat and open flames.
A stop valve must be installed before the filter system intake hose.•
If the water pressure is higher than 8.6 bar (125 psi), a pressure reducer must be installed in•
front of the filter system.
The filter head may be connected to the mains only with a non-return valve according to•
EN 13959 or higher quality protection against return flows (see Chapter 10).
No copper pipes and no galvanized or nickel-plated pipes/connectors may be installed between•
the water filter and consumer. When choosing the material for parts that come into contact with
water after the MAVEA filter system it must be remembered that, due to the process, decar-
bonized water contains free carbon dioxide.
All parts must be installed in accordance with the country-specific requirements on the installa-•
tion of drinking water facilities.

Chlorine reduction
The PURITY C water filter system has been tested according to NSF/ANSI 42 for reduction of chlo-
rine. The concentration of chlorine in water entering the system was reduced to a concentration less
than or equal to the permissible limit for water leaving the system, as specified in NSF/ANSI 42.
While testing was performed under standard laboratory conditions, actual performance of the sys-
tem may vary.
