QuickChange tabletop filter instructions

Note: The complete instructions (with pictures) are available as a PDF in the Downloads tab.

The integrated plug-in/plug-out system makes changing the filter particularly easy. These filters consist of a filter head and a filter cartridge. They offer the highest level of hygienic safety. When the filter medium is changed, the filter housing is also automatically replaced, as both form a unit. There is no need to clean or disinfect the inside of the housing, as with classic systems. Germs cannot get inside the system while the filter is being changed. The user no longer comes into contact with the used or new filter medium. This represents a significant advantage for hygiene.

OPERATION

Remove the aerator from the outlet pipe of your tap, position (1) and adapt the changeover valve with the enclosed seal:
Directly if the faucet has an external thread example (2) or using the adapter (M22/M24) for a faucet with an internal thread example (3).

Despite careful assembly, please check the tightness.
Before you enjoy the first filtered water, let at least 10 liters of water drain out (3 to 4 minutes with the tap fully open), switch valve to the filtration position]. Natural substances are used for technical reasons
rinsed out of the activated carbon with the first liters of water. This procedure must be followed every time you change the filter.

2. Filter change

The QC filter will be replaced after 6 months at the latest. This also applies to only a small amount of water being withdrawn during this time. If you use a lot of water (more than 30 liters a day) or if the water is heavily contaminated with particles, an earlier change may be necessary.

The capacity window is between 3.000 and 10.000 liters. Allow at least 10 liters of water to drain unused from the new filter (3 to 4 minutes).

Pull the entire filter unit upwards out of the sleeve, press the blue release button and click out the filter by turning it to the left.

3. Stagnation water

Basically, according to the recommendations of the UBA (UmweltBundesAmt), water should drain a little (e.g. after 4 hours of stagnation in a pipe) before it is first drawn as drinking water.

For the filter, this means going into filter mode for around 10 to 20 seconds and only then removing water as drinking water.
If you are not using it for several days, first let a few liters drain unused.

The tap for connecting the table-top filter requires a standard thread (22mm or 24mm).

4. Other operating requirements

To clean and disinfect all water-carrying parts (switching valve, filter head, outlet pipe), we recommend using a recognized spray disinfectant (drugstore/pharmacy disinfectant hygiene spray).
The supply hose (diameter 6,35mm [¼“]) should be replaced every 2 years.

5. Housing care

Do not treat the housing with aggressive or abrasive cleaning agents or scouring pads, as these would roughen the surface of the table-top filter.
The surface is deliberately designed so that it can be cleaned with a cloth, detergent and water.

Disposal of filter cartridges

We take the used filter cartridges back and ensure they are disposed of properly! Freight paid by the return sender. Alternatively: Dispose of used filter cartridges with residual waste.
And if the device has to be disposed of after many years: The housing is made entirely of aluminum, all components are screwed and can therefore be separated, so that the materials can be optimally separated and recycled.

Warranty

End users receive a 24-month warranty, dealers 12 months.
The maximum amount of the warranty is limited to the respective new value and is carried out through replacement in kind, exchange, repair or replacement of the purchase price.
We do not provide any guarantees beyond this. A return is possible in accordance with legal requirements.

Liability for damage resulting from normal wear and tear, improper handling, surface damage caused by mechanical influences,
Inappropriate use or non-compliance with the instructions in the operating instructions or the product data sheet is excluded. We are not liable for damage that did not occur to the delivery item itself. No liability is accepted for any consequential damage that arises from operation.
We are also not liable for consequential damage caused by defects. To the extent permitted by law, liability is excluded for any secondary, incidental, consequential, indirect or other damages arising in connection with the purchase, maintenance and use of the product.
The objection of contributory negligence on the part of the customer remains open. Any modification of components or an application other than that specified must be validated by the user and is the user's responsibility.

Important safety requirements:
Filter change after 6 months. The operating instructions specified by the manufacturer must be adhered to.
All filter systems may only be operated with cold water.
In principle, filter systems may not be operated behind unpressurized (ie not pressure-proof) boilers!
The operator must ensure that it is used as intended. New filters must be rinsed with 10 liters of unused water before the first drinking water is drawn. The rules of technology and the legal requirements of the respective country must be taken into account.

Intended use

Only filter cold water, in accordance with the regulations of the valid drinking water regulations. Detailed information and recommendations: [http://bundesrecht.juris.de/trinkwv_2001/index.html].
