3.4 Specific safety information
• Water used as intake water for the PURITY C water filter system must be of drinking water quality.
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 hygiene 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 Organisation (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 you consult your doctor beforehand.
• VIVREAU recommends not to decommission the filter system for long periods. If the VIVREAU
PURITY C filter system is not used for several days, we recommend that the filter system be
flushed with the volume of water indicated in the table below.
