2 General Information
2.1 Function and Application
PURITY C is a filter system specially designed by BRITA for use in catering to ensure constantly
high water quality for individual customer applications as well as reliable and simple operation.
The unique IntelliBypass ensures a constant by-pass proportion of water for the entire usage period,
irrespective 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
EN
locking handle ensures simple and reliable operation.
The food grade quality provided by the BRITA PURITY C filter system has been tested and confirmed by
independent institutes. Product-specific certifications are located on the label and also at www.brita.net.
2.1.1 PURITY C Quell ST
PURITY C Quell ST filter cartridges reduce the carbonate hardness in drinking water, thus preventing
scale deposits in the downstream terminal equipment. Depending on the by-pass setting, calcium,
magnesium and metal ions can be selectively removed from the drinking water during the flow process.
In addition to cloudiness and organic pollutants, the filter material also reduces the level of substances
impairing smell and taste, such as chlorine residues in the filtrate and in the by-pass water.
Typical areas of application for PURITY C Quell ST are coffee and espresso machines, hot and cold
drink vending machines.
2.1.2 PURITY C Finest
The PURITY C Finest filtrate helps to produce the unique coffee aroma – especially in espressos –
and allows the body of the coffee to develop. The characteristics of the coffee crema are experienced
in their full intensity.
The PURITY C Finest filter cartridges reduce the total hardness in drinking water, thereby avoiding
limescale and gypsum deposits in the downstream appliance.
Calcium, magnesium and metal ions are selectively removed from the drinking water using the
flow method.
