3 mypure P1 Compact Water Filtration System
– easy installation
Before starting, please check that you have all the components
listed above (see fig. 1) as well as the recommended tools.
There are 7 steps to the installation.
Prior to installation, read the Technical Data (chapter 6) and
the Important Information (chapter 8). After storage and
!
transport below 0°C, the product must be stored in the open
original packaging for at least 24 hours at the stated ambient
temperatures (chapter 6) for operation.
3.1 Step 1: Selecting the carbonate hardness
setting (A/B/C) on the filter head
The filter head offers three settings for medium hard water (A), hard
water (B) and very hard water (C). Please follow the instructions
below to adjust to the right setting for your local water. First carry
out a carbonate hardness test using the supplied testing strip. The
strip can be found in the outer wrapping of these Usage Instruc-
tions.
Using the testing strip:
• I mmerse all reaction zones of the test strip in a glass of your
r egular tap water (15 - 30 °C) for 1 second (not in running
water!). (fig. 2).
• S hake off excess liquid from the strip and after 1 min check how
many reaction zones changed their colour on the test strip.
Depending on the number of reaction zones that changed their
colour, we recommend setting your filter head as follows:
Setting
number of reaction
zones that changed
their colour
capacity P 1000 up to 1200 L
P 3000 up to 3400L
German Carbonate
Hardness [°dH]
English Carbonate
Hardness [°eH]
French Carbonate
Hardness [°fH]
Milligram per Litre
CaCO [mg/L CaO ]
3 3
A B
up to 600 L up to 400 L
up to 1700 L up to 1100 L
up to 10 10 to 17 above 17 dH
up to 13 13 to 21
up to 18 18 to 30
178 178 to 303
(fig. 2)
Now you can change the setting for the hardness of your water.
The filter head is set to "B" by default. To change the setting, use
an Allen key (4 mm). Turn in the direction of the arrow until the
"C" symbol appears in the window. Turn against the direction of
the arrow until the "A" symbol appears in the window (fig. 3). The
filter head contains a flow regulator already installed. It guarantees
smooth water flow from your BRITA Dispenser even at higher
water pressures.
3.2 Step 2: Starting the BRITA Cartridge Status
Indicator
The BRITA Cartridge Status Indicator reminds you through three dif-
ferent coloured flashing lights when to exchange the filter cartridge.
A Commissioning:
Remove the battery strip.
The BRITA Cartridge Status Indicator shows the default setting:
the left LED will flash two times for the hardness setting B and the
right LED will flash once for the cartridge setting P 1000.
Please reset the BRITA Cartridge Status Indicator before the initial
i nstallation.
