Important notes
Protect the A 1000 filter cartride from direct sunlight and mechani-
cal 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 greater than 8.6 bar, a pres-
sure reducer must be installed in front of the filter system. The On
Line Active water filter kit is only suitable for domestic use.
Only water of drinking water quality may be used as intake water
for the BRITA water filter system. The BRITA water filter system is
only suitable for cold water use within the supply water tem-
perature stated in chapter 7. No microbiologically impaired water
or water of unknown quality may be used without appropriate
disinfection.
If you have a low pressure boiler, make sure you only connect the A
1000 to the cold water supply with the angle valve, and not to the
low pressure boiler.
Irrespective of the water used, you should use stainless steel
utensils or kettles with stainless steel heating elements. This is of
particular importance to people who are sensitive to nickel.
In the event: filter first, and then boil
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 con-
nections cleaned.
Ultimate hygiene
• It is generally recommended to boil tap water for certain groups
of people (e.g. people with weak immune systems, babies). This
also applies to filtered water.
Optimum use
• BRITA recommends that the filter system not be decommis-
sioned for a long period. If the BRITA On Line Active 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 stagnation periods of over 4 weeks, the
filter should be flushed with flushing volume Y or else replaced.
Please also note the maximum usage period of the filter car-
tridge is 6 months.

• The filter system must not be opened or dismantled during
operation. The filter cartridge must not be opened. The filter sys-
tem filter head is designed for a service life of 5 years counted
from the date of installation. BRITA filtered water is designed for
human consumption. Use it within 1–2 days.
Natural traces
As with every natural product, the A 1000 parts can be subject to
natural fluctuations. This can lead to a slight abrasion of small car-
bon particles into your filtered water, noticeable as black bits. These
particles have no negative health effects. If ingested, they will not
harm the human body. If you should see any carbon particles in
your filtered water, BRITA recommends flushing out the A 1000
filter cartridge until the particle deposits are washed out.
