IMPORTANT:
1) Always remove the Germ-STOP filter and

this is normal because, due to safety issues,
the filter adheres to the hopper in order to
prevent unwanted leakages.
Do not wash the cartridge and filter with soap
or detergents.
2) Never wash Germ Stop filter with tap water
and never filter directly tap water with Germ-
STOP filter. Always use water already filtered
by Bi-flux cartridge.
IMPORTANT NOTES FOR PRODUCT USE
This system is for use on water supplies that have
been treated to public water system standards or
that otherwise are determined to be microbiologically
safe as demonstrated by routine testing. This system
has been tested to demonstrate protection against
intermittent accidental microbiological contamination
of otherwise safe drinking water.
• The Laica filtration system maintains the pH value
within the range indicated by European Directive
98/83/EC concerning the quality of water meant for
human consumption.
• The activated carbon contained in the Biflux filter
may release a certain amount of fine powder (which
is in no way harmful).
• Silver is used in the Bi-flux cartridge to grant its
bacteriostatic action. Any release of silver ions
falls under the guidelines from the World Health
Organization (WHO).
• Germ-STOP filter flow rate and life time may vary
depending on the quantity, quality and temperature
of the filtered water.
