General Information

2.1 Function and Application
PURITY C is a filter system specially designed by VIVREAU 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 nearly constant bypass proportion 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 locking handle ensures simple and reliable operation.
The food quality provided by the VIVREAU PURITY C filter system has been tested and confirmed by independent institutes. Product-specific certifications are located on the label and also at www.vivreau.com/professional-filters

2.1.1 PURITY C Quell ST / PURITY C Quell ST Advanced
PURITY C Quell ST / PURITY C Quell ST Advanced filter cartridges reduce the carbonate hardness* in drinking water, thus preventing scale deposits in the downstream terminal equipment.
Depending on the bypass 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 and chloramine¹ residues in the filtrate and the bypass water.
Typical areas of applications for PURITY C Quell ST are coffee and espresso machines, hot and cold drink vending machines as well as combi ovens and conventional ovens.

*Not performance tested and certified by NSF.
¹Only for PURITY C Advanced

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.

The filter material not only reduces cloudiness* and organic pollutants*, but also the level of substances that impair the smell and taste, such as chlorine residues in the filtrate. The PURITY C Finest is typically used in coffee and espresso machines.
Caution: The PURITY C Finest is not suitable for use with combi ovens and conventional ovens. Operation is not recommended in combination with domestic water-softening systems.
PURITY C Finest cartridges must be operated with a bypass setting of 0%.

2.1.3 PURITY C Steam Advanced
The PURITY C Steam water filter system optimises tap water specially for combi ovens and conventional ovens. It decarbonates drinking water, thereby reducing scale deposits in and on the terminal equipment. Depending on the bypass setting, calcium* and magnesium ions* as well as metal ions* such as lead and copper are selectively removed from the drinking water. In addition, the filter material not only reduces turbidity* and organic impurities* but also substances that impair smell and taste, such as chlorine and chloramine.
The bypass setting, which is specially designed for combi ovens and conventional ovens, matches the reduction in the carbonate hardness to the local water hardness in order to achieve an optimum filtrate quality. The increased flow and the reduced pressure loss enable the smooth operation of the combi oven.

2.1.4 PURITY C AC
The PURITY C1000 AC filter cartridge reduces cloudiness*, organic pollutants* as well as the level of substances impairing smell and taste, such as chlorine residues. The filter material retains particles down to a size of 0.5 µm.
Typical areas of application for PURITY C1000 AC are vending machines and on-tap watercoolers.

2.1.5 PURITY C XtraSafe
The VIVREAU PURITY C1100 XtraSafe water filter system optimizes tap water specially for coffee and vending machines as well as for combi ovens and conventional ovens in gypsum and corrosive water areas. With complete desalination of drinking water, it is reducing scale and gypsum deposits and risk of corrosion in and on the terminal equipment. Calcium and magnesium ions, chlorides and sulphates as well as metal ions such as lead and copper are selectively removed from the drinking water. In addition, the filter material not only reduces turbidity but also substances that impair smell and taste, such as chlorine.

The recommended by-pass setting, which is specially designed for Coffee and Steam applications, matches the reduction in electrical conductivity in order to achieve an optimum filtrate quality and to protect the machines. The increased flow and the reduced pressure loss enable the smooth operation of the combi oven. The PURITY C1100 XtraSafe filter cartridge must be replaced once the filter capacity calculated individually on the VIVREAU Professional FIlter website has been reached, in accordance with manufacturer´s specifications or no later than 12 months after commissioning, whichever occurs first. For tracking, the usage of a VIVREAU FlowMeter is highly recommended.

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.
• 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.

3.5 Technical safety assembly instructions

• The appliance in which the filter is used must be free of limescale prior to installation.
• Protect the filter system from sunlight and mechanical damage. Do not assemble near sources of heat and open flames.
• A stop valve must be installed before the filter system inlet hose.
• If the water pressure is higher than 8.6 bar (125 psi), a pressure reducer must be installed in front of the filter system.
• When choosing the material for parts that come into contact with water after the VIVREAU filter system, it is important to remember that, due to the process, decarbonised water contains free carbon dioxide. For this reason, only materials that are compatible with free carbon dioxide must be used.
  Note: The water is not decarbonised when using PURITY C AC filter cartridges.
• All parts must be installed in accordance with the country-specific guidelines on the installation of drinking water facilities.

Installation

Caution: Prior to installation, read the technical data (Chapter 9) and the operating and safety information (Chapter 3). After storage and transport below 0 °C (32 °F), the product must be stored in the open original packaging for at least 24 hours before it is commissioned at the stated ambient temperatures (Chapter 9) for operation.

4.1 Assembling the filter head, water connection

● Close the water intake and switch off the power supply to the end device. ● Fit the wall mounting bracket ⑤ in the intended position. Caution: When fitting the bracket, note the installation dimensions, bending radii of the hoses and dimensions of the accessories (e.g. VIVREAU Flow Meter). When using the wall mount, install vertically only! The PURITY C1100 cannot be installed using the wall mounting bracket. ● Fit the hoses to the water inlet “IN” ④ and outlet “OUT” ③ on the filter head ①. Caution: The max. tightening torque at the connections must not exceed 14 Nm! ● When using PURITY C 0-70% filter heads, check bypass setting 10 (set to 30% at the factory) and if necessary adjust this setting to the local carbonate hardness (chapter 4.2). ● Lock the filter head ① in the wall mounting bracket ⑤.

4.2 Bypass setting for and capacity of PURITY C 0 – 70% filter heads

• Determine the carbonate hardness (for PURITY C filter cartridges) by performing the VIVREAU carbonate hardness test. Alternatively, your local water supplier will be able to provide information on the local water hardness.
• Determine the bypass setting and capacity in line with the application and the carbonate hardness identified using the bypass and capacity table (pages 2–5).
• Then turn the bypass setting 10 to the identified value.
• To ensure precise and continuous control of the degree of filter cartridge exhaustion, it is recommended to install the VIVREAU FlowMeter 10 – 100 A.
• Note: With PURITY C1000 AC and PURITY C Finest filter cartridges, all of the intake water is filtered. The filter cartridge can be used with filter heads that have a variable or fixed bypass. The bypass that may be set in the filter head is not taken into account.

4.3 Inserting the filter cartridge

● Pull the flap of the protective cap ⑦ upwards and remove the protective cap. ● Note the next exchange date in the date field on the filter cartridge ⑥. ● Insert the filter cartridge ⑥ in the filter head ① in a vertical position. Caution: The filter cartridge can only be inserted when the locking handle is open. ● Make sure that the filter cartridge is positioned correctly. ● Turn the locking handle ② until you feel it engage.

4.4 Commissioning

• Open the water intake and switch on the terminal equipment’s power supply. • Operate the flush valve ⑧ and flush the filter system until the filtered water runs clear and without bubbles. At least two empty filter cartridge volumes must be flushed ( Chapter 9). Note: When bleeding/flushing, catch water emerging from the flush hose ⑨ in an appropriate container. • Check system for any leaks.

Changing the filter cartridge

The PURITY C filter cartridge must be replaced once the stated capacity has been reached (see Chapter 6), in accordance with manufacturer´s specifications or no later than 12 months after commissioning, whichever occurs first.

Caution: When changing a filter cartridge, examine all remaining parts carefully! Faulty parts must be exchanged and contaminated parts should be cleaned. Read the operating and safety information (Chapter 3) before changing the cartridge. After storage and transport below 0 °C (32 °F) the product must be stored in the open original packaging for at least 24 hours before it is commissioned at the stated ambient temperatures (Chapter 9) for operation. !

Note: When the locking handle is open, the water supply to the cartridge is interrupted and short circuit operation with direct water flow from the water inlet ④ to the water outlet ③ is possible (if necessary, close the water intake and switch off the power supply to the terminal equipment).

• Open locking handle ②.
• Activate the flush valve ⑧ and depressurise the system.
• Remove exhausted filter cartridge ⑥ from the filter head ①, bearing in mind the weight of the car tridge. Note: The filter cartridge can be pivoted by 90 ° in the wall mounting bracket for easy removal.
• Perform the steps described at 4.3 and 4.4.

Bypass and capacity tables

The capacity tables for the PURITY C filter systems are provided on pages 2–5. The capacities shown in the capacity tables are based on German carbonate hardness and are not certified by NSF.
Note: The stated capacities were tested and calculated based on standard application and machine conditions. This information may vary according to external influencing factors.
The PURITY C1000 AC has a filter capacity of 10,000 litres, regardless of the carbonate hardness and the bypass set. All intake water is filtered.
For PURITY C1100 XtraSafe please use the VIVREAU Professional Filter website for individual capacity calculation:

• Please go to the capacity calculation on the website https://vivreauwater.com/products/purity-c1100-xtrasafe/
• Enter locally measured Carbonate Hardness, Total Hardness and Conductivity
• Important: Set the by-pass accordingly, track the individually calculated capacity and change the cartridge in time!

Repair

Regularly check the filter system for leaks. Regularly check the hoses for kinks. Bent hoses must be replaced.
The complete filter system must be replaced in rotation after a maximum of ten years. The hoses must be replaced in rotation after a maximum of five years.

Caution: Before replacing filter systems or hoses, read the technical data (Chapter 9) and the operating and safety information (Chapter 3).
Regularly clean the outside of the filter system with a soft, damp cloth.
Caution: Do not use any abrasive chemicals, cleaning solutions or astringent cleaning agents.

Troubleshooting

8.1 No water flow

Cause:	Water intake closed.
Troubleshooting:	Open the water intake at the upstream stop valve or by closing the locking handle ② on the filter head ①.

8.2 No or low water flow in spite of open water intake

Cause:	Mains pressure too low.
Troubleshooting:	Check mains pressure. If the fault continues, check the filter system and filter cartridge and replace if necessary.
Cause:	Filter head not mounted in direction of flow.
Troubleshooting:	Dismantle filter head and install in direction of flow (Chapter 4).

8.3 Leak

Cause:	Screwed connections not fitted correctly.
Troubleshooting:	Check mains pressure. Check all screwed connections and mount according to Chapter 4. If the fault persists, replace filter system.
