Brita 1200 - Manual (Page 8)

4.3 Assembly of inlet and outlet hoses
Note: The inlet and outlet hoses are not included in the standard scope of delivery. The
use of BRITA hose sets is recommended (Chapter 11).
Fit inlet hose 5 at the inlet of the connector head 4 and outlet hose 7 at the outlet
of the connector head 4 .
Note: Inlet “IN” and outlet “OUT” of the connector head 4 are equipped with
O-rings as seals, therefore no additional fl at seals may be used here. Make sure that
the O-rings are seated correctly.
! Caution: The max. tightening torque at the 1“ and 3/4“ connections must not exceed
15Nm! Only hose connections with fl at seals may be used. Hoses with conical screw
connections damage the connections of the fi lter head and invalidate any guarantee
claims! Before assembly, note the direction of fl ow on the upper side of the fi lter head,
IN = water inlet, OUT = water outlet. Prior to installation, note installation dimensions
and operating position (Chapter 10). If no original hoses are used, the 1“- 3/4“
15 reducer
supplied must be used to ensure correct sealing of the return valve.
5 Commissioning a New Filter
5.1 Setting the Bypass
The bypass setting screw 13 has been set to 0% at the factory and, if necessary, can
be increased to 10% according to the local water quality or application in question.
If you have any questions about water quality, your supplier or your contact at BRITA
will advise you.
Note: Use Allen key 6mm or 7/32“ to adjust the bypass setting screw
13 .
5.2 Identifying the Filter Capacity
Identify the local carbonate hardness or total hardness using the enclosed carbonate
hardness or total hardness test kit.
Identify the fi lter capacity using the capacity tables (Chapter 7) taking account of the
carbonate or total hardness identifi ed and the bypass setting (Chapter 5.1).
