Brita Purity C Filter Head

What does the bypass valve do?

The bypass valve on a Brita Purity head controls filtration percentage. In other words how much of the water is actually filtered. On a standard 30% bypass for instance 700ml of every 1 litre is filtered. The remaining 300ml is not. It bypasses the filter system. This is considered as an acceptable standard level of filtration. Consequently most commercial coffee machine owners use this head.

How does the easy flush valve help set up water filters?

The Brita Purity head contain an easy flush valve. By pressing the button the water exits the filter from the grey pipe.

The pipe is concealed inside the head and pulls out. Aimed a bucket the water should be run through the flush valve until it runs clear.

This enable the sediment present from manufacturer to be extracted. Once the sediment has gone it is safe to use the Brita for coffee machine filtration.
