Brita C500 Min Up suitable for soft water

The BRITA PURITY C500 MinUp is a specially developed filtration system for regions with very soft water (calcium hardness ≤ 3 °dH). In such areas, the low mineral content of the water can affect the extraction of flavors when brewing coffee and lead to an unbalanced taste. The C500 MinUp specifically enriches the water with Calcium carbonate to increase the carbonate hardness to an optimal level for coffee preparation.

Main features of the BRITA PURITY C500 MinUp:

• Targeted mineralization: Increases the carbonate hardness of the incoming water to ensure better aroma development and a balanced taste of the coffee.

• Activated carbon filtration: Reduces taste and odor disturbing substances such as chlorine, further improving water quality.

• Consistent performance: Ensures consistent mineralization and water quality throughout the entire lifespan of the filter.

• Increase of Total Dissolved Solids (TDS): Supports the flawless operation of water level sensors in coffee machines by increasing the TDS value.

Technical Specifications:

• Capacity: Up to 30,000 liters of filtered water, depending on the quality of the incoming water and the specific operating conditions.

• Operating pressure: 2 bar up to a maximum of 8.6 bar.

• Water temperature: Inlet water temperature between 4 °C and 30 °C.

• Nominal flow rate: 20 liters per hour.

• Dimensions (W x D x H): 144 mm x 144 mm x 557 mm.

• Weight (dry/wet): 7.6 kg / 10.1 kg.

• Installation position: Only vertical installation possible.

Filtration stages:

1. Pre-filtration: A pre-filter retains coarse particles.

2. Mineralization: Targeted release of calcium carbonate to increase carbonate hardness.

3. Activated carbon filtration: Removal of taste and odor disturbing substances such as chlorine.

4. Fine filtration: A fleece retains fine particles.

Areas of application:

The PURITY C500 MinUp is ideal for use in Coffee Machines and Espresso machines in regions with very soft water. The targeted mineralization improves the extraction of coffee aromas, resulting in a fuller taste and a balanced aroma.

Important Notes:

• Field of application: The filter is exclusively designed for very soft water with a carbonate hardness of ≤ 3 °dH. With higher water hardness, there may be over-mineralization and associated limescale deposits in the connected devices.

• Filter head: A compatible BRITA PURITY C filter head is required for operation.

• Maintenance: The filter should be changed regularly according to the manufacturer's specifications and depending on usage, in order to ensure consistently high water quality.
