CITO DUO Special
Description
Basics
- The CITO-QC is the further development of the confirmed VARIO-HP filter housing.
- The outstanding filtration results have been proven by many scientific assessments.
- Filter replacement even simpler: Thanks to the QuickConnect (QC) bayonet coupling the filter-socket can be easily dismounted as a whole.
- The head of the filter-assembly itself remains permanently attached to the wall, no hoses have to be touched.
- The filer-socket can be opened and the filter cartridge can be replaced conveniently in the sink using the enclosed keys.
- The filtration system can be connected easily to the water supply in any standard kitchen and is hidden elegantly under the counter.
- Double effect: Clever combination of two different cartridge types.
- With the serial setup, the same water flows through both filter cartridges.
- In a first step, the clouding particles are removed by the textile VFS prefilter (1 µm) cartridge.
- In a second step, occurs the pollution filtration inside the GFP Premium-9 filter cartridge.
- The recommended replacement interval (6 months) of the activated carbon cartridge can be better utilized.
- No premature filter clogging and more efficient filter performance.
- Recommended for old water pipes and high particle content and clouding exposure .
- Set is conceived for the separate water withdrawal via a separate sink tap or a three-way sink tap.
Compatible filter cartridges
- Will be delivered with two different filter cartridges:
- Cartridge 1: VFS prefilter:
- mechanical removal of particles and clouding
- filter mesh: 1 µm
- Cartridge 2: GFP Premium-9:
- pure activated carbon filter cartridge
- filter mesh: 0.40 µm; flow rate: 2 l/min (at 4 bar)
- very high retention rates for heavy metals, pesticides, drug contaminations and chlorine
- provides the highest protection against bacteria (see assessments)
- Compatible to all 9 3/4" filter cartridges.
- For hygienic reasons, we recommend replacement of the cartridges every 6 months (according to DIN 1988).
- Do not miss any cartridge replacement, apply for our non-binding and free of charge filter subscription service.
Installation
Installation
- The filter unit can be installed at any standard water connection in the kitchen or in the bathroom.
- The unit is to be permanently installed to the wall.
- Dimensions without hoses (W x H x D): 31.5 x 38.5 x 14.5 cm3. With hoses 41 cm wide. CAUTION: Filter cartridge replacement requires a free space of 5 cm below the installed unit.
- The assembly is delivered with an angle T-valve (3/8") and it is thus designed for separate water withdrawal.
- TIP: When installing the ball valve directly at the angle valve tee, the filter unit plus hoses is only 37.5 cm wide.
- Hoses and 3/8-inch fittings are enclosed in the set. As required, these can be extended.
- Only to be used with cold water and must be protected against freezing.
