General instructions
The delivery includes the selected filter cartridge. The cartridge is already pre-installed in the filter housing. All installation work should be
carried out and checked by experts. riva is not liable for faulty installation.
Make sure that the water in and outlet are installed correctly. The arrow on the body and cartridge indicates the direction of flow which
must be observed.
In the event of improper installation, no liability is assumed for any damage arising. Protect from frost. The filter cartridge should be chan-
ged after 6 months (DIN 1988). However, an earlier change may be necessary if the water flow is noticeably/ visibly reduced. A previously
necessary change is not a defect in the cartridge used, but an indication of an increased occurrence of fine particles in the unfiltered water.
For use in conjunction with a hot water boiler or instantaneous water heater, please contact your system specialist. When installed under the
sink, the filter must be professionally connected directly to the angle valve of the cold water pipe. In exceptional cases, condensation water
may form in the filter housing of very cold water in the supply line for physical reasons. An installation always requires the installation of a
certified check valve / inlet stop or a water stop system, e.g. Aquastop.
