BRITA PURITY C50 Quell ST Filter Cartridge

No. This item is the filter cartridge itself and is supplied without a filter head. You also need a matching filter head, such as the Brita Purity C filter head 1013637 for Purity Quell ST.

This mix up happens regularly: we have had returns from customers who expected a filter head but received the cartridge. If you already use a Purity C filter head, you only need this cartridge.

Brita states a service life of about 1 year or 960 litres for this filter cartridge. Whichever of the two you reach first is the moment to replace the cartridge.

The exact capacity depends on the hardness of your tap water and on the bypass setting on the filter head. If in doubt, consult the instructions for use that you can download on this product page.

This filter cartridge was developed for the hospitality trade and is used for espresso machines and bean to cup coffee machines, as well as for catering equipment such as steam and baking ovens and for vending machines.

The cartridge is fitted into the water line ahead of the appliance, always in combination with a matching Purity C filter head. Check the manual of your machine to see which filter system the manufacturer specifies.

This filter cartridge lowers the carbonate hardness of tap water and so prevents limescale build-up in the machine behind it. That is the main reason to use it.

It also filters out heavy metals such as lead and copper, turbidity, organic impurities and substances that affect smell and taste such as chlorine. The Purity Quell ST filters have been tested and checked by independent institutes.

Yes. The cartridge can be installed both horizontally and vertically, which is handy if you have little space under or next to the machine.

Because the water inlet and outlet are on one side of the filter head, the set-up is even more space-saving. Changing the cartridge is done with the quick-change system, and the IntelliBypass provides bypass water that is independent of the flow rate.
