Application
The GROHE Blue® filter cartridge reduces carbonate
hardness and filters out heavy metals such as lead and
copper. Moreover, clouding and organic contamination, as
well as substances which impair odour and taste, such as
chlorine residues, are reduced. Furthermore, the filter material
captures particles such as sand and suspended solids up to
a size of 10 µm.

Safety notes

• The filter system may only be operated with cold water of
foodstuff grade.
• The filter system must be flushed each time the filter is
changed.
• At the installation location, the filter system must be
protected against mechanical damage, heat and direct
sunlight.
Do not install near heat sources or an open fire.
• Following storage and transport at temperatures below 0 °C,
a replacement filter cartridge must be stored in its opened
original packaging at ambient temperatures of 4 – 40 °C for
at least 24 hours before use.
• The maximum shelf life of a replacement filter cartridge in its
unopened packaging is 5 years.
• The filter system must be put out of service if an official boil-
water notice is issued, e.g. by the water supplier. The filter
cartridge must be changed once the boil-water notice is
lifted.
• The filter material in the filter cartridge is specially treated
with silver. It is possible that a small amount of silver, which
is completely safe, may be released into the water.
The amount is in keeping with the recommendations of
the World Health Organisation (WHO) for drinking water.
• It is generally recommended to boil tap water for certain
groups of people (e.g. immuno-compromised people,
babies). This also applies to filtered water.
• Filtered water is a foodstuff and must be used within 1
to 2 days.
• GROHE recommends not leaving the filter system out of
service for extended periods of time.
Following periods of non-use, the GROHE Blue
system must be flushed in accordance with the following
table prior to re-use:
Filter 2 - 3 days
40 404 min. 2 litres
40 430 min. 3 litres
40 412 min. 6 litres
Following longer periods of non-use, the filter cartridge must
be changed.

Changing the filter cartridge

1. Open the locking handle (A), see fold-out page II, Fig. [1].
Note: Unfiltered water can still be drawn from the fitting
while the filter cartridge is being changed.
2. Press the flush button (B) in order to depressurise the filter
cartridge (C).
3. Pull the used filter cartridge (C) out of the filter head (D)
downwards.
Note: The filter cartridge (C) can be swivelled forwards by
up to 90° in the wall holder (E) to make it easier to remove.
4. Remove the protective cover (F) and insert the new filter
cartridge (G) vertically into the filter head (D), see Fig. [2].
Ensure that the seals (H) are correctly seated before inserting.
The filter cartridge (G) can only be inserted into the filter
head (D) in one position.
5. Turn the locking handle (A) until the filter cartridge (G) is felt
to lock in place.
Flushing the filter cartridge
1. Place a collecting vessel under the filter to collect the water
flowing out of the hose (J), see Fig. [3].
2. Open handle (K).
3. Press the flush button (B) on the filter head (D) in order to
flush the filter system.
4. Continue flushing until the water emerging from the hose (J)
is clear and free of bubbles (40 404: min. 2 litres / 40 430:
min. 3 litres / 40 412: min. 6 litres).
Setting the filter size, see technical product information for
the fitting.

The GROHE Blue system is set for operation with
the 600 litre filter cartridge (40 404) at the factory. When using
a different filter cartridge, the GROHE Blue
set to the relevant value.
Setting the carbonate hardness, see technical product
information for the fitting.
The relevant water supplier can provide information on the
carbonate hardness.
®
The GROHE Blue system is set to the standard value for
carbonate hardness [C3 (bypass 40%) at the factory:
carbonate hardness 14 - 17°KH]. The carbonate hardness
must be adjusted in the case of deviations.
Resetting the filter capacity, see technical product
information for the fitting.
The GROHE Blue ® system must be reset after the filter has
been changed.
In the event of problems with the settings, please consult
a specialist installer or the GROHE Service Hotline via
email under TechnicalSupport-HQ@grohe.com.
