Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
A high-end gastropub in Harrogate was struggling with persistent water marks on their wine glasses and a recurring fault with their pass-through dishwasher's heating element, leading to costly call-outs. They upgraded their water treatment by installing the BRITA Purity Clean Extra 1200 system.
"We were spending hours polishing glasses before service, and the dishwasher breakdowns were a nightmare. Since we started using the BRITA filter system, the glasses come out perfect. It’s saved us a fortune in both labour and repair bills. The difference is night and day."
Robert Evans – General Manager
The pub completely eliminated glassware polishing, saving an estimated 7 hours of staff labour per week and preventing any further limescale-related repair costs in the following six months.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Ensure the water supply to the main filter head is turned off before attempting to change the cartridge.
- Release any pressure in the system using the bleed valves on the filter head.
- Simply twist the old cartridge to unlock it, remove it, and slot the new one into place with a firm twist to lock.
- Briefly flush the new cartridge according to the system's instructions before reconnecting the dishwasher.
Keeping It Going
- Keep an eye on the digital meter on your Purity system; it will tell you when a replacement is due.
- Order your next cartridge in advance to avoid any period of using unfiltered water, which could harm your machine.
- Never allow the cartridge to freeze, as this can damage the internal filter medium.
- Take advantage of BRITA's free recycling programme to dispose of your used cartridges responsibly.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is this a complete water filter kit or just the refill?
A: This product, SKU CU298, is only the replacement cartridge. It requires the main BRITA Purity Clean Extra 1200 filter head system (sold separately as SKU CU297) to be installed first.
Q: How will I know when it's time to change the cartridge?
A: The Purity Clean Extra 1200 system typically includes a digital meter that tracks water usage and will alert you when the cartridge's capacity is nearly exhausted.
Q: Can I use this for my coffee machine or other appliances?
A: This Purity Clean Extra model is specifically formulated for hot water applications like dishwashers to prevent scale and ensure perfect cleaning results. BRITA offers other cartridge types (like Purity C) optimised for coffee machines.
Q: What is the main benefit of this over a standard water softener?
A: The Purity Clean Extra uses selective ion exchange to partially demineralise the water, which is ideal for washing. It removes the scale-forming minerals without leaving the water too aggressive, which can damage glassware over time.
Q: Is it difficult to install the replacement filter?
A: Not at all. It's designed for quick changes in a commercial environment. After shutting off the water, it's a simple twist-off, twist-on process that takes just a couple of minutes.
Q: What does 'eliminates hand-polishing' really mean?
A: It means the filtered water leaves no mineral deposits (water spots or streaks) on your glassware and cutlery as they dry, so they come out of the dishwasher sparkling clean and ready for the table.
Q: What's the maximum operating temperature?
A: This cartridge is designed to work effectively with water up to 60°C, making it perfect for connecting to the hot water feed of your commercial dishwasher.
Q: How do I recycle my old cartridge?
A: BRITA operates its own recycling programme. You can typically arrange to have used professional cartridges collected, and they will be returned to their facility to be processed responsibly.

Explore more from BritaHow Targeted Water Filtration Delivers a Flawless Finish
Ever wondered why, even after a powerful hot wash, your glasses can come out looking cloudy? The culprit is usually invisible minerals in your tap water, like calcium and magnesium carbonate, which we know as limescale. When heated in a dishwasher, these minerals bake onto surfaces, leaving a dull film on glasses and building up inside your machine's pipes and on its heating element.
Think of the BRITA Purity Clean Extra 1200 replacement cartridge as a highly specialised gatekeeper. As water flows through it, a process called ion exchange specifically targets and captures these 'hard' minerals, effectively swapping them out. It’s like having a microscopic sorting office for your water supply, letting the pure H?O pass through while holding back the troublemakers that cause spots and scale. This means only softened, purified water ever reaches your tableware and your machine’s delicate components, guaranteeing a perfect finish and long-term protection.
Who Should Buy This?
- Busy Restaurants & Bistros: To guarantee every plate, glass, and piece of cutlery meets the highest standards of presentation without manual polishing.
- Hotels & Guest Houses: For delivering a premium guest experience with consistently sparkling glassware and crockery in rooms and dining areas.
- Pubs & Bars: To keep high-turnover glasswashers running efficiently and producing crystal-clear pint glasses and cocktail coupes, even in hard water areas.
- Large-Scale & Event Caterers: Essential for protecting mobile or permanent dishwashing stations and ensuring flawless results for hundreds of covers.
