Question 1

Hello, i have a fr77548 (metal cased, screw top filter) franke triflow . what standard filter would replace. will it take limescale reducer?

Accepted Answer

Thank you for your enquiry.  The Genuine Franke 02 filter is the correct filter for your system.  
If you have a particular issue with limescale, the Genuine Franke 05 filter removes the limescale.  If you choose this filter please ensure the flow of water through the filter is running at 30 seconds per litre.

Question 2

How often should these filters be changed, please?

Accepted Answer

It depends how much you are using - if a family usage I would say every 6 months, if a couple / single usage I would say once 12 months - Franke will try to get you to change more often but you will start to tell when it needs it as taste alters a little

Question 3

Will this fit a steel cartridge holder?

Accepted Answer

We had an original plastic filter holder that after about 10 yrs or more just exploded and started to flood the kitchen.  Thankfully we were at home and were able to stop the water to the 'pure' tap.I was able to ring The genuine Franke People and Todd was just marvellous. He told us we needed a steel cartridge and one of the genuine filters.  When it arrived he talked us through the installation and it has been perfect since.We do spend periods away from the house so we now turn the water system to it off but we have no problems at all with the cartridge in the steel holder and cannot speak more highly of the firm Dr Ann ( have to say we are NOT related!!)

Question 4

Hi,can this filter be used as an alternative to the 07 filter?

Accepted Answer

No it cannot. The ceramic outer section of the Franke 02 will restrict the flow of water too much and potentially result in the Minerva boiler being starved of water. Starving the boiler of water could cause it to trip out or fail completely.
