Franke 05

The Franke 05 combines granular activated carbon with a de-alk resin to tackle chemicals such as chlorine and heavy metals e.g. lead and it works to reduce the residues of limescale.

On average it will be necessary to change the Franke 05 cartridge every 3 - 6 months.  However, the life of the Franke 05 cartridge is dependent on the water hardness and the amount used, consequently the change cycle for this cartridge will only be determined from experience.

You should have no need for concern - especially if you have recently changed your filter cartridge.  The black specks are tiny, harmless particles of carbon that are residues from the manufacturing process.  Flush them through by allowing your tap's filtered flow of water to run for a few minutes until they disappear.

Changing your Franke 05 cartridge is a simple, swift procedure.  Simply click 'Download Installation Guide' for more details.

You can dispose of old cartridges in your normal household waste.  Alternatively, we welcome the return of spent cartridges so that we can recycle them responsibly.  Please allow used cartridges to dry naturally before returning them to us in your new cartridge's packaging.
