Filter Requirements
The Keurig B150 brewer system, when used with Direct Plumb accessory,
requires the use of a water filtration system to optimize the coffee flavor and
brewer reliability. Two mounting holes with screws have been provided on the
back of the brewer for this purpose.
Keurig requires the use of an external water filter such as the Omnipure
KQ8A to maintain warranty.
A filter kit (part number 5025) is available from Keurig. This kit contains a
Omnipure KQ8A filter, filter head, and mounting bracket.
NOTE: The KQ8A Filter assembly comes with 1/4 FPT ports for both inlet and
outlet and the plumbed water inlet to the brewer is 3/4 Male Garden Hose Thread
1/4 OD LLDPE (Linear Low Density Polyethylene) tubing is recommended (NSF
compliant) between the filter assembly and the brewer. NSF compliant fittings are
recommended such as High Density Polypropylene Type.
NOTE: NO PLUMBING CONNECTORS ARE PROVIDED WITH THIS
KIT.
All KQ8A filter cartridges must have a minimum of four gallons of water
run through it after mounting to the brewer and before they are connected to
the brewer’s Inlet Valve at the install location. This procedure will prevent
fine particles of carbon from entering and clogging the water inlet valve.
Filter Installation
1. Attach a ¾” female garden hose connection to ¼” FPT fitting to the Inlet
Valve
2. Mount the filter assembly to the brewer using the screws provided on the back
of the brewer and connect the filter’s Inlet Port to the water supply.
3. Flush the filter BEFORE connecting to the Inlet Valve.
4. Plug brewer into a dedicated GFCI outlet. If the electric circuit is overloaded
with other appliances, the circuit breaker may trip. If possible, the brewer
should be operating on its own circuit, separate from other appliances. Never
use an extension cord.
CAUTION: This brewer is designed to handle local water pressures from 40 psig up
to 125 psig. Consult a licensed plumber for water pressures in your area. Use
plumbing fittings and tubing specified to withstand 125 psig.
IMPORTANT NOTICE
NOTE: FAILURE TO USE A WATER FILTER OR FAILURE TO
USE A WATER FILTER IN THE PRESCRIBED MANNER WILL
INVALIDATE THE BREWER WARRANTY.
