Your BRITA Tap, is the key to cleaner, clearer
great tasting filtered water
Next to hot and cold unfiltered water,
your BRITA system offers many advantages
• You will have great tasting water at your fingertips
• It is economical, convenient and easy to use
• It is ideal for cooking healthy food
e.g. rice is fluffy, naturally white and smells fantastic
your pasta will smell and taste fantastic when cooked with the
best natural ingredients and that includes filtered water
leaves your vegetables bursting with colour and flavour
The BRITA Tap has two levers. One for BRITA filtered water and
the other for your regular unfiltered hot/cold water.
The A 1000 filter 0.5 micron carbon block filter
cartridge significantly reduces:
• Chlorine, unpleasant tastes and odours
• Small particles (such as rust, dust and sand)
• Organic impurities
Lifetime of the A 1000 filter cartridge
A 1000 filter cartridge life depends on local water quality.
For optimum performance and hygiene, it is recommended that
the filter cartridge be replaced at least six-monthly.
Your digital BRITA cartridge exchange indicator displays the
remaining number of days until the filter cartridge is to be replaced
and alerts you with an audible alarm after 180 days to change
the cartridge. You should check the digital display periodically. For
more information, see chapter 3.2.

3Installation of the BRITA Tap System
!
Installation of the filter system must comply with the relevant
state or local plumbing regulations and standards (AS/NZS
3500). Depending on the necessary method of connection to
the cold water supply, additional valves/adaptors/components
may be required, and the services of a licensed plumber may
be necessary. If you do not have an available connection to the
cold water supply and it is necessary to cut into the cold water
supply line, a licensed plumber is required.
Before starting, please check that you have all the components as
listed above (see fig. 1) as well as the recommended tools.
There are 7 steps to the installation.
!
Prior to installation, read the Technical Data (chapter 8) and
the Important Information (chapter 9). (After storage and
transport below 0°C, the product must be stored in the open
original packaging for at least 24 hours at the stated ambient

!Ensure the connections are screwed tight, but avoid over-
tightening.
Then place the base (3) over the hole and fix the BRITA Tap (1) in
position using the supplied counter plate (4), the washer (5), the
locking ring (6) and the hexagon nut (7).
3.4 Step 4: Attaching the hoses
!
The supplied hose for connection to the cold water supply
requires the availability of an already installed ½" isolation
or angle valve). Before installation, please ensure you have
such a free ½" isolation or angle valve and that it is work-
ing properly (closeable to 100%). If not, please contact
a licensed plumber. In accordance with regulations, the
stopcock) which is included in your kit must be installed at
the point of connection to the water supply before the filter
system intake hose. Behind the stopcock or isolation valve
a pressure limited valve must always be installed to ensure
the right function of the cartridge. Plumbing tape should
be used on all threads in this sub-assembly and tested to
ensure there are no leaks.
We recommend that you first arrange all parts you need in front of
you.
Recommended tools for installation: one Allen key and an adjust-
able spanner.
Recommended for installation of the wall mount bracket: two
screws (e.g. 5 mm in size suited to the mounting surface) and two
wall plugs (if necessary).
Please follow the diagram below (see fig. 7) and perform the steps
in the right order.
AConnect supplied T-piece on your cold water supply
a) Insert one 1/2" washer into the female nut of the supplied
T-piece.
b) Connect this end of the t-piece to your cold water supply.
!If you do have an additional free 1/2" cold water supply for
the BRITA Tap in your kitchen, you do not need to install the
supplied T-piece.
BConnect the hose with the blue stripe to one side of the T-piece
or free ½” cold water supply using washer supplied.
CTake the hose with two 1/2" connectors. Insert the 1/2" washers
into the respective female threads of the two hose ends. Con-
nect one end with the free side of the T-Piece.
DNow connect the other end to the filter head inlet. This is labelled
“IN” and marked with an arrow. Make sure that the washers are
seated correctly!
EConnect the 800 mm hose to the “OUT” (connection point on
filter head) which labelled with an out arrow.
FConnect the hose with the red stripe with your hot water supply
GMake sure all connections are tightened properly. Avoid over
tightening.

3.6 Step 6: Install filter-head wall-mount bracket
(see fig. 10)
!
During assembly, note the installation dimensions, bending
radii of the hoses and dimensions of the accessories. The
system can be operated with the filter cartridge in either
vertical or horizontal positions. Using the mounting bracket,
it should be installed only vertically, with the “UP” arrow on
the bracket correctly positioned.
AAttach the space-saving wall mount bracket (1) in place using two
matching screws and use two wall plugs (not supplied), depend-
ing on the type of wall. Position it in an accessible place to allow
for 90° pivoting of the head for easy exchange of the filter.
BEngage the filter head (2) in the wall mount (1) using the notches
(4) on the sides of the filter head to connect to the arms of the
bracket.

valve or by closing the locking handle (3) on the
filter head (2).
BNo or low water flow in spite of open water intake
Cause: Mains pressure too low.
Troubleshooting: Check mains pressure. If the fault continues,
check the filter system and filter cartridge and
replace if necessary.
Cause: Filter head not mounted in direction of water
flow.
Troubleshooting: Dismantle filter head and install in direction of
water flow (chapter 3.4).
CLeak
Cause: Screwed connections not fitted correctly.
Troubleshooting: Check mains pressure. Check all screwed
connections in accordance with chapter 3.4.
DIncorrect display or incorrect settings on the electronic
cartridge exchange indicator with display
Cause: Buttons pressed in wrong order or wrong
buttons pressed.
Troubleshooting: Press and hold the RESET button for 8 seconds.
For models WD 3030 and WD 3040 only
These models have an aerator with two integrated outlets. The
Inner one is for BRITA filtered water, the outer area for hot and cold
water. As with every tap aerator, there can be lime scale build up
in the outer area. Therefore it is recommended to clean the aerator
on a regular basis. For cleaning: Unscrew the cap on the end of the
dispenser’s neck. The aerator is connected to a silicon hose. Detach
it carefully and clean the aerator (e.g. with vinegar). After cleaning
connect the long, thin part on the back of the aerator carefully with
the silicon hose. Place the cap over the aerator and screw it tight.
Make sure that the washer in the cap is seated correctly. When
installed correctly there should not be any leaks whilst running hot,
cold or BRITA filtered water.
If you want to replace the aerator with a new one, you can order
it from BRITA. You can find the contact details for your BRITA
customer service team next to your country code on the back of this
booklet.

9Operation and Safety
Protect the BRITA Tap from direct sunlight and mechanical
damage.
Do not assemble near sources of heat and open flames. A stop
valve must be installed before the filter system intake hose. If the
water pressure is greater than 0.86 MPa, a pressure reducer must
be installed in front of the filter system. The BRITA Tap is only suit-
able for domestic use. Only water of drinking water quality may be
used as intake water for the BRITA water filter system.
The BRITA Tap is only suitable for cold water use within the sup-
ply water temperature stated in chapter 8. No microbiologically
impaired water or water of unknown quality may be used without
appropriate disinfection.
The system cannot be installed with a low pressure boiler.
In the event of official water alert:
filter first, and then boil
If there are official instructions to boil tap water, the filter system
must be decommissioned. When the requirement to boil water
comes to an end, the filter cartridge must be replaced and the con-
nections cleaned.
Ultimate hygiene
• For hygiene reasons, the filter material of the cartridge is sub-
jected to a special bacteriostatic treatment with silver. A minute
quantity of silver, harmless to health, may be released into the
water, within the guidelines of the World Health Organisation (WHO)
for drinking water.
• It is generally recommended to boil tap water for certain groups
of people (e.g. people with weak immune systems, babies). For
such groups, this would also apply to filtered water.
Optimum use
• BRITA recommends that the filter system not be decommis-
sioned for a long period. If the BRITA Tap with A 1000 filter is
not used for several days (2–3 days), we recommend that the
filter system be flushed by running the volume X indicated in
the table below. After stagnation periods of over 4 weeks, the
filter should be flushed by running the volume Y or otherwise
consider replacing the cartridge if it is near the end of its recom-
mended life. Please also note the maximum usage period of the
filter cartridge is 6 months.
Flushing volume X after 2–3 days stagnation Flushing volume
A 1000 1 Litre
Flushing volume Y after 4 weeks stagnation Flushing volume
A 1000 10 Litres
• BRITA filtered water is designed for human consumption. Use it
within 1–2 days.
• The filter system must not be opened or dismantled during
operation. The filter cartridge must not be opened.
• The filter system filter head is designed for a service life of
10 years counted from the date of installation.
Natural traces
As the filter cartridge contains carbon, derived from natural
charcoal, as with such natural matter, there may be variations and
this can lead to a slight abrasion of small carbon particles into your
filtered water, noticeable as black dust. These particles have no
negative health effects. If ingested, they will not harm the human
body. If you should see any carbon particles in the filtered water,
BRITA recommends flushing out the A 1000 filter cartridge by run-
ning the filter tap until the particle deposits are washed out.
