1. Congratulations
Thank you for choosing BRITA quality for great tasting
BRITA filtered water. BRITA filtered water improves taste
of hot and cold drinks and is economical and convenient.
To ensure you achieve the best results, please read the
following instructions carefully before fitting the BRITA On
Tap water filter system to your tap.
2. Important notes
2.1 Ideal use
• Do not use any tools when installing the
BRITA On Tap water filter.
• Do not disconnect the BRITA On Tap
water filter system while running water
through the filter.
• Clean the outside of the BRITA On Tap water filter
system with a damp sponge and mild washing-up liquid.
Abrasive cleaners, detergents or chrome polish may
mark the finish.
• Do not put the BRITA On Tap water filter system or any
of its parts in the dishwasher.
• Should the BRITA On Tap water filter system require
repairs or servicing, do not attempt to disassemble the
unit. Please contact the BRITA Customer Service in your
country.
• For all notes on installation, operation and servicing,
please see the following sections of the instructions
for use.
2.2 Optimum performance
• The OnTap filter is designed for the use with cold tap
water. Please filter cold tap water only.
2.3 Filter first, and then boil
• The BRITA On Tap water filter system is designed to
be used only with municipally treated tap water. If an
instruction is received from the authorities that mains
water must be boiled, then BRITA filtered water must
also be boiled. When the instruction to boil water is no
longer in force, please clean the BRITA On Tap water
filter system thoroughly and insert a new cartridge.
• For certain groups of people (e.g. those with impaired
immunity and babies), it is generally recommended that
tap water should be boiled; this also applies to filtered
water.
2.4 Exclusion of liability
• BRITA cannot accept any liability if one does not follow
the given instructions of use.
3. Conditions for use
3.1 When does the BRITA OnTap filter not work?
The BRITA On Tap filter is not intended to be connected
to a low-pressure water heater; it is an external contact
system and its internal receptacle will not support the
pressure of the supply pipe.
The following characteristics will help you determine
whether your equipment is a low-pressure water heater:
!A low-pressure water heater is
usually installed immediately next
to the sink or underneath it.
!Low-pressure taps are fitted with 3
connections (open system).

Green light: The BRITA On Tap water filter is working.
Yellow light: 90% of the filter capacity has been used.
Remember to buy a new replacement
filter cartridge.
Red light: The filter cartridge needs to be changed.
BRITA recommends that you change the filter cartridge
after 1200 litres of water has been filtered. Irrespective of
the filtered volume, the cartridge should be changed after 4
months of use. The red light comes on if the water quantity
or time period has been exceeded.
When the red light in the top cap starts to blink during
filtering the cartridge should be changed. Proceed as

Step 1:
The filter cartridge is attached to the base of the housing
(B). Screw the exhausted filter cartridge (I) to the left.
Unscrew it and pull it downwards and out of the housing.
The housing may still contain water, which will now leak
out. The exhausted filter cartridge can be disposed of with
normal domestic waste.

The symbols on the diverter are designed to assist you in
selecting the required position:
Filtered water Unfiltered water
To prevent damage to the diverter, choose the required
position before turning on the tap.
Step 2:
If the BRITA On Tap water filter is new, the filter cartridge
may still contain materials residue. This is harmless to
health and does not influence the performance of your
water filter. Run water through the filter for approximately
1 minute before using the water.
Please repeat this process with every new filter cartridge.
The water may briefly become darker in colour until fine
particles are eliminated. You may use this water for your
plants or discard it.
!If the BRITA On Tap water filter system has not been
used for more than 24 hours, allow water to pass for
30 to 60 seconds before using the filtered water
6. Changing the filter cartridge
To ensure optimal performance, one should change the
filter cartridge on a regular basis. The electronic cartridge
change indicator (G) in the top cap (H) tells one when to
change the filter cartridge.

!If you have any difficulties unscrewing the cartridge,
please do not use any tools. Use a towel to give you
a firm grip as you unscrew the cartridge this will
prevent your hand from slipping.
Step 2:
Guide the new filter cartridge from below, into the housing
and screw it tight (clockwise). Hand tighten only.
!When inserting the new cartridge, make sure that
the round, black O-ring seal (J) fits evenly inside the

7. Changing the battery
The battery should be changed after approximately a year.
One can tell when the battery is exhausted when one sees
the lights on the top cap do not blink during the filtration
process. When the light no longer blink, the battery needs
to be changed. When this occurs, use the filter cartridge as
usual for the remaining part of the three months and then
insert a new battery.
To replace the battery, proceed as described in section
4. “Installattion/Step 3.” Instead of inserting the supplied
battery as described above, you now have to replace
the battery. Always use a type CR 2032 battery. Please
dispose of the old battery in accordance with the
applicable law and regulations.
8. Removing the housing
The BRITA On Tap water filter system is supplied
preassembled. It is not necessary to unscrew the diverter
(A) and the housing (B) to operate the water filter (see
Fig.2A). If you do wish to unscrew these parts (e.g. for
cleaning purposes), please do so properly without force,
following the instructions below. Please ensure that the
housing is always cleaned without the filter cartridge
inserted.
Step 1:
Detach the OnTap housing (see Fig.9) by first rotating it by
¼ turn towards you until the top cap is facing you and the
BRITA logo is facing down. Secondly, pull it carefully to the
left and out. Discard any water left inside the unit.

facing down. Secondly, rotate the housing ¼ turn away
from you and upwards. To re-use the filter cartridge, allow
the water to run through for 1 to 2 minutes.
