Trademark Use Guidelines (TUG)
Before first use, the installer will need to remove the bright orange TUG
label over filter head (see right), thereby accepting the guidelines.
oThe TUG label reads as follows: Removal of this label signifies
you or an appropriate owner’s agent will comply with all BRITA®
Trademark Usage Guidelines as well as maintain the unit to the
standards as first installed. Detailed information noting
requirements can be found within the unit as well as in the
Owner’s Manual on Page 2.
The complete Trademark Usage Guidelines are located in 2 places for
reference by owner/maintenance personnel.
oWithin the Brita®Hydration Station®unit.

Maintenance Label
When installation of the Brita®Hydration Station®is complete, obtain a phone number for the
sales representative that sold you the unit. Write this number into the maintenance label
located in the lower right-hand corner of the front of the unit (see below) and use for maintenance
and troubleshooting questions.
If any issues or questions arise that cannot be addressed by this Owner’s Manual, refer to this
label, which also contains the Haws®[phone] customer service phone number and a
serial number for tracking.
General Operation
Approach the Brita®Hydration Station®with a bottle (or other multi-use water
container). Note the start/stop activation label (seen to right) at the center of
the unit – in & up to activate; down & out to deactivate.
Place the bottle in the opening and move upward to the sensor (see below).
When the sensor detects the bottle, a blue light will activate to help position
the bottle under the nozzle. After a slight delay, water will dispense.
When the bottle is filled, lower it from the sensor to stop the water flow.
oThere is a 30 second shut-off feature to prevent needless dispensing.

3/14 Model 2000S Page 4 of 8
General Operation (continued)
As water dispenses, the
LED light to the far right of
the sensor (see right) will
flash green several times,
indicating that the filter is
working properly. This
same LED will change to a
blinking yellow when filter
life reaches 10% remaining
(filter change
recommended).
When the filter has
reached end of life, the
indicator LED will flash red
and the unit will not
dispense water until the
filter is replaced.
Auto Purge & Periods of Inactivity
The Brita®Hydration Station®is designed to purge itself after every 24 hours of non-use. This
effectively removes the standing water from the system and introduces new water in an effort to
prevent the growth of bacteria.
If there is an atypically lengthy period of time during which the Brita® Hydration Station®is not in
use, it is advisable that the filter cartridge be replaced when the system comes back on line.
Water Quality
The Brita®Hydration Station®is not intended to purify water. Do not use this system with water
that is microbiologically unsafe or of unknown quality without adequate disinfection before or after
the system. Individuals requiring water of special microbiological purity should follow the advice
of their doctor or local health officials regarding the use and consumption of their tap water.

Maintenance
Filter Replacement
For filter replacements, please contact Haws customer service at 1-888-909-4297, or visit
www.BritaHydrationStation.com. It is recommended that at least one filter replacement is on hand
for immediate replacement purposes.
Maintenance personnel can determine filter life as outlined on page 4. The filter should be
changed if the filter LED begins to blink yellow or red, if 1 year has elapsed since the filter was
installed, or if the water output begins to decrease.
To open the unit, slide the supplied hex key (or a long, small slotted screwdriver) into the notch
in the left-hand side of the hinged upper panel and press the key firmly in that same direction.
This will disengage the internal spring latch. Simultaneously pull open the hinged panel.
Take care not to damage the stainless steel panel or the spring latch in this process.
NOTE: Opening the hinged panel cuts the power to the sensor and the solenoid valve,
preventing accidental activation.
WARNING:
1. Make certain power is disconnected before servicing to reduce the risk of electrical shock.
2. Do not touch any circuit board for any reason.
CAUTION: Do not use an abrasive cloth, brush, polishing compound, or abrasive cleaner to
clean an
y
p
art of the unit.

3/14 Model 2000S Page 6 of 8
Maintenance (continued)
An instructional label is visible when the hinged panel is opened, noting how to replace the filter
(see below).
oNOTE: Water does not need to be shut off to replace the filter cartridge; however, it
should be shut off if the filter head is going to be left without a cartridge installed for a
long period of time.
1. Disconnect the old filter cartridge’s wiring and unscrew the old cartridge.
2. Screw the new cartridge firmly into the filter head and connect the new cartridge’s wiring.
3. The filter status LED should flash green both after the hinged plastic panel is first
closed and when water is dispensing. If it does not, consult the Troubleshooting
Guide.
4. Approximately five gallons of water must be run through the system after the
cartridge is installed in order to remove the loose carbon particles from the filter
cartridge and any air bubbles from the system.
5. Open the unit and examine to assure that there are no leaks; close unit.
Purge Cycle & Cleanliness
For hygienic purposes, the unit
purges itself briefly if it has not
been used in 24 hours. However, it
is recommended that the drain
basin be regularly cleaned and
disinfected with Clorox®Regular
Bleach – use ¾ cup Clorox®bleach
and mix in 1 gallon of water. Pour
slowly throughout the drain basin
and let stand for 5 minutes. Flush
with water and let air dry.
oTo access the drain basin
for cleaning, open the
hinged upper panel and
remove the drain grate (see
right).
The rest of the unit may be cleaned
with a mild sanitizing cleaner, such
as Clorox®Anywhere®Hard
SurfaceTM Daily Sanitizing Spray.
