1. Introduction

This instruction manual provides essential information for the proper installation, operation, and maintenance of your BRITA Advanced Water Filter Pitcher Replacement Filters. Following these guidelines will ensure optimal performance and longevity of your filters, providing you with healthier, great-tasting water.

These filters are certified to reduce substances such as copper, mercury, and cadmium, and significantly reduce the taste and odor of chlorine. Please note that the presence of these reduced substances may vary in different water sources.

The BRITA Advanced Water Filter Pitcher Replacement Filters are designed for use with compatible BRITA water filter pitchers. Each filter features a convenient top cap for easy installation and does not require pre-soaking, allowing for quick setup and immediate use.

3. Setup and Installation

1. Unpack the Filter: Remove the new BRITA Advanced Water Filter from its packaging.
2. No Pre-Soaking Required: Unlike some older filter models, these advanced filters do not require pre-soaking. They are ready for immediate use.
3. Insert into Pitcher: Align the filter with the opening in your BRITA pitcher's reservoir. Press the filter firmly into place until it is securely seated. The top cap design facilitates a quick and easy fit.
4. Initial Flush: For the first two full pitchers of filtered water, it is recommended to discard the water or use it for watering plants. This flushes out any loose carbon particles and primes the filter for optimal performance.
5. Reset Filter Indicator (if applicable): If your BRITA pitcher has an electronic filter indicator, reset it according to your pitcher's specific instructions. This will help you track when the next filter replacement is due.

4. Operating Instructions

Once installed, your BRITA Advanced Water Filter is ready to use. Simply fill the pitcher's reservoir with tap water, and the filter will begin purifying the water as it passes through. Enjoy great-tasting filtered water in minutes.

These filters are designed for use with cold tap water only. Do not use with hot water.

5. Maintenance and Filter Replacement

Regular filter replacement is crucial for maintaining water quality and filter performance.

• Replacement Schedule: Replace the filter every 40 gallons (approximately 151 liters) or every two months, whichever comes first. This ensures consistent reduction of contaminants and optimal taste.
• Environmental Impact: Each BRITA water filter can replace up to 300 standard 16.9-ounce (500ml) plastic water bottles, contributing to reduced plastic waste.
• Disposal: Dispose of used filters according to local recycling guidelines. Some communities offer specific recycling programs for water filters.

6. Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues with your BRITA Advanced Water Filter, consider the following:

• Slow Filtration:
  • Ensure the filter is securely seated in the reservoir. Remove and re-insert if necessary.
  • If it's a new filter, ensure the initial flush (discarding the first two pitchers) has been completed.
  • If the filter is old, it may be clogged and requires replacement.
• Unusual Taste/Odor:
  • Ensure the filter is properly installed and has been flushed.
  • If the filter is past its recommended replacement period, it may no longer be effectively filtering. Replace the filter.
• Water Leaking Around Filter:
  • Remove the filter and re-seat it firmly into the pitcher's reservoir, ensuring a tight seal.
