3. Setup and Installation

The Brita WD 3030 system is designed for under-sink installation. The starter kit includes all necessary components for setup.

Important Considerations:

• This water filter faucet cannot be installed with a low-pressure water heater.
• Ensure sufficient space under the sink for the filter cartridge and its wall mount.
• If you are not confident with plumbing installations, it is recommended to consult a qualified plumber.

Installation Steps (General Overview):

1. Turn off the main water supply.
2. Remove your existing faucet.
3. Install the Brita WD 3030 faucet into the sink or countertop opening.
4. Mount the filter head and P 1000 cartridge under the sink using the provided wall mount.
5. Connect the water lines from the faucet to the filter head and the main water supply according to the detailed instructions provided in the physical manual.
6. Before connecting the filter cartridge, adjust the water hardness setting on the filter head (A, B, or C) based on your local water conditions. This should be done before the first use.
7. Insert the P 1000 filter cartridge into the filter head.
8. Slowly turn on the main water supply and check for leaks.

4. Operating Instructions

The Brita WD 3030 faucet features two levers for easy control of water flow and type.

• Unfiltered Water: Use the main lever (typically on the right or front) to dispense unfiltered hot or cold water, similar to a standard kitchen faucet.
• Filtered Water: Use the smaller, dedicated lever (typically on the left or side) to dispense Brita filtered water. This water is separate from the unfiltered supply.

Filter Status Indicator:

Some models of the Brita WD 3030 faucet may include an electronic filter status indicator, often located on the faucet body. This indicator typically uses a color-coded light (e.g., green, yellow, red) to signal the remaining filter capacity or when a filter change is due.

Cleaning the Faucet:

6. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your Brita WD 3030 faucet, refer to the following common problems and solutions:

• Reduced Water Flow (Filtered Water):
  • Check if the filter cartridge needs replacement. A clogged filter will reduce flow.
  • Ensure the water supply valves to the filter system are fully open.
  • Verify that the filter head is correctly installed and the cartridge is properly seated.
• Unusual Taste or Odor in Filtered Water:
  • The filter cartridge may be exhausted and needs replacement.
  • Ensure the filter system was properly flushed after installation or cartridge replacement.
• Leaks:
  • Check all connections for tightness. Do not overtighten.
  • Inspect O-rings and seals for damage.
  • Ensure the filter cartridge is correctly inserted and sealed in the filter head.
• No Water Flow:
  • Check if the main water supply is on.
  • Ensure all shut-off valves for the faucet and filter system are open.
  • The filter cartridge might be completely blocked; try replacing it.

If these steps do not resolve the issue, please contact Brita customer support or a qualified plumber.
