Setup: Filter Replacement
Replacing your Brita On Tap filter is a simple, 1-click process that requires no tools. Follow these steps to ensure proper installation and optimal performance:
- Remove Old Filter: Locate the existing filter on your Brita Faucet Filtration System. Press the release button (if applicable) and gently pull the old filter downwards to detach it.
- Prepare New Filter: Unpack the new Brita On Tap Replacement Filter from its sealed packaging.
- Install New Filter: Align the new filter with the faucet filtration system. Push the filter upwards until it clicks securely into place. Ensure it is firmly seated to prevent leaks.
- Flush Filter: Run cold water through the newly installed filter for approximately 5 minutes to flush out any carbon dust and prepare the filter for use.
- Reset Filter Indicator: If your system has a filter life indicator, reset it according to your specific faucet system's instructions. This typically involves pressing and holding a button until the indicator light changes.

Operating the Filtration System
Once the replacement filter is installed, your Brita Faucet Filtration System is ready to provide filtered water. Simply activate the filtered water flow on your faucet system. The multi-stage filter works to reduce various impurities, providing cleaner and better-tasting water directly from your tap.

Maintenance
Regular filter replacement is crucial for maintaining the quality of your filtered water. The Brita On Tap Replacement Filter should be replaced every 100 gallons or every four months, whichever comes first. Your Brita Faucet Filtration System typically includes a standard filter indicator to help you monitor filter life.

Troubleshooting
If you experience issues with your Brita Faucet Filtration System after replacing the filter, consider the following:
- Slow Water Flow: Ensure the filter is correctly seated and fully clicked into place. A new filter might have initial slow flow as it saturates; run water for a few minutes. If the issue persists, the filter might be clogged prematurely due to high sediment in your water, or it might be time for a replacement if it's an older filter.
- Leaking: Check that the filter is securely installed and that all connections on your faucet system are tight. Remove and re-install the filter to ensure proper seating.
- Unusual Taste/Odor: Ensure the filter was properly flushed after installation. If the taste or odor persists, the filter may be exhausted and require replacement, or there might be an issue with your water supply.
