2. Turn Off Water Supply: Locate and turn off the main water supply to your kitchen sink.
3. Mount the Tap: Insert the 3-way tap into the designated hole on your countertop. Secure it from underneath using the provided mounting accessories.

Operating Instructions

Your BRITA 3-Way Integrated Water Filtration System provides three types of water: filtered, cold, and hot. The tap features separate levers or controls for each function.

• Filtered Water: Use the dedicated lever (often marked or with a blue indicator) to dispense filtered water.
• Cold & Hot Water: Use the standard mixer lever to dispense unfiltered cold or hot water, just like a conventional kitchen tap.
• Smart Filter Change Indicator: The filter head includes an LED indicator that signals when it's time to replace the filter cartridge. Refer to the maintenance section for details on interpreting the indicator.
