3 BRITA Tap –
easy installation
Before starting, please check that you have all the components
listed above (see fig. 1) as well as the recommended tools.
There are 7 steps to the installation.
Prior to installation, read the Technical Data (chapter 7) and
the Important Information (chapter 9). The system cannot
be installed with a low pressure boiler as this might lead to
!
water damages.
After storage and transport below 0°C, the product must be
stored in the open original packaging for at least 24 hours at
the stated ambient temperatures (chapter 7) for operation.
3.1 Step 1: Selecting the carbonate hardness
setting (++/+) on the filter head
The filter head has been set to meet most European water con-
ditions. In some soft water areas though, you may wish to adjust
the filter head to your local settings. To do so, first carry out a
c arbonate test using the supplied testing strip. The strip can be
found in the outer wrapping of these Usage Instructions.
Using the testing strip:
• L et the red response field of the probe soak in a glass of your
tap water for 1 second (fig. 2).
• A fter 1 minute, compare the colour of the response field with
the table and read the appropriate setting from the table.
Depending on the colour of the testing strip, we recommend
s etting your filter head as follows:
Setting +
Red, orange,

H ardness [°fH]
Grains per Gallon CaCO3
up to 8.9
[gpg CaCO3]
Milligram per Litre CaCO3
up to 151
[mg/L CaO3]
The filter head is set to "++" by default. To change the setting,
use an Allen key (4 mm). Turn in the direction of the arrow until
the "+" appears in the window (fig. 3).
The filter head contains a flow regulator already installed which
guarantees smooth water flow from your dispenser even at higher
water pressures.
3.2 Step 2: Starting the BRITA electronic
cartridge exchange indicator
A Commissioning:
Please insert the enclosed batteries (2 x AA) into the appropriate
compartment of the B RITA electronic cartridge exchange indicator
with display. A long beep will sound after insertion of the batteries.
B Initial programming with ++ or + setting (see step 1):
Important: The B RITA electronic cartridge exchange indicator has
been set to 90 days to co-ordinate with the cartridge filtration
set t ing of "++" . Both of these default settings will deliver optimum
filtration performance for most water conditions.
Caution: Please, ensure that you activate the electronic B RITA
cartridge exchange indicator with display during the day so that the
signal can start during the day.
