5. Installation
Step 1:
Remove the existing aerator (C) from the tap. The tap will
either have an external thread (see Fig. 1A) or an internal
thread (see Fig. 1B).
Step 2 with external thread (see Fig. 1A–2A):
Screw the diverter (A) onto the tap. No adapter is necessary.
Step 2 with internal thread (see Fig. 1B–2B):
To attach the diverter (A) to an internal thread you will
need to use the washer (D) and adapter (E) which you will
find in the packaging. First insert the washer into the inter-
nal thread on the tap. Now screw the adapter to the tap,
and then screw the diverter (A) tightly onto the adapter.
Attention: Hand tighten only. Do not use any tools when
attaching the diverter to the tap.
Step 3:
Remove the strip with an arrow which is protruding from
the housing (B) to activate the BRITA On Tap water filter
system battery (see Fig. 3). The three lights in the top
cap will blink twice consecutively. The electronic cartridge
change indicator is now ready to go.
6. Initial operation
Step 1:
The BRITA On Tap water filter system has separate outlets
for unfiltered and filtered water.
Unfiltered water:
If you move the lever (F) to the right (at 3:00 o'clock posi-
tion), unfiltered water will come out of the regular outlet
(see Fig. 4).
Filtered water:
To get filtered water, move the lever (F) to the left (1/4 turn
towards you until it faces you directly). Filtered water will
come directly out of the filter outlet (see Fig. 5).
The symbols on the diverter are designed to assist you in
selecting the required position: The dark drop represents
unfiltered water, the light drop represents BRITA filtered
water. To prevent damage to the diverter, choose the
required position before turning on the tap.
Step 2:
If the BRITA On Tap water filter is new, the filter cartridge
may still contain materials residue. This is harmless to
health and does not influence the performance of your
water filter. Run water through the filter for 1 to 2 minutes
to remove any residue.
Please repeat this process with every new filter cartridge.
The water may briefly become darker in colour until fine
particles are eliminated. You may use this water for your
plants or discard it.
If the BRITA On Tap water filter system has not been
used for more than 24 hours, allow water to pass for 30 to
60 seconds before using the filtered water.
7. Changing the filter cartridge
To ensure optimal performance, one should change the
filter cartridge on a regular basis. The electronic cartridge
change indicator (G) in the top cap (H) tells one when to
change the filter cartridge (see Fig. 6).
The three lights in the top cap of the On Tap housing are
only activated in the filtering position. They indicate the
following:
• Green light: The BRITA On Tap water filter is working.
• Yellow light: 90% of the filter capacity has been used.
Remember to buy a new replacement filter cartridge.
• Red light: The filter cartridge needs to be changed.
