Early filter replacement and manual reset of the
Filter Replacement Indicator
Brita® Faucet Replacement Filters have an extra layer to help prevent premature clogging due to
sediment buildup. However, it may still be possible that very high sediment in your tap water may
cause your filter to prematurely clog with sediment. This may reduce the water flow from the system
and require an earlier filter change. If, for any reason, you need to replace your filter early (before the
red flashing signal from the indicator), remove the old cartridge (see directions on Replacing Filter
Cartridge) and prepare to insert a new one (Step 4).
To manually reset the indicator for your new cartridge, wait at least 30 seconds after the old filter has
been removed before inserting the new one. This allows the counter to reset properly.
For optimal use, care and safety
• The Brita® Faucet Filtration System is not intended to purify water. Do not use with water that is
microbiologically unsafe or of unknown quality without adequate disinfection before or after the
system. Systems certified for cyst reduction may be used on disinfected waters that may contain
filterable cysts. Individuals requiring water of special microbiological purity should follow the
advice of their doctor or local health officials regarding the use and consumption of their tap water
and Brita® water.
• The system and installation must comply with state and local laws and regulations.
• Use with cold water only. Do not run hot water (above 100˚F/38°C) through the filter, as it may
damage the filter.
• Do not push filter cartridge release button while filtering water.
• Prior to each use, let water run through the filter for five seconds to activate the filter. If the filter
has not been used for a few days, let the water run for 30 seconds before use.
• For optimal system performance and highest-quality filtered water, promptly replace the filter
cartridge when signaled by the Filter Replacement Indicator.
• Clean the exterior of the Brita® Faucet Filtration System with a damp sponge or soft cloth. A
mild dishwashing liquid may be used. Do not use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads to clean this
product. DO NOT put any parts of this product in the dishwasher.
• Only draw filtered water from filter port. All other water is unfiltered.
• Do not use the Brita® Faucet Filtration System if incoming tap water exceeds 170°F/77°C. Very
hot water will damage the system. (While most of the newer hot water heaters are preset
to 120°F/49°C, temperatures vary from household to household. If you suspect your water
temperature may be higher than 170°F/77°C, check the setting on your water heater.)
