Pitcher filters should be kept in the sealed Brita
®
bag and stored in a cool, dry place until you’re
ready to use them. Remember to soak the filter for 15 minutes prior to using.
If your Brita
®
Faucet Filter has not been used for several days, you should let water run through
the filter for 30 seconds before use, in order to wet and reactivate the system’s filter.
For your Brita
®
bottle, squeeze one full bottle of water through the filter before use to activate.

Things to avoid
Hot water : Don’t filter water that is over 38°C/100°F. Hot water may release some
contaminants that could be found in your tap water. Also, running hot water through the unit
can severely diminish the system’s filtration abilities. If this happens, you should replace your
Brita
®
faucet filter to ensure you enjoy all of the benefits of Brita filtration.
Well water : Don’t use water filtration systems with well water that isn’t regularly tested to be
microbiologically safe. This filter is intended to be used only with municipally treated tap water
or well water that is regularly tested.

Attaching Your Brita® Faucet Filtration System
Determine if your faucet has threads on the outside or inside. If on the outside, you probably do
not need to use an adapter. The base system can most likely be attached directly to the faucet
(consult your Users’ Guide). Pick up the base unit, align with the faucet threads and carefully
attempt to connect the system to the faucet. If the threads are on the outside, but you can’t get the
collar onto the faucet, you may need a special adapter. To receive a special adapter free of
charge, call 1-800-387-6940.
