BRITA 3-Way Water Filter Dispenser –
easy
installation
Before starting, please check that you have all the components
listed above (see fi g. 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.

Step 1: Selecting the carbonate hardness
setting (++/+) on the fi lter head
The fi lter head has been set to meet most European water con-
ditions. In some soft water areas though, you may wish to adjust
the fi lter head to your local settings. To do so, fi rst carry out a
carbonate test using the supplied testing strip. The strip can be
found in the outer wrapping of these Usage Instructions.
Using the testing strip:
•
Let the red response fi eld of the probe soak in a glass of your
tap water for 1 second (fi g. 2).
•
After 1 minute, compare the colour of the response fi eld with
the table and read the appropriate setting from the table.
Depending on the colour of the testing strip, we recommend
setting your fi lter head as follows:
Setting
+
++
Colour
Red, orange,
yellow
Green, dark
green
Capacity

500 L
German Carbonate
Hardness [°dH]
up to 8.5
above 8.5
English Carbonate
Hardness [°eH]
up to 10.6
above 10.6
Setting
+
++
French Carbonate
Hardness [°fH]
up to 15.2
above 15.2
Grains per Gallon CaCO3
[gpg CaCO3]
up to 8.9
above 8.9
Milligram per Litre CaCO3
[mg/L CaO3]
up to 151
above 151
The fi lter 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 (fi g. 3).
The fi lter head contains a fl ow regulator already installed which
guarantees smooth water fl ow from your dispenser even at higher
water pressures.

B Initial programming with ++ or + setting (see step 1):
Important: The BRITA electronic cartridge exchange indicator has
been set to 90 days to co-ordinate with the cartridge fi ltration set-
ting of “++”. Both of these default settings will deliver optimum
fi ltration performance for most water conditions.
Caution: Please, ensure that you activate the electronic BRITA
cartridge exchange indicator with display during the day so that the
signal can start during the day.
Initial programming with ++ setting (see fi g. 4):
a
