3 BRITA Tap – easy installation

!

Installation of the fi lter system must comply with the relevant state or local plumbing regulations and standards (AS/NZS 3500). The pressure limiting valve must be installed as directed to comply and protect your tap from possible pressure surges. Depending on the necessary method of connection to the cold water supply, additional valves/adaptors/components may be required, and the services of a licensed plumber may be necessary. If you do not have an available connection to the cold water supply and it is necessary to cut into the cold water supply line, a licensed plumber is required.

Before starting, please check that you have all the components as 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 8) and the Operation and Safety Information. (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 8) for operation.) The system cannot be installed with a low pressure boiler.

3.1 Step 1: Selecting appropriate setting on the fi lter head

The fi lter head is set to “B” by default. For use with the supplied A 1000 fi lter cartridge you need to change the setting in the win-dow to “0”. Use an Allen key (hexagonal socket wrench) and turn the hexagonal nut in the direction of the arrow in the window until the “0” appears. Refer fi g. 2)

(fi g. 2)

3.2 Step 2: Starting the BRITA Tap Cartridge Status Indicator

The BRITA Tap Cartridge Status Indicator reminds you through three different coloured fl ashing lights when to exchange the fi lter cartridge.

A Commissioning:Insert the enclosed battery (1x CR2032) into the appropriate compartment of the BRITA Tap Cartridge Status Indicator. Note the print on the battery for correct implementation (fi g. 3). All LEDs should fl ash shortly. Close the compartment. Keep the Reset but-ton pushed for three seconds until a small green light fl ashes three times at the top (fi g. 4).

B Initial programming of the BRITA Tap Cartridge Status Indicator:

Please programm the BRITA Tap Cartridge Status Indicator as follows (see fi g. 4):

a Cartridge SettingPush the button on the left side (CARTRIDGE) to set the cartridge you are using. If you push the button one time, two yellow LEDs will fl ash (default cartridge setting: P 1000). To set the supplied fi lter cartridge A 1000, push the button, until one yellow LED fl ashes.

Note: In Australia and New Zealand BRITA Tap is not compatible with fi lter cartridges P 1000 and P 3000.


6 ENGLISH

b Hardness Setting (Button HARDNESS on the right side)In Australia and New Zealand setting the hardness level is not necessary and will have no impact on the cartridge lifetime.c To change a setting, simply push the button until the right num-

ber of LED lights are fl ashing.d Insert the BRITA Tap Cartridge Status Indicator into the BRITA

water dispenser’s lever (see fi g. 3).

C How the BRITA Tap Cartridge Status Indicator worksTo ensure optimal performance, you should change the fi lter cartridge on a regular basis. The Cartridge Status Indicator in the BRITA lever tells you when to change the fi lter cartridge.

D SignalsThe three lights in the BRITA lever are only activated in the fi ltering

position. They indicate:- Green light: The BRITA Tap fi lter is working.- Yellow light: 90 % of the fi lter capacity has been used. Remem-

ber to buy a new replacement fi lter cartridge.- Red light: The fi lter cartridge needs to be changed

E Reprogramming the BRITA Tap Cartridge Status Indicator

If the maximum volume is reached or the cartridge has been used for 6 months, the BRITA Tap Cartridge Status Indicator will start fl ashing red (only if BRITA lever is in the fi ltering position).In this case the fi lter cartridge should be replaced (chapter 4). Once the cartridge has been replaced the BRITA Tap Cartridge Status Indicator has to be reset. For this purpuse push the Reset Button (fi g. 4) of the Cartridge Status Indicator for three seconds until it starts fl ashing green (for this step, you do not need to remove the BRITA Tap Cartridge Status Indicator from the BRITA lever).If replacing the battery, commissioning should be followed in accordance with section 3.2.

3.3 Step 3: Installing the BRITA Tap

To install the BRITA Tap, fi rstly ensure you have all the components required.

!Please, make sure that there is enough room and access under the sink to allow for the installation of the fi lter head and cartridge, and to connect the two supplied hoses.

!

The supplied hose for connection to the cold water supply requires the availability of an already installed ½" isolation or angle valve. Before installation, please ensure you have such a free ½" isolation or angle valve and that it is working prop-erly (closeable to 100 %). If not, please contact a licensed plumber. In accordance with regulations, the isolating valve which is included in your kit must be installed at the point of connection to the water supply before the fi lter system inlet hose. Behind the isolating valve a pressure limited valve must always be installed to ensure the right function of the cartridge.

9 Operation and Safety

Protect the A 1000 water fi lter cartridge from direct sunlight and mechanical damage.Do not assemble near sources of heat and open fl ames. A stop valve must be installed before the fi lter system intake hose. A pressure reducer must be installed in front of the tap and fi lter sys-tem. The BRITA Tap is only suitable for domestic use. Only water of drinking water quality may be used as intake water for the BRITA water fi lter system.The BRITA Tap is only suitable for cold water use within the sup-ply water temperature stated in chapter 8. No microbiologically impaired water or water of unknown quality may be used without appropriate disinfection.The system cannot be installed with a low pressure boiler.

In the event of offi cial water alert:fi lter fi rst, and then boil

If there are offi cial instructions to boil tap water, the fi lter system must be decommissioned. When the requirement to boil water comes to an end, the fi lter cartridge must be replaced and the connections cleaned.

Ultimate hygiene

• For hygiene reasons, the fi lter material of the cartridge is sub-jected to a special bacteriostatic treatment with silver. A minute quantity of silver, harmless to health, may be released into the water, within the guidelines of the World Health Organisation (WHO) for drinking water.• It is generally recommended to boil tap water for certain groups of people (e.g. people with weak immune systems, babies). For such groups, this would also apply to fi ltered water.Similar to the conventional taps, before using you should let water rinse through for a short period so you can enjoy your BRITA fi ltered water.

Optimum use

• BRITA recommends that the fi lter system not be decommis-sioned for a long period. If the BRITA Tap with A 1000 fi lter is not used for several days (2–3 days), we recommend that the fi lter system be fl ushed by running the volume X indicated in the table below. After stagnation periods of over 4 weeks, the fi lter should be fl ushed by running the volume Y or otherwise consider replacing the cartridge if it is near the end of its recom-mended life. Please also note the maximum usage period of the fi lter cartridge is 6 months.

Flushing volume X after 2–3 days stagnation Flushing volume

A 1000 1 Litre

Flushing volume Y after 4 weeks stagnation Flushing volume

A 1000 10 Litres

• BRITA fi ltered water is designed for human consumption. Use it within 1–2 days.

• The fi lter system must not be opened or dismantled during operation. The fi lter cartridge must not be opened.

• The fi lter system fi lter head is designed for a service life of 5 years counted from the date of installation.

Natural traces

As the fi lter cartridge contains carbon, derived from natural charcoal, as with such natural matter, there may be variations and this can lead to a slight abrasion of small carbon particles into your fi ltered water, noticeable as black dust. These particles have no negative health effects. If ingested, they will not harm the human body. If you should see any carbon particles in the fi ltered water, BRITA recommends fl ushing out the A 1000 fi lter cartridge by run-ning the fi lter tap until the particle deposits are washed out.
