Run water through the filter for 1 to 2 minutes to remove any residue. Please repeat this process with every new filter cartridge. You may use this water for your plants or it can be discarded. If the BRITA On Tap has not been used for more than 24 hours, allow water to pass for 30 to 60 seconds before using the filtered water.

When does the BRITA On Tap not work?
The BRITA On Tap filter system is not intended to be connected to a low- pressure water heater; it is an external contact system and its internal receptacle will not support the pressure of the supply pipe.
The following characteristics will help you determine whether your equipment is a low-pressure water heater:
• A low-pressure water heater is usually installed immediately next to the sink or underneath it.
• Low-pressure taps are fitted with 3 connections (open system).
• When the supply of hot water has been used (between 5 and 10 liters), only cold water will come out of the tap.

When does the BRITA On Tap work?
The BRITA On Tap water filter system can be easily connected to the following hot water supplies:
Please note that hot water may only be used with the BRITA On Tap’s unfiltered water settings (shower and stream) and only cold water may be filtered.

Central hot water supply:
As a general rule, the central supply of hot water in a house is connected to the central heating system. This is usually located in the cellar, loft or in a cupboard.
Instant water heaters:
Instant water heaters (pressurized systems) are installed in pressurized pipes and must be able to withstand the pressure applied. This type of water heater often supplies hot water to several parts of the house (e.g. the kitchen and bathroom). In contrast to the traditional system, the instant water heater supplies hot water within a few seconds and in an unlimited quantity.
Large volume water heater ( > 50 liters):
Large volume water heaters (> 50 liters) operate under pressure. In most cases, these water heaters supply hot water to several parts of the house (e.g. the kitchen and bathroom).

Working pressure: 0.7 bar to 3.5 bar
