Over 50 years of experience is a guarantee of quality
For over 50 years, BRITA has stood for constant innovation and the highest
quality of water filter solutions. To reach high quality requirements at BRITA
there are stringent internal and external quality controls.
Lifetime of the ON TAP water filter
ON TAP water filter lifespan depends on local water quality. The ON TAP water
filter filters up to 600 litres. To ensure optimum performance you should
change your ON TAP water filter every 600 L / four months. To remind you of
the next water filter change, your BRITA ON TAP is equipped with a filter
exchange indicator.

To ensure that you get the best results from your BRITA ON TAP, please follow
the instructions carefully.

Insert / replace filter cartridge
Caution : If the BRITA On Tap is new, the filter cartridge may still contain material residue. This is harmless to health and does not affect the performance of your water filter. 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. -
Water modes
Caution : Always use cold water (5 – 23 °C) for the filtered mode. Otherwise, the filter will be damaged.
Cleaning
For maintenance, remove the whole system from the tap in the reverse order of installation. Cleaning is recommended when the cartridge is replaced.
- Rinse the system body with unfiltered tap water. Do not use detergent, thinner or alcohol to clean the surface of the system body. Clean the outside of the BRITA On Tap with a damp sponge and mild washing-up liquid. Abrasive cleaners, detergents or chrome polish may mark the finish.
- Use a clean toothbrush to clean the unfiltered water outlet, and rinse off any contamination under running tap water and wipe well with a clean cloth.
- Do not put the BRITA On Tap or any of its parts in the dishwasher
Ultimate hygiene
For everyday usage: extract unfiltered water for 5 seconds before switching to
filtered water mode to prevent filter from being clogged, and extract filtered
water for 5 seconds before usage. If the BRITA On Tap has not been used for
more than 2 days, repeat the steps for everyday usage but extract filtered
water for 20 seconds instead of 5 before usage. If the BRITA On Tap has not
been used for more than 2 days, repeat the steps for everyday usage but
extract filtered water for 3 minutes instead of 5 before usage.
If there is odour found in the filtered water, please change the filter
cartridge

Troubleshooting
If a fault occurs, please read the following potential causes and their
remedies.
If the problem persists, contact your local BRITA customer service team.
Problem : I cannot attach the system to my tap.
Solution : Determine which adapter you need (see page 4). If the adapter
does not fit, please contact your local BRITA customer service team.
Problem : Filtered water drips out of the water outlet even when the tap
is turned off.
Solution : There is still water under pressure in the On Tap housing when
the tap is turned off. It is normal for the filtered water flow to continue
for a few seconds.
Problem : Hot water was accidentally run through the filter for a short
time.
Solution : A small amount of hot water running through the water filter
will not damage it. However, make sure you always use cold water for the
filtering process.
Problem : Water leaks from the connection between the system and the tap.
Solution : A) Make sure you have chosen the right adapter for your kind
of tap.
B) Ensure that you have attached the system to the tap correctly (do not use
any tools!).
Problem : Water leaks from the side of the filter cartridge cap.
Solution : Ensure that the filter cartridge cap has been tightened
properly.
Problem : The display countdown does not show anything when the water
filter switch is in the filtering position.
Solution : A) Ensure that the battery has been installed correctly.
B) The battery is exhausted. See the section Changing the CR 2032 battery
Important notes
- BRITA filtered water is dedicated for human consumption only. It is a perishable food and as such please consume it within one day.
- Do not install the BRITA ON TAP on a water supply line with a water pressure exceeding 0.35 MPa. If the inlet water pressure exceeds 0.35 MPa, a relief valve must be installed (purchased separately)
- Do not install the BRITA ON TAP on a water supply line with a water pressure lower 0.07 MPa. If the inlet water pressure is lower 0.07 MPa, a constant water flow can’t be guaranteed.
- The water temperature for the filtered water mode should be between 5 – 23 °C.
- Nominal flow: 1.6 L / minute (according to JIS S 3201:2004)
- This device is intended for domestic use only
In the that tap water is not safe to drink: filter first, and then boil
BRITA ON TAP is designed for use only with municipally treated tap water
(note: this water is constantly controlled and according to legal regulations
safe to drink) or with water from private supplies which has been tested as
safe to drink. If an instruction is received from the authorities that mains
water must be boiled, then BRITA filtered water must also be boiled. When the
instruction to boil water is no longer in force, the entire BRITA ON TAP must
be thoroughly cleaned and a new water filter cartridge inserted.
For certain groups of people (e.g. those with impaired immunity and for
babies), it is generally recommended that tap water should be boiled; this
also applies to BRITA filtered water.
Natural traces
Like each natural product, the consistency of the BRITA Micro Carbon Pearls is
subject to natural variances. This can lead to a slight abrasion of small
carbon particles into your filtered water, noticeable as black bits. These
particles have no negative health effects. If ingested, they will not harm the
human body. In case you observe carbon particles, BRITA recommends to flush
the water filter several times or until the black bits disappear.
Correctly dispose BRITA ON TAP
At the end of the lifetime of the
BRITA On Tap water filter system, please remember that it must be disposed of
according to the local applicable regulations and statutory requirements as
electric/electronic waste. Please remove the filter cartridge before disposal
of the system and dispose it in normal domestic waste. The product contains a
Lithium battery which must be disposed separately according to the local
applicable regulations and statutory requirements.
Sustainability is important to us
