7. Changing the battery
The battery should be changed after approximately a year.
One can tell when the battery is exhausted when one sees
the lights on the top cap do not blink during the filtration
process. When the light no longer blink, the battery needs
to be changed. When this occurs, use the filter cartridge as
usual for the remaining part of the three months and then
insert a new battery.
To replace the battery, proceed as described in section
4. “Installattion/Step 3.” Instead of inserting the supplied
battery as described above, you now have to replace
the battery. Always use a type CR 2032 battery. Please
dispose of the old battery in accordance with the
applicable law and regulations.
8. Removing the housing
The BRITA On Tap water filter system is supplied
preassembled. It is not necessary to unscrew the diverter
(A) and the housing (B) to operate the water filter (see
Fig.2A). If you do wish to unscrew these parts (e.g. for
cleaning purposes), please do so properly without force,
following the instructions below. Please ensure that the
housing is always cleaned without the filter cartridge
inserted.
Step 1:
Detach the On Tap housing (see Fig.9) by first rotating it by
¼ turn towards you until the top cap is facing you and the
BRITA logo is facing down. Secondly, pull it carefully to the
left and out. Discard any water left inside the unit.

Step 2:
To install the housing again (see Fig.10), first guide the
housing carefully to the right and into the diverter. Make
sure that the top cap is facing you and the BRITA logo is
facing down. Secondly, rotate the housing ¼ turn away
from you and upwards. To re-use the filter cartridge, allow
the water to run through for 1 to 2 minutes.

Cannot attach
diverter to the tap.
Determine whether you need an
adapter (see section Installation
— Step 2). If the adapter does
not fit, please contact the official
distributor for your country.
Filtered water drips
out of the water
outlet even when
the tap is turned off.
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.
Hot water was
accidentally run
through the filter for
a short time.
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.
Water leaks from
the connection
between the
diverter and the tap.
A) Ensure that you have attached
the diverter to the tap correctly
(do not use any tools!).
B) If the tap has an internal
thread, ensure that the flat
gasket has been fitted right at
the top of the adapter.

diverter and the On
Tap housing.
