Brita Plus Water Filter User Manual
Instructions for Use
- Prepare the Filter: Soak the new Brita Plus filter in cold water for 15 minutes.
- Insert the Filter: Insert the filter into the reservoir by lining up the groove in the filter with the notch in the reservoir. Press firmly to ensure a tight seal.
- Add Water: Fill the reservoir with cold tap water. The filter will begin to purify the water immediately.
- Wait for Filtration: Allow the water to filter completely before pouring. The first three pitchers of filtered water should be discarded or used for plants to flush out the system.
- Regular Use: Replace the filter every 40 gallons or approximately every two months for best results.
- Enjoy Your Water: Pour the filtered water into a glass or bottle and enjoy the great taste of Brita filtered water.
Troubleshooting Tips
- Slow Filtration: If filtration is slow, ensure the filter is fully soaked and seated properly. If the issue persists, it may be time to replace the filter.
- Black Particles: Some black carbon particles may appear in the water; this is normal with a new filter. Flush the system by running two to three pitchers of water through the filter before use.
- Unusual Taste or Smell: If the water has an unusual taste or smell, ensure you've flushed the new filter adequately and that it's securely installed. If the problem continues, replace the filter.
- Filter Falls Out: If the filter falls out of the reservoir, realign it with the notch and press firmly to secure.
