>The first step of the BRITA Water Filter Instructions is to find and detach the aerator from your water faucet. A water faucet aerator is the device attached in the water faucet that protects the water from flowing out of a water faucet as one big stream. It spreads the stream of flowing water into many little droplets which makes it streamlined and manageable to work with flowing water out of a water faucet. As a result, it reduces splashing of water and helps to save water as well. The aerator can be located in most water faucets at the tip of the water faucets.
> The next step of the BRITA Water Filter Instructions is to examine the water faucet threads, which are special thread sizes for fittings that connect to water faucets. This step of the BRITA Water Filter Instructions is important in order to find out if you need an adapter for installing the BRITA water filter for faucets or not. Once you have taken a look at the water faucet threads, the question to be answered is: are the water faucet threads on the outside? OR, are the water faucet threads on the inside?
NOTE: If the water faucet threads are found on the outside, then the answer is simple as you will not need an adapter in all likelihood. At this point, please make the effort to attach the BRITA water filter system directly to the water faucet. Observe if it fits properly or if it does not fit properly. If the BRITA water filter system fits, then this step is complete. But if the BRITA water filter system does not fit, please see the BRITA website or find another way to obtain the phone number for BRITA’s customer service department as they may be help you in solving this case of BRITA Water Filter Installation Instructions for water faucets.
If the water faucet threads are found on the inside then there is a likelihood that you will need to use a set of the adapters and washers provided. Adapters and washers help to ensure effective compatibility between the different parts or pieces for installing the BRITA water filter for faucets. That is why it is important to choose the appropriate adapter and washer that will fit the water faucet. But if neither the adapter nor the washers fit properly, then please see the BRITA website or find another way to obtain the phone number for BRITA’s customer service department as they may be help you in solving this case of BRITA Water Filter Installation Instructions for water faucets.
> The next step of the BRITA Water Filter Instructions involves alignment of the BRITA water filter cartridge with the insert groove. Begin with simply holding the BRITA water filter cartridge above the filter cup firmly. Make sure you have a tight grip while keeping these parts together. Then proceed by aligning the insert groove on the lower section of the BRITA water filter cartridge with the matching groove inside the front of the BRITA water filter cup. It is important to make this alignment correctly before moving to the next step of the BRITA Water Filter Instructions for faucets. At this point it will start looking like an extension coming out of the faucet with BRITA water filter cup facing upwards with an open mouth.
> This step of the BRITA Water Filter Instructions involves getting your hands ready to insert the BRITA water filter cartridge. But what you will need to ensure is that your grip is firm while installing the BRITA water filter cartridge. Begin this step by putting your one hand underneath the bottom of the base parts to support the BRITA water filter cup which at this point is ready to take the BRITA water filter cartridge. When you have the bottom parts tightly gripped in your one hand, use the other hand to lift the BRITA water filter cartridge and place it inside the filter cup until it produces the sound of a “click”. Once the sound of “click” is heard, it means that that the BRITA water filter cartridge got inserted successfully.
(This last step of the BRITA Water Filter Instructions completes the installation part of the BRITA water filter system for faucets. However, there are some observations and testing tips that we would like to provide in order to make sure that the BRITA water filter system for faucets has been installed correctly and works properly.)
NOTE: If you are installing the advanced model BRITA Faucet Filtration System with Advanced Features (MODEL FF-100), look out for a GREEN signal that should flash in approximately ten seconds after the “click” happened. This GREEN signal is a success indicator showing that the BRITA water filter got correctly installed and engaged and that it is ready for use.
– Once the BRITA water filter has been mounted and installed on the water faucet, please make sure to find the filtered BRITA water setting and turn the BRITA water filter handle to that setting.
– At this point, it is highly recommended to turn on the water faucet on which the BRITA water filter has been installed and let the water run for approximately five minutes. This helps to flush out the newly installed BRITA water filter for a little while before starting to use it fully
And that’s it! Your newly installed BRITA water filter is ready for use to get filtered, clean, good-tasting water directly from the water faucet!
