BRITA water filter taps replace your existing kitchen tap. The tap can be installed in the same standard mounting hole (35 mm). The filter cartridge is placed under the sink and can optionally be mounted using the wall bracket supplied. It can be installed horizontally or vertically.

The measurements of the filter cartridges P 1000/A 1000 (including filter head) are:

•BRITA filter A 1000 (l/w/h): 109/93/238 mm
•BRITA filter P 1000 (l/w/h): 119/108/268 mm

The filter tap is a high pressure tap (2 - 8.6 bar) and cannot be connected to a low-pressure boiler. 

The installation is simple and takes about 30 minutes, depending on individual circumstances. The installation is possible for someone confident in DIY.

The integrated water filter tap is a high-pressure tap (2 - 8.6 bar). An installation with a low-pressure boiler is not possible, as this might lead to damage from water leakage.

The 3-way tap has two levers. The left blue lever delivers BRITA filtered water only.  The left handle includes a lifetime indicator for the status of the filter cartridge. The right mixer lever controls regular, unfiltered cold and hot tap water.

This water filter tap features separate water flows and outlets for BRITA filtered water and hot and cold tap water. It is connected to an exchangeable filter cartridge located under the sink. The 360 degree spout rotation offers maximum flexibility for any kitchen sink. 

The lifetime of your filter depends on the filter cartridge you are using (e.g. A 1000, P 1000), the local water hardness, and your individual water consumption. The filter cartridge's lifetime indicator measures your individual consumption and indicates when the cartridge is exhausted.

The filter tap is designed for an easy installation. There are simple instructions and all required parts are included in the comprehensive kit.

If you have further questions about installation, please do not hesitate to contact the BRITACare team.

The filter exchange is simple and typically takes 5 minutes, without the need for any tools. Follow these five steps:

Unlock the cartridge using the two blue levers on the sides of cartridge head. No need to turn off your main water supply thanks to an automatic shut off valve in the cartridge head.
Release the pressure using the flush valve. After doing so, remember to close the valve again. Please be sure to have a vessel for water underneath.
Pull out the old cartridge and replace with a new one.
Lock the cartridge in place with the two blue levers.
Finally, rinse through the cartridge until the filtered water runs clear and without any bubbles (at least 1 litre). When the water is clear, your new filter is perfectly adjusted and can be used immediately.

The comprehensive kit supplied, contains a water hardness test strip to determine how hard your water is. You can then adjust the filter head filtration setting based on the test strip results.

The integrated water filter tap is designed for private households. Household sizes should not exceed 8 persons.
