Operation / Maintenance Data
These units are intended for non-commercial use. They should be used only in ambient air temperature of between 40 degrees F /
4.4 degrees C and 100 degrees F / 37.7 degrees C. Placement of these units in direct sunlight or use of electrical heating equipment
on these units must be avoided. Replace filter cartridge when and as directed in the installation / operation instructions included with
each cartridge. Replacement filter cartridges are available at retail outlets.
Please read all instructions, specifications, and precautions before
installing and using your water filter system.
Because of the product’s limited service life and to prevent costly repairs or possible water damage, we strongly recommend that
the head of the filter be replaced every five years. If the head of the filter has been in use for longer than this period, it should be
replaced immediately. Date the top of any new head to indicate the next recommended replacement date.
DO NOT DRILL THROUGH AN ALL-PORCELAIN OR CAST IRON SINK. If installing on an all-porcelain or cast iron sink, the faucet
must be mounted in a pre-drilled sprayer hole or through the countertop next to the sink. If the countertop must be drilled, make
certain that the area below the drilling location is free of wiring and pipes. Also, make sure that there is sucient room to make the
proper connections to the bottom of the faucet mount. DO NOT DRILL THROUGH COUNTER TOPS MORE THAN 1” IN THICKNESS
OR COUNTERTOPS MADE OF TILE, MARBLE, GRANITE, OR SIMILAR SUBSTANCE. Consult with a plumber or the countertop
manufacturer for assistance.
NOTICE
This filter must be protected from freezing, which can cause cracking of the filter and water leakage.
Precautions: for cold water use only.
Consult your local plumbing codes and install accordingly.
WARNING: Be sure that all electrical appliances and outlets are turned o at the circuit breaker before working in the cabinet area.
WARNING
• These filters are not water purifiers. Do not use with water that is microbiologically unsafe or of unknown quality without
adequate disinfection before or after the system. Systems certified for Cyst reduction may be used on disinfected water that
may contain filterable Cysts.
• This system is not intended to convert waste water or raw sewage into drinking water.
This unit is not designed to filter sulfur odor (rotten egg odor) caused by hydrogen sulfide. Use of carbon filters to treat sulfur odor
may intensify taste/odor problems.
Please comply with all state and local regulations regarding the installation of water treatment devices.
The contaminants or other substances reduced by the water filter device are not necessarily in your water.

Plan Your Installation: It is recommended to read through the entire manual before beginning your
installation. Follow all steps exactly. Reading this manual will also help you get all the benefits from your
system. Your Reverse Osmosis Drinking Water System can be installed under a sink or in a remote location.
Typical remote sites are a basement, laundry room, or utility room. Review the location options below and
determine where you are going to install your system.
Under the Sink Location: The Reverse Osmosis Filter Assembly and storage tank are normally installed in a
kitchen or bathroom sink cabinet. See top diagram. A suitable drain point is needed for reject water from the
Reverse Osmosis Filter.
Remote Location: You can also locate the Reverse Osmosis Filter Assembly and storage tank in a remote
location away from the Reverse Osmosis Faucet. You will need a nearby water source and drain point. See
bottom diagram. Note: Ensure the location is heated. Cold incoming water will adversely aect RO flow rate.
Check Space Requirements: Check size and position of items for proper installation into location chosen.
Before starting, close the cold water shut-o valves. Temporarily place tank and filter assembly into cabinet.
Double check position of items and space required for proper installation. Remove tank and filter from cabinet
and set aside. Note: You must check and comply with all local plumbing codes.
NOTE: DO NOT CONNECT

Introduction
Thank you for your recent purchase of the Brita® Reverse Osmosis (RO) Filtration System. You have
purchased a filtration system with a technology that has proven itself eective for filtering ultra-fine
water contaminants. This method of filtration is the most common water treatment technology used
by premium bottled water companies.
The system uses pressure and a membrane with very fine pores wrapped around a core. Pressure
is used to force water through many layers of the membrane. Because of this small pore size and
the many layers of the membrane the water has to travel through, this RO system is capable of
reducing many kinds of contaminants that many traditional carbon block filters are unable to reduce.
Contaminants like Chromium (VI), Arsenic (V), and Nitrites/Nitrates. For a complete listing of all
contaminants this sytem removes, please refer to the Performance Data Sheet included with this
sytem.
This system is rated to produce around 19 gallons per day of filtered water. That is why there is a
pressurized water tank that comes with this sytem. The system is always working to produce filtered
water to keep the storage tank filled with filtered water. The system also comes with two carbon
block filters to help improve the taste of water as well.
The system, once properly installed, is fully automatic. It continues to filter water until the tank is
full. As the tank is drained from use, it again starts to filter water to fill the tank. There is also another
automatic function of this filter - a back-flush. The membrane uses a cross flow to sweep away
rejected contaminants from the water left behind in the membrane. These contaminants are flushed
down the drain through the drain adapter. You will sometimes hear a gurgling sound coming from
the faucet - this is to let you know the RO is flushing the membrane. All of this of course helps to
optimize the life of the membrane. The 12 month filter life would be considerably less without this
feature.
All of this works o the natural pressure supplied by your home's household water lines. Pressure
should be between 40 PSI and 100 PSI (maximum). This system is complex. Be sure to read the set-
up instructions and perform all maintenance procedures to enjoy RO filtered water from your system.
If you would like to learn more about Reverse Osmosis, please visit our website or scan the MS Tag
at the bottom of this page. And remember, our experienced Customer Service team is available to
answer any questions you may have.
Thank you and enjoy!
Sincerely,
Brita and Protect Plus Water Filtration Team

Pressure Test the System (IMPORTANT: Complete sanitizing procedures on Page 16 before pressure testing.)
• Open cold water supply valve to RO Filter System Assembly.
• Open kitchen faucet. This will purge air from plumbing system. Close kitchen faucet
when water runs smooth.
• Ensure RO Faucet is closed.
• Pressure will start to build in RO Filter System Assembly in about 2 hours. Carefully
inspect all fittings and connections while the RO Filter System Assembly builds
pressure. Check for leaks and fix if any are found by ensuring all tubing is cut
square and fully iserted. Also ensure tubing doesn't have a scratch, dent, or notch
at the end. If so, cut 1" o squarely and re-insert. If problems exist, refer to the
troubleshooting chart or call the toll free number.
Note: When RO Filter System Assembly is first pressurized, water may "discharge" from faucet air gap hole until
air is passed from RO Filter System Assembly.
Purge the System
• Open the RO Faucet and let water flow through the system for a 24 hour period.
Water will flow heavily until tank becomes empty, and then it will be a slow drip for
the balance of 24 hours.
• Close RO Faucet after 24 hour purge is complete.
• Your Reverse Osmosis system is ready for use when purge is complete.
Note: Flow rate will be very slow during the purge.
Review the following operating features before using your Reverse Osmosis System:
You will not have filtered water immediately. It will take 1-3 hours to completely fill the
storage tank to create liberal flow from the faucet. The flow rate from the RO system will
be less than your kitchen faucet. Water will run to the drain while the RO is filtering water,
even when you are not using it. You may hear water going to the drain - this is normal.
Water going to the drain will automatically stop when the storage tank is at capacity.

You can also run the drain tubing to an existing drain in the house. A floor drain, laundry
tub, standpipe, sump, etc. are suitable drain points. This type of drain is preferred over
the drain connector. Check your local codes. Longer lengths of tubing (see parts list in
manual) may be needed.
Always be sure to provide an air gap between the end of the hose and the drain point.
This will prevent water from backing up into the system. Air gaps are required code in
most areas.
