Installation

NOTES:

1. Keep the unit upright while moving, operating, or storing it.

2. This unit is certified for indoor use only. Be certain that the installation location for this

unit is level, is not in direct sunlight, is not next to a heat source, and will not freeze. 4” of

clearance around the unit must be maintained to facilitate air circulation.

3. Install this unit within 6’ of its power source. Do not use extension cords or two-pronged
power outlets.

4. Do not use with water that is microbiologically unsafe or unknown quality without
adequate disinfection before or after the system. Systems certified for cyst reduction may
be used on disinfected waters that may contain filterable cysts.

5. For all plastic 1/4" push-in type fitting connections, only connect NSF-61 copper or plastic
tubing. Stainless steel or glass tubing is not recommended. The following assembly
instructions must be followed to ensure a watertight connection:

a. Cut tubing square and clean.
b. Mark 11/16” from end of tube.
c. Push tube into the fitting until it bottoms out.
d. To remove, depress collet and pull tubing out.

Cooler Installation
Step 1: Remove the bright orange Trademark Usage Guidelines Agreement label on the filter (see

below), thereby accepting the guidelines. The label reads as follows:

Removal of this label signifies you or an appropriate owner’s agent will comply with all

BRITA® Trademark Usage Guidelines as well as maintain the unit to the standards as

first installed. Detailed information noting requirements can be found in the Owner’s

Manual.

Screw the filter cartridge into the filter head.

Step 2: Remove the top lid of

the cooler. Unscrew
the 3 Phillips screws
that hold down the
internal lid and lift it
out of place. This will
expose the filter area.

Step 3: Locate the tubing

running into the float
valve on the cooler
tank (see diagram).
There are several
inches of extra length
on this tubing down in
the filter area; without
disconnecting either
end, pull this extra
length out and cut it
squarely approximately at the midpoint.

Step 4: Lower the filter assembly partway into the filter area. Connect the newly-cut length of tubing

running from the float valve into the filter outlet (ports are labeled). Connect the other cut
length of tubing into the filter inlet. Lower the filter assembly completely into the cooler,
taking care not to kink the tubing.
