Filter Replacement Indicator
Regular filter replacement is the key to ensuring healthier and great-tasting water. The Brita® Faucet
Filtration System makes it easy for you to know when to change your filter.
The filter replacement indicator monitors the filter life and tells you when to replace the filter
cartridge, based on average water quality and filtered water usage by the average family of four.
The filter replacement indicator will signal the need for replacement after approximately
100 gallons/378 liters. Each time you begin filtering water, the indicator will advance.

Replacing filter cartridge
Replacing the filter cartridge is easy. If the filter replacement
indicator appears solid red, it is time to replace the filter
cartridge. Prompt filter replacement ensures healthier, great-
tasting water. Brita® Faucet Filtration System replacement
filters are available in white or chrome finish.
To remove the old cartridge, turn water off, press the filter
cartridge release button located at the back of the filter cup
and pull cartridge up to remove it. To insert a new cartridge,
follow the directions in Step 4.
NOTE:
Do not remove the cartridge unless you intend to replace it.
Once the filter has entered the Replacement Warning Period, inserting a
cartridge will automatically reset the Filter Replacement Indicator. Only
a Brita® Faucet Filtration System replacement cartridge will fit the Brita®
Faucet Filtration System.
Early filter replacement
Brita® Faucet Filtration System replacement filters have an extra layer to help prevent premature
clogging due to sediment buildup. However, it may still be possible that very high sediment in your
tap water may cause your filter to prematurely clog with sediment. This may reduce the water flow
from the system and require an earlier filter change. If, for any reason, you need to replace your
filter early (before you see solid red), remove the old cartridge (see directions on Replacing Filter
Cartridge) and prepare to insert a new one (Step 4).
