Getting Started with Your LONGLAST® Filter

FILTER PREPARATION INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Wash your hands with soap and water, then remove filter from filter bag.
  2. Hand-wash pitcher/dispenser, lid and reservoir periodically with a mild detergent. Do not wash in dishwasher. Do not use abrasive cleaners. Rinse well.Brita Ultra Max Large Water Dispenser User Manual-1
  3. Insert filter into reservoir by lining up groove in filter with ridge in reservoir. Press firmly for a tight seal. Fill the reservoir with cold tap water. Discard your first three pitchers or first dispenser of filtered water, or use to water plants.
  4. Be sure to activate the electronic indicator. Please refer to Filter Change Indicator instructions.Brita Ultra Max Large Water Dispenser User Manual-2
    • IMPORTANT NOTES:
    • For best results when filling pitcher/dispenser reservoir, pour tap water on the side of the reservoir rather than directly on top of the filter.
    • Allow water to filter completely before pouring or refilling reservoir. The Brita® LONGLAST® filter keeps a healthy level of fluoride, a water additive that promotes strong teeth (applies to fluoridated municipal tap water).
    • To register your system and to find more information on product usage, filter and product recycling, and new products from Brita, visit www.brita.com (U.S.A.) or www.brita.ca/register (Canada).
      • No bottles to throw away
      • Hot water should not be used with the Brita® LONGLAST® Filter (Max. 85°F/29°C – Min. 32°F/0°C).

Filter Change Indicator (Dual Mode)

INDICATOR INSTRUCTIONS (TO BE DONE WHEN INSTALLING A NEW FILTER):

Reset your filter change indicator every time you replace your filter. Filter replacement is essential for product to perform as represented.

  1. To reset the indicator, press the STATUS button and hold it down. This system comes with a Brita® LONGLAST® filter (blue in color). Hold down the STATUS button for 6 seconds. Do not release until the green light next to LONGLAST® FILTER has blinked green three times by itself. This indicates that the LONGLAST® filter mode (120 gallons) has been selected. If using the standard Brita® filter (white in color), hold down the STATUS button for 2 seconds and then release. All lights will blink simultaneously twice, and then
    the green light next to STANDARD FILTER will blink three times by itself. This indicates that the standard filter mode (40 gallons) has been selected.
  2. If you accidentally select the incorrect mode, repeat the step 1 instructions above until you successfully select the mode that correlates with the filter being used.
  3. When using your pitcher/dispenser, open the Fill Lid completely. Always fill the reservoir with water all the way to the provided “Max Fill” line. Close the Fill Lid.
  4. Check filter life status at any time by pressing Status button for 1 second and releasing. The light corresponding to current filter status will blink for 1 second.
  5. The indicator light will also blink after each time you fill the reservoir and close the Fill Lid. A blinking green light indicates that the filter is good.
  6. When 0% of the filter life remains, the red light next to REPLACE will blink, indicating the filter should be replaced.
  7. Replace the filter and reset the indicator (see step 1).Brita Ultra Max Large Water Dispenser User Manual-3

IMPORTANT:

  • ONLY keep the FILL LID open for more than 5 seconds IF you are filling the reservoir with water.*
  • ALWAYS wait until the reservoir is empty before refilling.
  • Filter performance is not certified after life of the filter (40 gallons for standard filter and 120 gallons for Brita® LONGLAST®). Changing your filter regularly helps ensure you have cleaner, great-tasting water.
  • The indicator contains a nonreplaceable, sealed battery. After several years of use, the indicator will stop working, but the pitcher/dispenser is still functional. Continue to change the filter regularly as directed.†
  • The filter change indicator is activated when the lid is opened for 5–8 seconds (based on size of reservoir) for pitcher models and for 16 seconds for dispensers. It measures water use by counting the number of times the reservoir is filled. Always fill to max line to ensure accuracy, and open reservoir lid only when filling reservoir with water. Filter change indicator logic does not account for product misuse

Remember

  • For maximum efficiency, filter no more than 2 gallons (7.5 liters) daily.
  • We recommend that you store your Brita® system in the refrigerator to get cold, great-tasting water. If you would like to keep your Brita® system outside of the refrigerator, we recommend that you keep it in a cool area that is not in direct sunlight and replace any filtered water that has been left sitting for several days or more. This will help make sure you get refreshing, great-tasting Brita® water.
  • For best results when filling pitcher/dispenser reservoir, pour tap water onto the side of the reservoir rather than directly on top of the filter.
  • Visit www.brita.com (U.S.A.) or www.brita.ca (Canada) to find out where you can purchase replacement filters.Brita Ultra Max Large Water Dispenser User Manual-4

  • NSF Minimum Percent Reduction Requirement.
  • Valid for the following systems: Ultramax Jet Black (OB24), Space Saver (OB21), Amalfi (OB32), Grand Color Series (OB36), Pacifica (OB41), Capri (OB43), Mini Plus (OB44), Marina (OB47), Monterey (OB50), and Wave (OB53).
  • These systems have been tested according to NSF/ANSI 401 (for applicable systems), 42 and 53 for reduction of the substances listed. The concentration of each of the indicated substances in water entering the systems was reduced to a concentration less than or equal to the permissible limit for water leaving the systems, as specified in NSF/ANSI 401, 42 and 53.
  • Maintenance according to the manufacturer’s instructions is essential for proper filter performance. Replace the Brita® LONGLAST® filter (model #OB06) every 120 gallons/454 liters (about every 6 months for the average family). For maximum efficiency, process no more than 2 gallons/7.5 liters daily.
  • Testing was performed under standard laboratory conditions. The contaminants or other substances removed or reduced by this water treatment device are not necessarily in all users’ water. Filter performance may vary based on local water conditions.
  • The Brita® LONGLAST® filter is not intended to purify water. Do not use with water that is microbiologically unsafe or of unknown quality without adequate disinfection before or after the system. Individuals requiring water of special microbiological purity should follow the advice of their doctor or local health officials regarding the use and consumption of their tap water and Brita filtered water.
  • The compounds certified under NSF/ANSI 401 have been deemed as “incidental contaminants/emerging compounds.” Incidental contaminants are those compounds that have been detected in drinking water supplies at trace levels. While occurring at only trace levels, these compounds can affect the public acceptance/perception of drinking water quality. Hot water should not be used with the Brita® LONGLAST® filter (Max. 85°F/29°C – Min. 32°F/0°C).

Brita Ultra Max Large Water Dispenser-FAQs

How long should I run water through a new Brita filter?

Flush your new Brita Stream® Filter with cold water for 15 seconds before first use.

Why is my Brita stream leaking?

Overfilling is a common cause. Avoid filling the dispenser past the maximum fill line to prevent water from overflowing into or over the handle when pouring.

Why is my Brita filtering water so quickly?

A new filter initially flows faster because it hasn’t yet captured microscopic particulates. Over time, as the activated charcoal traps more particles, the flow will slow down slightly.

How does the Brita Smart Light work?

The Smart Light blinks after water is poured. A green blinking light means the filter is functioning well. It tracks water use based on 8 fl. oz. increments to indicate when the filter needs replacement.

How much water can the Brita Ultra Max dispenser hold?

The Brita Ultra Max dispenser has a capacity of 25 cups of filtered water and is made from BPA-free materials.

Why does my Brita filter grow mold so quickly?

Continuous exposure to moisture in the pitcher can lead to mold or mildew growth. Regular cleaning and drying of the pitcher can help prevent this.

Are Brita filters safe to use?

Yes, Brita Elite Filters are NSF/ANSI 53 certified to reduce contaminants such as PFOS and PFOA from drinking water.

Why is my Brita water foamy?

Foaminess may occur due to air bubbles trapped in the filter. Tapping the pitcher while water is in the reservoir can help release these bubbles.
