Brita pitchers are popular water filtration systems that provide fresh and clean drinking water. Over time, the pitcher may need to be cleaned or the filter replaced. To do this, you will need to take apart the pitcher. In this article, we will guide you through the steps to take apart a Brita pitcher.
Gather the Supplies
Before you start, you will need to gather the necessary supplies. You will need a clean workspace, dish soap, a sponge, and a towel. You will also need a replacement filter if you plan on replacing the old one.
Remove the Lid
The first step is to remove the lid of the pitcher. This can be done by simply pulling it off the top of the pitcher. Set the lid aside for cleaning later.
Remove the Filter
Next, you will need to remove the filter. To do this, hold the pitcher over a sink and turn it upside down. You should be able to see the filter at the bottom of the pitcher. Grip the filter and turn it counterclockwise to release it from the pitcher.
Disassemble the Pitcher
With the filter removed, you can now disassemble the pitcher. Hold the pitcher upside down and remove the bottom piece. This should easily come off with a gentle twist. Next, remove the spout by pulling it straight out of the top of the pitcher.
Once the spout is removed, you can now take apart the top piece. Grip the handle and twist it counterclockwise to release it from the top piece. You can now remove the top piece from the pitcher.
Clean the Parts
Now that the pitcher is disassembled, it’s time to clean the parts. Wash each piece with dish soap and a sponge. Rinse the pieces thoroughly and dry them with a towel.
Replace the Filter
If you have a replacement filter, now is the time to insert it into the pitcher. Simply place the filter into the bottom of the pitcher and turn it clockwise to secure it in place.
Reassemble the Pitcher
With the parts clean and the filter replaced, you can now reassemble the pitcher. Start by placing the top piece onto the pitcher and twisting it clockwise to secure it in place. Next, insert the spout and twist it clockwise to secure it. Finally, replace the bottom piece of the pitcher by twisting it clockwise.
Once the pitcher is fully assembled, fill it with water and enjoy fresh and clean drinking water.
