Pull out faucets are taking over traditional sink faucets. After all, the convenience they provide, is unmatched, if you compare them to regular faucets. However, if you use Brita faucet filters, it can be a problem if you want to install a pull out faucet.

So, if you were wondering how to install a Brita water filter on a pull-out faucet, we’ve got the answer for you. As Brita filters are designed for traditional faucets, there’s no direct way to install them on a pull-out faucet. Instead, you must make do with some DIY methods described below.

Installing Brita Water Filter on Pull Out Faucet

Here’s how you install a Brita faucet filter under normal circumstances.

• Unscrew the faucet aerator counterclockwise to unlock it, using a coin or wrench if necessary.
• Clean any limescale or rust on the faucet with vinegar or mild detergent.
• Attach the appropriate adapter from the Brita filter kit to match your faucet’s threads.
• Push the Brita filter base onto the adapter until it clicks, aligning it with the faucet spout.
• Slide the Brita filter mounting down onto the base until it locks in place.
• Secure the Brita filter cup onto the mounting by twisting it clockwise.
• Firmly press the Brita filter cartridge onto the cup, aligning the pegs.
• Use the switch on the side of the filter to select filtered or unfiltered mode, and turn on the faucet to use the Brita filter.

Now, installing it on a pull out or pull down faucet is rather the same with just a few key differences. What are they?

• Make sure that the pull out faucet you buy matches your Brita water filter’s aerator size and thread type. 
• Match the attachment mechanism of the pull out faucet with the Brita.
• If your pull out faucet comes with a spray wand, remove it, and attach the Brita water filter in its place.

Is There any Alternatives?

If you’ve already bought a pull out faucet and it doesn’t match the aerator size and attachment mechanism of the filter, here’s what you can do:

• Use an under-sink filter
• Use a countertop filter

In fact, if you are a heavy user, we recommend using an under-sink filter for better performance.
