Product Information
BRITA Filters & Cartridges
The BRITA Filters & Cartridges are designed to provide clean and filtered water for your everyday use. The filters use the PerfectFit System, which ensures that all tap water is reliably filtered through the filter. The filter material consists of a mixture of ion exchange resins and activated carbon, tested to food grade quality. The ion exchange resin reduces carbonate hardness (limescale) and metals like copper and lead, while the activated carbon reduces substances that may affect taste, such as chlorine and chlorine compounds.
1. The funnel of my jug is rattling - is it broken?
No your jug is not broken! What you can hear is the PerfectFit System within the jug, but this is nothing to worry about. The PerfectFit feature ensures that all of the tap water is reliably filtered through the filter. BRITA has improved its water filters by modifying the funnel to ensure a perfect between BRITA filter jug and cartridge.
2. What is the PerfectFit System?
Our German engineers always strive to find the best possible solutions and to improve our existing products. They have developed the PerfectFit System ensuring that our filters fit perfectly into our filter jugs and so filter all the tap water reliably through the filter. The water is only running through the filter jug if a BRITA MAXTRA+ filter is firmly and properly inserted.
3. What are the black particles in my water after filtering?
It's just activated carbon from the BRITA water filter. The granulated activated carbon is made of coconut shells. Like all natural products, coconut shells are subject to natural variations in product quality. Sometimes this leads to abrasion of parts of the carbon into your filtered water. Preparing your water filter as described in the product manual can help eliminate carbon dust.
4. How long can I use a BRITA MAXTRA+ filter cartridge for?
To ensure you enjoy high quality BRITA filtered water, replace the filter cartridge at regular intervals. The lifetime of a filter cartridge depends on the local water quality. If your mains water contains a carbonate hardness of 10 to 12°dH, the filter cartridge should be replaced after 100 litres of water. If the water is harder or consumption is greater, the lifetime of the cartridge reduces accordingly. The cartridge should be replaced at least every four weeks.
5. The inside of my filter cartridge is damp. What should I do?
Don’t worry, it’s completely normal. Whether it’s damp or dry has no effect on the water filter’s performance.
6. How does the MAXTRA+ water filter work? What is inside the water filter?
The filter material of the MAXTRA+ water filter contains a mixture of ion exchange resins and activated carbon that has been tested to food grade quality. The ion exchange resin used reduces the carbonate hardness (limescale) and reduces metals, such as copper and lead that can occur as a result of domestic installation. The activated carbon reduces substances that may impair taste, such as chlorine and chlorine compounds.
7. How can I download the refill exchange reminder? How does the refill exchange reminder work?
a. Scan the QR code from the packaging with your smartphone (Android: QR Code App required / iphone: integrated in camera) b. Your calendar opens with a 4 weekly calendar entry for the filter exchange. Simply save the BRITA calendar entry to your calendar. Your calendar will now remind you every 4 weeks to replace your filter.
8. My tap water is not flowing through my filter properly or only dripping? What happened?
A) you have not used an original BRITA MAXTRA filter B) you have not fully inserted the MAXTRA filter into your water filter jug. Please press the filter down a bit more into the funnel and try again. C) you have not prepared your MAXTRA cartridge as per the instructions on pack
