What are the advantages of BRITA water filters?
All BRITA water filters provide high filtration performance while effectively reducing a number of substances that can negatively affect taste or odour such as chlorine. Additionally, BRITA water filters are easy to install set up and store.

BRITA MAXTRA+ water filter:
The innovative BRITA MAXTRA+ water filter provides up to four weeks and 100 litres of freshly filtered water. Its ion exchange resin reduces both carbonate hardness (limescale) and metals such as copper and lead. The activated carbon reduces substances that can impair taste, such as chlorine and chlorine compounds.

How do I prepare my BRITA MAXTRA+ water filter for use?
Simply fill a jug or bowl with water. Immerse the BRITA MAXTRA+ water filter in cold water and shake gently to remove any air bubbles. Insert the water filter into the jug’s funnel and run water through the filter twice. After discarding the first two litres, your BRITA water filter is ready for use.

How long can I use a MAXTRA+ water filter for?
To ensure you enjoy high quality BRITA filtered water, replace the water filter in regular intervals.
The lifetime of a water filter depends on the local water quality. If your mains water contains a carbonate hardness of 10 to 12°dH, the water filter should be replaced after 100 litres of water. If the water is harder or consumption is greater, the lifetime of the water filter reduces accordingly.
The water filter should be replaced at least every four weeks.

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 each natural product, coconut shells are subject to natural variances 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.
