Water Filter Cartridge - Brita Maxtra / Plus + Refill

For optimal filtration performance and water quality, it is recommended to replace the cartridge approximately once a month.

No, this is a high-quality compatible alternative designed to fit Brita Maxtra and Maxtra+ style jugs. It is not a genuine Brita branded product.

It is designed to fit Brita Maxtra, Maxtra+, and Maxtra PerfectFit style water filter jugs that utilize a 'drop-in' cartridge mechanism. It will not fit jugs that require a 'twist and lock' type of filter.

It is recommended to briefly submerge the new cartridge in water and gently shake it to release any trapped air bubbles before inserting it into the jug. Also, discard the first two filtered batches of water.

It effectively reduces limescale, chlorine, and other common impurities found in tap water, leading to improved taste and odor.

Info needed: Please consult local recycling guidelines or the manufacturer's website for specific recycling instructions regarding used filter cartridges.

Ensure the cartridge is correctly seated in the jug's funnel; sometimes a slight adjustment can help. Try removing the cartridge, briefly submerging it in water, and shaking gently to release any air bubbles, then reinsert. Also, confirm your jug uses a 'drop-in' mechanism, as these cartridges are not compatible with 'twist and lock' systems.

First, ensure you have discarded the initial two filtered batches of water after installing a new cartridge, as this helps to flush out any harmless carbon dust. If the taste persists, check if the cartridge is overdue for replacement (they last approximately one month). Make sure the cartridge is new and installed correctly.

These cartridges are designed for Brita Maxtra, Maxtra+, and Maxtra PerfectFit style jugs that use a 'drop-in' cartridge mechanism. Please verify that your jug is not a 'twist and lock' model, as these cartridges will not fit those systems. Double-check your jug's model against the compatibility list.

These are harmless carbon particles that can sometimes be released from a new filter, especially if it wasn't thoroughly pre-soaked or the initial flush wasn't performed. Discard the water, rinse the jug, and flush a few more times with fresh water until the particles disappear. This typically resolves after the first few liters.
