FAQs
How often should I replace the MAXTRA+ filter cartridge?
For optimal performance and hygiene, it is recommended to replace the MAXTRA+ filter cartridge every 4 weeks. The electronic indicator on the lid will help remind you.
Can I put the entire BRITA jug in the dishwasher?
No, only the water jug itself (the main body) is dishwasher safe up to 50°C. The lid is not dishwasher safe and should be hand-washed.
What impurities does the MAXTRA+ filter remove?
The MAXTRA+ filter uses Micro Carbon Pearls to reduce chlorine and other substances that impair taste and odor, such as limescale. It also reduces certain heavy metals like lead and copper.
Why do I need to flush the filter before first use?
Flushing the filter removes loose activated carbon particles and ensures the filter is ready for optimal performance. Discarding the first two pitchers of filtered water is the recommended procedure.
What is the total capacity of the jug?
The BRITA Marella jug has a total capacity of 2.4 liters, with a filtered water capacity of 1.4 liters.
How does the cartridge change indicator work?
The electronic indicator on the lid has a memory function that helps you track the recommended usage time for your filter cartridge, reminding you when it's time for a replacement.
Is this jug suitable for hard water areas?
Yes, the MAXTRA+ filter helps reduce limescale, which can be beneficial in hard water areas, improving the taste of water and potentially extending the life of water-using appliances.
Troubleshooting
Water is not filtering through
Ensure the filter is correctly seated in the funnel. Check for any blockages in the filter or spout. Try re-soaking and re-inserting the filter.
Filtered water tastes unusual
Replace the MAXTRA+ filter cartridge. Ensure the jug and filter have been properly flushed after initial setup or filter change. Clean the jug thoroughly.
Electronic indicator not working
Check if the indicator has been activated correctly (refer to manual for specific activation steps). If battery-powered, it may need replacement. Ensure it's properly seated on the lid.
Jug or lid is damaged
Contact customer support for replacement parts or a new unit if within warranty.
