FAQs

How often should I replace the BRITA MAXTRA+ filter cartridge?

For optimal performance, BRITA recommends replacing the MAXTRA+ filter cartridge approximately every 4 weeks. The electronic cartridge change indicator on the lid will help remind you when it's time.

Can I use hot water to fill the jug?

No, only use cold tap water. Using hot water can damage the filter cartridge and affect its performance.

What is the total capacity of the BRITA Marella jug?

The BRITA Marella jug has a total capacity of 2.4 liters, with a filtered water capacity of 1.4 liters.

Is the entire jug dishwasher safe?

No, only the jug body and the water reservoir are dishwasher safe (up to 50°C). The lid and the electronic cartridge change indicator must be hand washed.

What does the electronic cartridge change indicator do?

The indicator uses a timer and memory function to track the filter cartridge's usage duration. It will flash to remind you when it's time to replace the cartridge for continued effective filtration.

What impurities does the MAXTRA+ filter remove?

The MAXTRA+ filter is designed to reduce common tap water impurities such as limescale, chlorine, certain pesticides, herbicides, and metals like lead and copper, which can affect taste and odor.

Can I use other types of BRITA filters with this jug?

This BRITA Marella jug is specifically designed for use with BRITA MAXTRA+ filter cartridges. Using other types of filters may not fit correctly or provide optimal filtration.

Troubleshooting

Water filter is not filtering properly or is very slow.

Ensure the MAXTRA+ cartridge is properly seated in the filter holder. Try re-soaking and rinsing the cartridge as per initial setup instructions. Check if the cartridge needs replacement.

Electronic indicator is not working.

Ensure the indicator is properly attached to the lid. Try resetting the indicator by pressing and holding the START button for 6 seconds. Check the battery if applicable (older models may have replaceable batteries; newer ones are integrated).

Water tastes unusual after filtering.

This can happen with a new cartridge. Discard the first two pitchers of filtered water. Ensure the cartridge is fully submerged during soaking and rinsed correctly. If the issue persists, replace the cartridge.

Jug is difficult to clean.

Remember the lid and indicator are not dishwasher safe. Hand wash these parts with mild soap and a soft cloth. The jug and reservoir can be washed in the dishwasher (ensure they are dry before reassembling).

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Initial Setup:

  3. Fill the Reservoir: Fill the water reservoir with cold tap water. Do not use hot water.
  4. Flush the System: Discard the first two pitchers of filtered water. This flushes the system and removes any loose carbon particles.
