FAQs
How often should I change the MAXTRA+ filter cartridge?
You should change your MAXTRA+ filter cartridge approximately every 4 weeks. The BRITA memo electronic indicator on the lid will also flash to remind you when it's time for a change.
Can I use other BRITA filter types in this jug?
No, the BRITA Marella jug is specifically designed to work with BRITA MAXTRA+ filter cartridges. Using other filter types may not fit correctly or provide optimal filtration.
Is the entire jug dishwasher safe?
The water jug itself is dishwasher-safe. However, the lid, which contains the electronic memo indicator, is not dishwasher-safe and should be washed by hand.
What does the BRITA memo display mean?
The BRITA memo is a simple timer that helps you remember when to change your filter. It typically flashes after 4 weeks of use, indicating that the filter's performance has diminished and it's time for a replacement.
Why do I need to prepare a new filter before use?
Preparing the filter by rinsing and soaking removes loose carbon particles and ensures the filter is ready to effectively filter your water from the first use. This process also helps prevent air bubbles from hindering the flow rate.
Are the materials used in the jug safe for drinking water?
Yes, all parts of the BRITA Marella jug that come into contact with water are BPA-free, ensuring the safety of your drinking water.
Troubleshooting
Water flows very slowly through the filter.
Ensure the filter is properly seated in the filter holder. If using a new filter, ensure it was adequately soaked and prepared according to the instructions. Clogged filters may require replacement.
Filter indicator is flashing prematurely.
Reset the BRITA memo display by pressing and holding the button for approximately 6 seconds. If the issue persists, the indicator may need replacement or recalibration.
Cloudy or discolored water after filtering.
This can sometimes occur with new filters due to fine carbon particles. Discard the first two pitchers of filtered water. If the problem continues, try rinsing the filter again or contact customer support.
Jug lid does not fit securely.
Ensure the filter reservoir is correctly placed within the jug and that no part is obstructing the lid's fit. Check for any debris or damage to the rim of the jug or lid.
Lid is not dishwasher-safe and needs manual cleaning.
