Setup, Compatibility & Care
To prepare your filter for use, submerge the new cartridge in cold water and shake it gently to remove any trapped air bubbles. Insert the filter into the Brita jug funnel, pressing down until you feel a firm seal. For the first two fillings, discard the filtered water, as the first run-through may contain small particles of activated carbon, which are harmless but aesthetically undesirable. Brita recommends replacing your filter every 150 liters or at least every four weeks to ensure consistent hygiene and filtration performance. These cartridges are compatible with all current Brita jugs that utilize the Maxtra Pro format.
