Brita Marella XL Starter Pack Filter Mug – 3.5L, Blue + 2 Maxtra PRO Filters

Starter pack "Marella" for water filtration, brand BRITA, composed of:

transparent plastic carafe, total capacity 3.5 l, filtered water capacity 2 l;
special funnel for the filter, made of plastic without BPA (Bisphenol A);
plastic cover, with Memo type indicator for changing the filter cartridge.


Why BRITA filter cans?

These innovative filter cups are a practical, convenient, and ecological method to keep you permanently hydrated, without having to constantly carry classic bottles of bottled water. Unlike environmentally friendly and hard-to-degradable plastic bottles, BRITA mugs can be used in the long term, requiring only the simple replacement of the filter cartridges.

With their help, you can enjoy the authentic taste of water which, once filtered, will be much clearer, and impurities will be reduced.

In addition, the Marella filter mug has a special design that allows it to be stored on the door of any refrigerator.

The carafe and the funnel can be washed in the dishwasher, with the exception of the lid, which will be cleaned manually.



Cartridge change indicator

The Marella filter cup is provided with a warning system for changing the Memo type cartridge, positioned on the lid. Easy to observe and set, this is an AUTOMATIC indicator. How does it work? It monitors the water filtration process and displays the remaining operating time of the MAXTRA PRO cartridge. After inserting the MAXTRA PRO cartridge, press and hold the START button for a few seconds, until the 4 bars are displayed on the screen and will alternately light up twice. Each bar represents one week out of the four in which the MAXTRA PRO cartridge can be used with maximum performance. At the end of each week of using the MAXTRA PRO filter cartridge, one bar will disappear from the display, thus indicating the remaining life span.



Replacement of the MAXTRA PRO filter cartridge

For a consumption of 2 l of water per day per person and to obtain optimal results every time, we recommend replacing the MAXTRA PRO cartridge every 4 weeks or every 150 l of filtered water. After the expiration of the recommended term, detach the lid of the filter cup, carefully remove the funnel, then, grasping the cartridge on both sides, pull it up. The new ergonomic shape of the MAXTRA PRO cartridges allows their removal and replacement easily.

MAXTRA PRO technology

The mug is equipped with a BRITA MAXTRA PRO filter cartridge, an improved version of the previous MAXTRA variants. The innovative "MicroFlow" filtration technology of the MAXTRA PRO cartridges with which the BRITA filter jugs are provided ensures optimal results every time, their performance being the result of 5 years of research in the BRITA laboratories in Germany. The taste of tea and coffee, whether hot or cold, will be visibly improved once the water used for them has been filtered with MAXTRA PRO. Using filtered water, limescale will no longer be deposited on the devices and their life will thus be extended.

MAXTRA PRO offers an economical and environmentally friendly alternative for tap water consumption, the cartridges being 100% recyclable.

Compared to previous versions of BRITA cartridges, MAXTRA PRO has a final filter screen that is 4 times more efficient compared to the MAXTRA+ filter. The water from the tap will be passed through a super-fine sieve in the first phase for a first purification, first retaining the coarse particles from the old pipes, and finally it will be filtered again through an additional high-performance filter sieve.

The formula of activated carbon particles "Micro Carbon" removes impurities that affect the taste and smell of water more efficiently and faster. At the same time, the powerful ion-exchange pearls reduce the level of limescale and metals, such as copper and lead. The performance results of BRITA cups and the impeccable taste of filtered water are mainly due to these particles.

Activated carbon, obtained from the coconut shell, present in a compact form, can more efficiently filter a larger amount of water. The micro-pores of the coal particles capture unwanted substances, even in the fight against pesticides.

*BRITA filters have been designed to be used only for filtering tap water (note: if the water is checked regularly and has been declared potable) or for filtering water that comes from private suppliers and has been declared potable.

Proof of the effectiveness of MAXTRA PRO cartridges?

The entire filtration process, as well as the quality of BRITA products, are tested both in our own laboratories and by organizations such as the famous TÜV SÜD, which certified that BRITA products correspond to European standards in the food industry.

The use of MAXTRA cartridges is even recommended by the British Tea Academy, as it has been proven that the aroma of tea and coffee prepared with water filtered with MAXTRA is intensified.



How does the water purification process actually take place?

Simple! Through a relatively fast process, but by no means superficial, with the help of the 4 basic components of the MAXTRA PRO cartridge.

1. The first sieve stops the penetration of impurities;

2. The "Micro Carbon" particles resulting from the coconut eliminate chlorine and other organic substances that can affect the taste and smell of the drink;

3. Ion exchange resin retains metals and reduces limescale deposits.

4. For a final filtration, the water passes through a final sieve that retains even the finest unwanted particles, being 4 times more efficient compared to MAXTRA+.

5. The water is ready to be consumed!
