Why BRITA filter products?

These innovative filter containers are a practical, convenient and ecological method to keep you permanently hydrated, without having to constantly carry classic bottles of bottled water. Unlike plastic bottles, which are not at all friendly to the environment, being hard to degrade, BRITA containers are used in the long term, only the simple replacement of the filter cartridges being necessary.

With their help, you can enjoy the authentic taste of water which, once filtered, will be much clearer and impurities will be reduced.
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 container, carefully remove the funnel, then, holding 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 container is provided with a BRITA MAXTRA PRO filter cartridge, an improved version of the original MAXTRA+ version. The innovative "MicroFlow" filtration technology of the MAXTRA PRO cartridges with which the BRITA filter containers 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.

Cartridge change indicator

The Flow filter container 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. During the use of the MAXTRA PRO filter cartridge every week, one bar will disappear from the display, thus indicating the remaining life span.

Compared to previous versions of BRITA cartridges, MAXTRA PRO has a final filter screen 4 times more efficient, compared to MAXTRA+ filter; the water from the tap will be passed in the first phase through a larger sieve for a first purification, first retaining the coarse particles, and finally it will be filtered again, passing through a much finer sieve.

The formula of "Micro Carbon" active carbon particles efficiently and quickly removes organic impurities that affect taste and smell. At the same time, the ion exchange resin reduces 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.

The activated carbon, obtained from the coconut shell, now present in a more compact form than in the previous versions of the filter cartridges, 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.


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!
