The Brita Maxtra is a water filter cartridge designed to improve the quality of your drinking water by removing common impurities. Using a combination of activated carbon and ion exchange resin, it reduces chlorine, limescale, and heavy metals such as lead and copper, which helps your beverages taste cleaner and protects your appliances from mineral buildup. Each cartridge has a filtration capacity of approximately 150 liters and typically lasts for 4 weeks before needing replacement. It is compatible with Brita Maxtra, Maxtra+, and Maxtra Pro filter jugs, making it a versatile choice for various models. To get started, you simply soak the filter in cold water for 5 minutes and rinse it before installation.
