4-piece 'Pure Performance Maxtra+' filter set - BRITA

4-piece BRITA MAXTRA+ filter set compatible with special water filtering jugs, BRITA brand

One such filter can filtrate approximately 100 l of drinking water (the quantity will depend on the level of water hardness level, as well as on its quality).

For a consumption of 2 l of water per day per person and to obtain optimal results every time, we recommend that the MAXTRA+ cartridge be replaced every 4 weeks or after 100 l of filtered water. After the recommended timeframe expires, detach the filtering jug lid, carefully remove the funnel, then, grip the cartridge on both sides and pull it up.
The new ergonomic shape of the MAXTRA+ cartridges enables their removal and replacement easily.

The new cartridges fit all BRITA filtering jugs except for the BRITA Classic jugs whose manuafcturing was discontinued in 2012.

MAXTRA+ technology

BRITA MAXTRA+ filter cartridges are an improved version of the original MAXTRA version.
The innovative "MicroFlow" filtration technology of MAXTRA+ cartridges with which BRITA filter jugs are provided, always ensures optimal results, their performance being the result of 5 years of research in 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+. Using filtered water, limescale will no longer build up on the appliances and their service life will be prolonged.

MAXTRA+ provides an economical alternative and not at all harmful for environment, to drinking water consumption, the cartridges being 100% recyclable.

MicroFlow technology generated by the coconut shell

• Ion change substances
• Activated carbon micro-granules

Brita Ultra Mesh

Finer sieve to prevent impurities from entering in the filter

Brita carbon micro-granules

Round carbon micro-granules to reduce the impairing taste and odor substances 

Brita ion change micro-granules

Synthetic resins acting as ion change granules to reduce limescale builtup  

Compared to previous versions of BRITA cartridges, MAXTRA+ is provided with a 25% finer and more efficient filter screen and a 30% larger total filter area; tap water will be strained through a larger sieve in the first stage for the first purification, first retaining the coarse particles, and at the end it will be filtered again, passing through a much finer sieve.

The new formula of "Micro Carbon" activated carbon particles, smaller and rounder than those used before, more efficiently and faster removes organic impurities that impair taste and odor. At the same time, ion exchange resin reduces the level of limescale and metals such as copper and lead. The high-performance results of BRITA mugs and the impeccable taste of the filtered water are mainly due to these particles.

The actived carbon, obtained from coconut shell, now even more compact than in previous versions of filter cartridges, can filter even more efficiently a larger quantity of water. The micro-pores of the carbon particles collect the undesired substances, even pesticides.

*The BRITA filters were designed to filter tap water (note: provided the water is tested regularly and has been declared potable) or to filter water sourced from private suppliers and which has been declared potable.

Proof of MAXTRA+cartridge efficiency?

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

The use of MAXTRA+ cartridges is recommended even by the British Tea Academy, as it is a proven fact that the aroma of tea and coffee is enhanced when brewed in the water filtered with MAXTRA+.

How does the water purification process actually take place?

Simple! Through a relatively fast process, yet not at all superficial, with the help of the 4 basic components of the MAXTRA+ cartridge.

1. The first sieve stops impurities;
2. "Micro Carbon" particles from 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 sieve that retains even the finest unwanted particles.
5. The water is ready to be consumed!
