BRITA Style filtering jug 2.4 L Maxtra Pro Limescale Expert (Sand)

Water filtering jug "Style", produced by BRITA, composed of:

- transparent plastic container, total capacity 2.4 l, filtered water capacity 1.4 l;
- special filter funnel made of BPA-free (Bisphenol A) plastic;
- filter cartridge MAXTRA PRO Limescale Expert - can filter approximately 150 l of tap water*, providing strong limescale reduction;
- plastic lid with a LED indicator for filter cartridge replacement.

Why choose BRITA filter jugs?

These innovative filter jugs are a practical, convenient, and eco-friendly way to keep yourself hydrated at all times without constantly carrying classic bottled water. Unlike plastic bottles that are not environmentally friendly and degrade very slowly, BRITA jugs are used long-term, requiring only 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.

Due to its compact size and shape, the Style filter jug is perfect for storage on the fridge shelf, and thanks to its elegant design, it will look impeccable once placed on the table.

The carafe and funnel can be washed in the dishwasher, except for the lid which should be cleaned manually. 

Filter cartridge replacement indicator

The Style filter jug is equipped with a filter replacement warning system of the LED type, positioned on the lid. This system is unique among BRITA jugs and is found only in the Style range. Called "Smart Light", this system monitors the remaining lifespan of the MAXTRA PRO cartridge and alerts the user by changing colors from green to yellow and then to red.

To activate the monitoring system, press and hold the LED button for about 5 seconds, during which the green LED will flash alternately 3 times. Every time the Style filter jug is used, the green light will turn on; when the green light is replaced by yellow during use, you will know it’s time to replace the MAXTRA PRO filter cartridge.

If the warning light turns red, the filter capacity has completely expired (the recommended amount of water has already been filtered).

Replacing the MAXTRA PRO filter cartridge

For a consumption of 2 l of water per day per person and for optimal results each time, we recommend replacing the MAXTRA PRO cartridge every 4 weeks or after filtering 150 l of water. After the recommended time, remove the lid of the filter jug, carefully take out the funnel, then grasp the cartridge on both sides and pull it upwards.
The new ergonomic shape of the MAXTRA PRO cartridges allows easy removal and replacement.

MAXTRA PRO Technology

The jug is equipped with the BRITA MAXTRA PRO filter cartridge, an improved version of the original MAXTRA+.
The innovative "MicroFlow" filtering technology of the MAXTRA PRO cartridges used in BRITA filter jugs ensures optimal results every time, a performance resulting from 5 years of research in BRITA laboratories in Germany. The taste of tea and coffee, hot or cold, will be noticeably improved once the water used has been filtered with MAXTRA PRO. Using filtered water prevents limescale build-up on appliances, thus extending their lifespan.

MAXTRA PRO offers an economical and environmentally friendly alternative for tap water consumption, with cartridges that are 100% recyclable.

Compared to previous versions of BRITA cartridges, MAXTRA PRO has a final filtering mesh that is 4 times more efficient compared to the MAXTRA PRO filter; tap water first passes through a larger mesh for preliminary purification, trapping coarse particles, then is filtered again through a much finer mesh.

The "Micro Carbon" activated carbon particle formula efficiently and quickly removes organic impurities that affect taste and smell. At the same time, ion-exchange resin reduces limescale and metals such as copper and lead. The high performance of BRITA jugs and the impeccable taste of filtered water are mainly due to these particles.

Activated carbon, made from coconut shells and presented in a compact form, can filter larger amounts of water more efficiently. The micro-pores in the carbon particles capture unwanted substances, even helping combat pesticides.

Proof of MAXTRA PRO cartridge efficiency?

The entire filtering process, as well as the quality of BRITA products, is tested both in BRITA's own laboratories and by organizations such as the famous TÜV SÜD, which certified that BRITA products comply with European food industry standards.

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

How exactly does the water purification process work?

Simple! Through a relatively quick but thorough process, using the 4 basic components of the MAXTRA PRO cartridge.

1. The first mesh stops coarse particles from passing through;
2. Micro carbon granules derived from coconut reduce chlorine and other organic substances that may affect taste and smell;
3. Ion-exchange resin retains metals and significantly reduces limescale deposits.
4. For a final filtration, the water passes through a final mesh that traps even the finest unwanted particles, being 4 times more efficient compared to MAXTRA+.
5. The water is ready for consumption!

*BRITA filters are designed to be used only for filtering tap water (note: if regularly tested and declared potable) or water from private suppliers declared potable.
