Filtering jug BRITA Aluna 2.4 L Maxtra PRO (white)

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

- Transparent plastic carafe, total capacity 2.4 l, filtered water capacity 1.4 l;
- Special funnel for the filter, made of BPA-free plastic (Bisphenol A);
- Filter cartridge, type MAXTRA PRO able to filter approximately 150 l of tap water;
- Plastic cap, with Memo indicator for changing the filter cartridge.

Why BRITA filter jugs?

These innovative filtering jugs are a practical, convenient, and eco-friendly method to keep yourself hydrated without the need to constantly carry traditional bottled water. Unlike plastic bottles that are not environmentally friendly due to being difficult to degrade, BRITA jugs are used for the long term, requiring only the simple replacement of filter cartridges.

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

The carafe and funnel are dishwasher safe, except for the cap, which should be manually cleaned.

Cartridge Replacement Indicator

The filtering jug "Aluna" is equipped with a warning system for changing the Memo type cartridge, positioned on the cap. Easy to notice and set, this is an AUTOMATIC indicator.
How does it work? It monitors the water filtering process and displays the remaining operating life 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 light up alternately 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, each week, one bar will disappear from the display, indicating the remaining lifespan.

Replacing the MAXTRA PRO Filter Cartridge

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

MAXTRA PRO Technology

The jug is equipped with a BRITA MAXTRA PRO filter cartridge, an improved version of the original MAXTRA.
The innovative filtering technology "MicroFlow" of the MAXTRA PRO cartridges used in BRITA filtering jugs ensures optimal results every time, 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 PRO. By using filtered water, lime scale will not accumulate on appliances, thus prolonging their life.

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

Comparing with previous versions of BRITA cartridges, MAXTRA PRO has a 4 times more efficient final filtration mesh compared to MAXTRA+; tap water will first pass through a larger sieve in the first stage for an initial purification, initially retaining coarse particles, and finally, it will be filtered again, passing through a much finer sieve.

The "Micro Carbon" active carbon particles efficiently and rapidly remove organic impurities that affect the taste and smell. At the same time, the ion exchange resin reduces the level of lime scale and metals such as copper and lead. The excellent performance of BRITA jugs and the impeccable taste of filtered water are mainly due to these particles.

Activated charcoal, obtained from coconut shell, in a compact form, can filter a larger quantity of water more efficiently. The micro-pores of the charcoal particles capture unwanted substances, even battling against pesticides.

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

Proof of the efficiency of MAXTRA PRO cartridges?

The entire water filtration process, as well as the quality of BRITA products, are tested both in their own laboratories and by organizations like the renowned TÜV SÜD, which has certified that BRITA products comply with European standards in the food industry.

How does the water purification process actually take place?

Simple! Through a relatively rapid process, yet not at all superficial, using the four basic components of the MAXTRA PRO cartridge.

1. The first filter stops the penetration of impurities;
2. The "Micro Carbon" particles from coconut shell eliminate chlorine and other organic substances that can affect the taste and smell of the beverage;
3. The ion exchange resin retains metals and reduces limestone deposits;
4. For a final filtration, the water passes through a final filter that retains even the finest unwanted particles, being 4 times more efficient compared to MAXTRA+.
5. The water is ready to be consumed!
