Both the BRITA MAXTRA and BRITA MicroDisc have been designed for quick, easy installation.

BRITA MAXTRA water filter:

Simply fill a jug or bowl with water. Immerse the BRITA MAXTRA water filter in cold water and shake gently to remove any air bubbles. Insert the water filter into the jug’s funnel and run water through the filter twice. After discarding the first two litres, your BRITA water filter is ready for use.

BRITA MicroDisc:

Before using the MicroDisc for the first time, place it under running water and lightly rub both sides with your fingers for approx. 30 seconds. This effectively removes any loose carbon dust that may be present.

To meet your personal water needs even more individually, BRITA has developed two different water filters.

The MAXTRA PRO PURE PERFORMANCE water filter is recommended for soft and hard water areas and offers the best taste experience. It effectively reduces chlorine, herbicides, pesticides and pharmaceutical residues, if present in the water. It reduces metals such as lead and copper, as well as particles from pipes. It moderately reduces water hardness and is ideal for your daily hydration.

The MAXTRA PRO LIMESCALE EXPERT is recommended for hard and very hard water areas and offers the ultimate limescale protection. It provides 50 % better limescale reduction compared to the MAXTRA PRO PURE PERFORMANCE water filter and protects your kettle and coffee maker from limescale build-up. It retains particles from the pipes, reduces chlorine and substances that affect the taste, look and smell of your tap water. Your tea and coffee will therefore have a fuller flavour.

It is only possible to filter cold water between 5°C and 23°C. Otherwise the water filter cartridge and/or its various parts could be damaged.

No. The ON TAP (Pro) water filter contains a special ion exchange fleece that filters heavy metals such as lead. Limescale, on the other hand, is not filtered.

The BRITA LARQ filter features activated carbon, a blend of granulated carbon and carbon fiber, which effectively reduces PFAS *, chlorine, and trace impurities such as certain pesticides, herbicides, and hormones ** ***.
