Introduction
The BRITA MAXTRA PRO Pure Performance Water Filter Cartridge is engineered to transform tap water into pure, fresh-tasting drinking water. This advanced filter system effectively reduces impurities, including taste-impairing substances like chlorine, and metals such as lead and copper. It also targets micro-impurities like PFAS, certain herbicides, pesticides, and pharmaceuticals. Beyond enhancing taste, the filter helps protect your kitchen appliances from limescale buildup, offering a sustainable and economical alternative to bottled water.

Setup
Follow these steps to properly set up your new BRITA MAXTRA PRO filter cartridge:
- Unpack the Filter: Carefully remove the new MAXTRA PRO filter cartridge from its protective packaging.
- Prepare the Jug: Ensure your BRITA water filter jug is clean before inserting the new cartridge.
- Insert the Cartridge: Place the filter cartridge firmly into the funnel of your BRITA jug. Ensure it clicks securely into place to prevent unfiltered water from bypassing the filter.
- Initial Rinse: Fill the jug with tap water. Allow the water to filter through completely. For optimal performance, discard the first two filtered fillings. This primes the filter and removes any loose carbon particles.

Maintenance

- Filter Replacement: Replace your MAXTRA PRO filter cartridge approximately every 4 weeks, or after filtering 150 liters of water. Your BRITA jug may have an electronic indicator that signals when a replacement is due.
- Jug Cleaning: Periodically clean your BRITA water filter jug according to its specific cleaning instructions to maintain hygiene.
- Recycling: All BRITA cartridges are recyclable. Please visit the official BRITA website for information on their recycling program in your region.

Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues with your BRITA MAXTRA PRO filter, consider the following:
- Unpleasant Taste/Odor: If your filtered water still has an unpleasant taste or odor, ensure the filter cartridge is correctly seated in the funnel. If the issue persists, the filter may be exhausted and require replacement.
- Slow Filtration: A significantly slower filtration rate can indicate that the filter is nearing the end of its lifespan or is clogged with impurities. Replace the filter cartridge.
- Limescale Buildup: While the Pure Performance filter reduces limescale, if you live in an area with very hard water and experience significant limescale buildup in appliances, you might consider the BRITA MAXTRA PRO Limescale Expert cartridge, which offers enhanced limescale reduction.
