Brita MAXTRA PRO ALL-IN-1 Water Filter Cartridge Instruction Manual

1. Introduction and Overview

The Brita MAXTRA PRO ALL-IN-1 water filter cartridges are designed to provide delicious, pure water for everyday use. These advanced filters effectively remove odor and taste-disrupting substances such as chlorine, as well as fine particles and contaminants including PFAS, heavy metals, herbicides, pesticides, and pharmaceuticals. The result is softer, cleaner, and tastier water, ideal for drinking and cooking.

MAXTRA PRO filters are manufactured with sustainability in mind, utilizing 50% bio-based materials and offering 99% recyclability. Each filter has an increased capacity of 150 liters, or approximately 4 weeks of use, helping to reduce plastic waste from bottled water. The PerfectFit system ensures optimal performance and compatibility with all Brita water filter jugs and the Brita Flow system. Additionally, these filters protect your household appliances by reducing limescale, thereby extending the lifespan of devices like kettles and coffee makers.

• Filling: Pour tap water into the funnel of your Brita jug. The water will slowly pass through the filter into the main reservoir.
• Filter Capacity: Each MAXTRA PRO ALL-IN-1 filter cartridge has a capacity of approximately 150 liters of filtered water. For optimal performance and hygiene, it is recommended to replace the filter every 4 weeks, regardless of the volume filtered.

4. Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures the best performance and longevity of your Brita water filter system.

• Filter Replacement: Replace the MAXTRA PRO ALL-IN-1 filter cartridge every 4 weeks or after filtering 150 liters of water, whichever comes first. This ensures consistent water quality and prevents potential bacterial growth.
• Cleaning the Jug: Regularly clean your Brita water filter jug according to its specific instructions. Most jugs are dishwasher-safe (excluding the lid with the electronic indicator).
• Disposal and Recycling: Brita MAXTRA PRO filters are 99% recyclable. Please dispose of used filters at designated recycling points or through Brita's recycling programs where available. Refer to local recycling guidelines for proper disposal.

5. Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues with your Brita MAXTRA PRO ALL-IN-1 filter, consider the following:

• Slow Filtration: If water filters very slowly, remove the filter and re-insert it firmly to ensure a proper seal. If the issue persists, the filter might be clogged and may need replacement, especially if it's nearing the end of its 4-week lifespan.
• Unusual Taste/Odor: Ensure you have discarded the first two filtered fills after installing a new filter. If an unusual taste or odor persists, the filter may not be correctly seated, or it might be time for a replacement.
• Leaking: Check that the filter is correctly and firmly seated in the funnel. Ensure all parts of the jug are assembled correctly.
• Filter Change Indicator Not Working: Refer to your Brita jug's specific manual for instructions on resetting or troubleshooting the electronic filter change indicator.
