Water quality plays a huge role in the modern world. Unfortunately, not in every region the water from the central water supply has the necessary qualities for human consumption. In this case, it is preferable to use water filters. Brita is one of the key manufacturers of such equipment. How to use it, as well as the advantages and disadvantages of a purification system.
Varieties of filter modifications
The German company for the production of water filters "Brita" is distinguished by the high quality and durability of its equipment. Today, there are several types of water treatment equipment:
- filter bottle;
- filter jug;
- cooler with filter;
- cleaning cartridges.
Ordinary is the sales leader among all those produced by Brita. This is due to ease of use, as well as relatively inexpensive cost. Its main task is to make water softer and more palatable.
The “Brita” filter in the form of a jug is designed as follows: when the liquid passes through the cationic cartridge, the hardness salts are attracted to the cationic resin, which, in turn, fills the water with sodium ions. The result is tasty and soft drinking water.
Instructions for use
In order for the Brita filter jug to last as long as possible, it is recommended to adhere to the following rules of use:
- The manufacturer recommends keeping the Brita Maxtra replacement cartridge submerged in water at all times to maintain all cleaning properties.
- The average amount of water that one cartridge can clean is 100 liters. This indicator directly depends on the quality of the source material, for example, for softer water it will be about 150 liters per month.
- The manufacturing company recommends at least 1 time per month for hygienic purposes.
- You can check the performance with ordinary tea. It must be brewed in filtered water and pay attention to the surface of the liquid. If it becomes covered with a film, as when using untreated tap water, then the cartridge must be replaced.

6. If the cartridge is still dry, you must also soak it in water.
It is important to remember that Brita Maxtra replacement cartridges and others are only suitable for use in cold water. Attempting to purify hot water will cause the ion exchanger that saturates the water to fail.
Features of the Brita filters
In the modern world, speed is important, so the manufacturer made sure that the user gets a liter of clean water in 6 minutes. At the same time, without loss of quality, the Brita filter is able to purify up to 10 liters of water per day, which is quite enough for the needs of a family of 3-4 people.
The shelf life of the replacement cartridge is 4 years without damage to the sealed packaging. At the same time, throughout the entire period, it remains usable and does not lose its positive qualities.

In steam irons, it is better to use BRITA filtered water rather than tap water to reduce limescale build-up. However, the manufacturers of most steam irons (with aluminum soleplate) recommend the use of demineralized water to ensure optimal performance of the iron. Filtered water is ideal for irons with chrome steel soleplates. If you are not sure which type of iron you have, please refer to the instruction manual or contact the iron manufacturer.

There are four types of jugs in the firm:
— BRITA Navelia;
— BRITA Elemaris;
- BRITA Aluna;
— Brita Marella.
Let's take a closer look at a couple of representatives.
Brita Aluna XL filter jugs
The plastic device will become just an indispensable assistant in your kitchen. Benefits of these jugs:
— improvement of palatability of hot and cold drinks;
— lack of a scum and increase in service life;
- the food is tasty and healthy;

Maxtra is a special technology that reduces the content of harmful substances in water, including chlorine, heavy metals and pesticides. Hardness salts are effectively filtered out. The jug has a mechanical resource counter that will remind you that you will have to replace the cartridge every four weeks. The design of the jug is ergonomic, with the lid removed it is allowed to wash in the dishwasher. The capacity of the jug is large enough, and it is convenient for a large family.
Marella XL MAXTRA water filter
The device works with a high content of aluminum, lead and copper, even with organic impurities. Hard water softens to a drinkable state. Thanks to the design with anti-scale action, household appliances last longer. The automatic cassette replacement calendar is set. New Brita works with a four-stage filtration system. The capacious jug is dishwasher safe, only the lid is removed. One handle is very comfortable, the lid is hinged.
Brita Maxtra - a replacement filter cartridge for brit water
Single cartridge filters water in four steps and reduces water hardness by about 20%. The cartridges contain ion exchange resins and activated carbon.
- first passes, the filter has a small cell on the grid;
- ion-exchange filtration, ion-exchange resins take part in the work, they reduce hardness and remove aluminum, copper, etc .;
- activated carbon and filtration through it. Activated carbon helps remove odor, taste and other organic impurities;
- the last stage provides for intensive filtration, where a special mesh traps a variety of impurities.
At the outlet, the water is clean and has no impurities at all, it is transparent and suitable for preparing various drinks. To start using the cartridge, it must be placed in a container with water and shake it so that the remaining coal and dust are washed away and do not fall into the purified water. The cartridges are inserted into the jug and snap into place tightly. In order for the filter to be ready for use, it must be filled a couple of times and drained. There is a foil inside the cartridge, which can be periodically dry.
The cartridge has a certain expiration date, the factory packaging is designed for a period of four years. Storage of the water cartridge is recommended at a temperature of 1-50 degrees, humidity should not be less than 50%. Brita filters must not be exposed to direct sunlight or heat. Only regular replacement of the cartridge ensures high-quality water filtration. The resource is determined by the composition of the water, in the case of hardness components of 12 -14.5 ° EH, the cassette is changed every hundred liters. The harder the water, the more it is required, which means that the resource is reduced. The replacement of the cartridge is carried out in order to ensure the quality of the device.
It often happens that activated carbon gets into the water when the filter has not yet been completely washed. Coconut shell is represented by activated carbon granules. A natural product can be of different quality, and so is the natural shell. Be sure to read the instructions for use. Cartridges, like jugs, have been fully tested and correspond to the highest quality, they do not harm health.
If you have to leave the water cartridge and not use it for some time, for example, you are going to the sea, it is recommended to disconnect the filter from the device. Place it in the refrigerator, run water through it and continue to use. It is also very important to remember that the filter does not remove fluorine, which is present in a small amount in the cartridge.
Considering the filtration process with Brita filters, it is possible to pass water through a replaceable cassette in about a liter of water in 1.5 minutes. The more liquid is passed through the cassette, the dirtier it becomes and, therefore, more time is required for filtration. The filter should always be in the water, which means that there will always be clean filtered water at hand in a volume depending on the volume of the container.
Let's do a little testing on tea to find out whether the cartridge resource has been exhausted or not. Let's take plain water, not purified by a filter, directly from the water supply network. The drink will turn cloudy and will have a slightly bitter taste. A metal film will be cast on the surface, which, after drinking, will surely settle on the walls of the mug in the form of a brown precipitate. With water from the Brita filter, the liquid will be fragrant, without bitterness and film, the walls will be absolutely clean. If a film with water from the filter began to appear, it means that the resource has been exhausted and you will have to think about replacing the cartridge.
