BRITA water filters provide an easy but highly effective way to have clean, filtered water at home, straight from the tap. With a BRITA filter, you can provide the whole household with great tasting filtered water by reducing a number of impurities that exist in our tap water.

There are a range of filters from BRITA, and we thought we'd share how they work.

How does the BRITA MAXTRA PRO filter work?

The MAXTRA PRO is BRITA's new generation of water filtration. It utilises an innovative four-stage filtration with natural activated carbon from coconut shells, ion exchanges pearls and micro-mesh. This reduces metals such as lead and copper and taste-impairing chlorine and chlorine compounds.

In addition, they also ensure reliable protection from limescale build-up by reducing carbonate hardness of the water (calcium and magnesium ions) in the mains water. This is particularly important for certain areas of Australia and New Zealand where hard water is present.

How does the MicroDisc filter work?

The BRITA MicroDisc is a slim disc that fits into BRITA water bottles and carafes. The MicroDisc is made using compressed, natural, activated carbon from coconut shells, with a fleece covering on both sides for optimal filtration. Using ActivSelect technology, the filters remove undesirable extras that can come through our tap water. Importantly, the MicroDisc keeps in important minerals like calcium and magnesium, so you can have great tasting water.

How does the On Tap Filter work?

The BRITA On Tap Filter works with the On Tap System to filter your water, straight from the kitchen tap.

The filter works by using activated carbon pearls to reduce any impurities that affect taste and odour, such as chlorine or certain herbicides, pesticides, hormones, and pharmaceutical residues that may be present in tap water. The Ion Exchange fibre reduces metals like lead and copper. Finally, the hollow fibre membrane reduces microplastics, and 99.99% of bacteria, should there be any bacteria present in the water.

The On Tap System is increasingly popular, as you can install the system easily and without any tools, and equally easily detach it from your tap. You can switch filtered water on and off as you prefer, so there is no wastage. The On Tap offers great convenience, and is especially suitable for renters.

How often do you have to replace a BRITA filter?

BRITA MAXTRA PRO and MicroDisc filters must be replaced each month, so you can have peace of mind that your BRITA jug or BRITA bottle is in peak operating form.

When did you last replace your filter? If you can’t remember, then it’s been too long.
