Cleaner-tasting water - with coconut shell activated carbon
Coconut shell activated carbon adsorbs chlorine and odour molecules while trapping copper, rust and large particles; the porous carbon matrix targets limescale precursors. Independent third-party testing underpins the contaminant reduction claims.
Improved flavour and reduced off-odours make tap water more pleasant for drinking and cooking after the priming routine.
Wide compatibility - with Brita Maxtra+ and many common jugs
Designed to fit Brita Maxtra+ cartridges and many Brita jugs including Marella, Style, Elemaris XL, Aluna and Mavea Elemaris, plus Amazon Basics, Philips, Dafi and Aquaphor pitchers. A small blue valve is included where required to secure the fit.
Works in a broad range of pitchers so replacement is straightforward for many households, but check the compatibility list and the blue valve before buying.
Certified safety and materials - thanks to TÜV SÜD and NSF certifications
Tested and certified by TÜV SÜD for food-grade safety and by NSF International to NSF/ANSI 42 (chlorine reduction) and NSF/ANSI 372 (low lead content). Cartridges are made from BPA-free, lead-free, food-grade materials.
Gives reassurance for everyday drinking water use through recognised safety standards and low-lead construction.
