Filtering jug BRITA Style XL 3.6 L Maxtra PRO (grey)

Water filtering jug "Style" produced by BRITA, composed of:

- Transparent plastic jug, total capacity 3.6 l, filtered water capacity 2.3 l;
- Special plastic funnel for the filter, BPA-free (Bisphenol A);
- Filtering cartridge, MAXTRA PRO type, which can filter approximately 150 l of tap water;
- Plastic cap with LED indicator for changing the filtering cartridge.

Why BRITA filter jugs?

These innovative filter jugs are a practical, convenient, and eco-friendly method to keep yourself hydrated without the need to constantly carry classic bottled water. Unlike environmentally unfriendly and slow-to-degrade plastic bottles, BRITA jugs are used for the long term, requiring only the simple replacement of the filtering cartridges.

With their help, you can enjoy the authentic taste of water, which, once filtered, will be much clearer, and impurities will be reduced.

Due to their size and compact shape, the jugs are perfect for storage on the refrigerator shelf, and thanks to their elegant design, they will look impeccable when placed on tables.

The jug and funnel can be washed in the dishwasher, except for the cap, which should be cleaned manually.

Filter cartridge change indicator

The "Style" filtering jug is equipped with a filter change warning system with an LED indicator, positioned on the cap. This system is unique among BRITA jugs, being equipped only with the new "Style" models. Called "Smart Light," this system monitors the remaining lifespan of the MAXTRA PRO cartridge and alerts the consumer by changing the colour from green to yellow and red.

To activate the monitoring system, press the LED button for approximately 5 seconds, during which the green LED will alternately light up 3 times. Every time the "Style" filtering jug is used, the green light will turn on; when the green light is replaced with yellow during use, you'll know it's time to replace the MAXTRA PRO filtering cartridge.

If the warning light turns red, the filtering capacity of the cartridge has expired entirely (the recommended amount of water has already been filtered).

Replacing the MAXTRA PRO filter cartridge

For a daily consumption of 2 l of water per person and to achieve optimal results each time, we recommend replacing the MAXTRA PRO cartridge every 4 weeks or at 150 l of filtered water. After the recommended period has expired, remove the cap of the filtering jug, carefully remove the funnel, then, holding the cartridge on both sides, pull it upwards.
The new ergonomic shape of the MAXTRA PRO cartridges allows for easy removal and replacement.

MAXTRA PRO Technology

The jug is equipped with the BRITA MAXTRA PRO filter cartridge, an improved version of the original MAXTRA+. The innovative "MicroFlow" filtration technology of the MAXTRA PRO cartridges used in BRITA filter jugs ensures optimal results every time, and their performance is the result of 5 years of research in BRITA laboratories in Germany. The taste of tea and coffee, whether hot or cold, will be visibly improved once the water used for them has been filtered with MAXTRA PRO. Using filtered water, limescale will not deposit on appliances, thus extending their life.

MAXTRA PRO offers an economical and environmentally friendly alternative for tap water consumption, as the cartridges are 100% recyclable.

Compared to previous versions of BRITA cartridges, MAXTRA PRO has a final filter 4 times more efficient than the MAXTRA PRO filter; tap water will pass through a larger filter in the first stage for initial purification, first retaining coarse particles, and at the end, it will be filtered again, passing through a much finer filter.

The "Micro Carbon" active carbon particle formula efficiently and quickly removes organic impurities that affect the taste and odour. At the same time, the ion-exchange resin reduces the level of limescale and metals such as copper and lead. The outstanding performance of BRITA jugs and the impeccable taste of filtered water are mainly due to these particles.

Activated carbon, obtained from coconut shell, presented in a compact form, can filter a larger amount of water more efficiently. The micro-pores of the carbon particles capture unwanted substances, even in the fight against pesticides.

*BRITA filters are designed to be used only for filtering tap water (note: if the water is regularly checked and declared potable) or for filtering water from private suppliers that has been declared potable.

Evidence of the effectiveness of MAXTRA PRO cartridges?

The entire filtering process, as well as the quality of BRITA products, are tested both in their laboratories and by organizations such as the famous TÜV SÜD, which has certified that BRITA products comply with European standards in the food industry.

How does the water purification process actually work?

Simple! Through a relatively rapid process, but not superficial, with the help of the 4 basic components of the MAXTRA PRO cartridge.

1. The first filter prevents the entry of impurities;
2. The "Micro Carbon" particles generated from coconut remove chlorine and other organic substances that can affect the taste and smell of the drink;
3. Ion-exchange resin retains metals and reduces limescale deposits.
4. For a final filtration, water passes through a final filter that retains even the finest unwanted particles, being 4 times more efficient compared to MAXTRA PRO.
5. The water is ready to be consumed!
