"Flow"water filter container,BRITAbrand, consisting of:

- transparentplasticcontainer, total capacity8.2 l,filtered water capacity5.2 l;
- special filter funnel, made ofBPA-freeplastic (Bisphenol A);
-1filter cartridge,MAXTRA PROtype with which you can filter about150 l of tap water;
- plastic cover, withMemotype indicator for changing the filter cartridge.

This container is equipped with atapfor accurate and effortless water pouring. Its design was conceived to fit in the refrigerator (measuring22 x 21 x 31 cm)and can be easily disassembled for cleaning.

Why BRITA filtering products?

These innovative filter containers a practical, convenient and environmentally friendly way to keep you permanently hydrated without having to constantly carry classic bottles of bottled water. Unlike non-environmentally friendly plastic bottles and that are difficult to degrade,BRITAcontainers are used for a long time, requiring only a simple replacement of the filter cartridges.

Cartridge change indicator

TheFlowfilter container is provided with a warning system for changing theMemotypecartridge, placed on the cover. This indicator easy to watch and set is anAUTOMATICone.
How does it work? The indicator monitors water filtration process and displays the remaining operating time of theMAXTRA PROcartridge. After inserting theMAXTRA PROcartridge, press and hold theSTARTbutton for a fewseconds, until the 4 lines are displayed on the screen and will flash alternately twice. Each line represents one of the four weeks in which theMAXTRA PROcartridge can be used with maximum performance. During the use of theMAXTRA PROfilter cartridge every week, onelinewill disappear from the display, indicating the remaining service life.

MAXTRA PROfiltering cartridge replacement

For a consumption of2 lof water per person per day and to obtain optimal results every time, we recommend replacing theMAXTRA PROcartridgeevery4 weeksor150 lof filtered water.After the recommended time has expired, remove the filtering container lid, carefully remove the funnel, then, holding firmly the cartridge on either side, pull it up.
The new ergonomic shape of theMAXTRA PROcartridges allows easy removal and replacement.

MAXTRA PROtechnology

This container is fitted with theBRITA MAXTRA PROfilter cartridge, an improved version of the originalMAXTRA+version.
The innovative"MicroFlow"filtration technology ofMAXTRA PROcartridges with whichBRITAfiltering containers are provided, always ensures optimal results, their performance being the result of 5 years of research inBRITAlaboratories 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 withMAXTRA PRO.Using filtered water, limescale will no longer build up on the appliances and their service life will be prolonged.

MAXTRA PROprovidesan economical alternative and not at all harmful for environment, to tap water consumption, the cartridges being100% recyclable.

Compared to previous versions ofBRITAcartridges,MAXTRA PROhas a4 times more efficientfinal filter sieve compared to theMAXTRA+filter. The tap water will first be passed through alarger sieve for initial purification, first retaining coarse particlesand then filtered again through a much finer sieve.

The formula of"Micro Carbon"activated carbon particles removes more efficiently and faster, the organic impurities that impair water taste and odor.At the same time, the ion exchange resin reduces levels of limescale and metals such as copper and lead. The viable results of BRITA water filter cartridges and the impeccable taste of filtered water are mainly due to these particles.

Activated carbon,obtained from coconut shells, now present in an even more compact form than previous versions of filter cartridges, can filter more water more efficiently. The micro-pores of the carbon particles trap unwanted substances, even fighting off pesticides.

*BRITAfilterswere designed to be used only for filtering tap water (note: if water is checked regularly and has been declared drinkable) or for filtering water that comes from private suppliers and has been declared drinkable.

Proof ofMAXTRA PROcartridge efficiency?

The entire filtration process, as well as the quality ofBRITAproducts are tested both in their own laboratories and by organizations such as the famousTÜV SÜD,which has certified thatBRITAproducts comply with European standards in the food industry.

How is water purification process actually carried out?

Simple! Through a relatively fast process, but not at all superficial,using the 4 basic components of theMAXTRA PROcartridge.

1.The first sieve prevents impurities from entering in the filter;
2."Micro Carbon"particles from coconutremove chlorine and other organicsubstances that can impair the taste and odor of drink;
3.Ion exchange resin retains metals and reduces limescale deposits.
4.Water is passed, for the final filtration, through a final sieve that retains even the finest unwanted particles,being 4 times more efficient thanMAXTRA+.
5.Water is ready to be consumed!
