BRITAMAXTRA Water Filter Cartridges - Pack of 6

First off these are great value for money: a 12 pack breaks down as £2.49 per cartridge. Over 30 days that's 8 pence per day. To buy a 1.5 litre bottle of Volvic is about 64p from the supermarket, so that's a saving of 56p per day / £16.80 per month! Not to mention that fact that shop bought plastic bottles contain Phthalates. Although water, in and of itself, does not go bad, the plastic bottle it is contained in does "expire" and will eventually start leaching chemicals into the water. If you look at the expiry dates on bottled water, it's 2 years, so in theory that water could have been sitting on the shelf for that long! For me personally, I like cold fresh water, which I've filtered and from which I know the source. i.e. my kitchen tap! I've been using Maxtra Water Filter Cartridges for 5 years now and won't use anything else. My Brita fridge jug has also stood the test of time and is still going strong. My jug has a set timer which indicates when the cartridge needs replacing. I always make sure to give the jug a good clean each month before inserting the new cartridge. The cartridge is so easy to use. It comes in a sealed plastic bag, which is easy to open and has clear instructions. After I've cleaned the jug, I submerge the filter in water for 30 seconds to ensure it's fully soaked then insert it into the filter hole in the jug. From there I push down gently until I feel it click into place. After I add water and let it filter through, pour away then repeat twice more, close the lid, set the timer and place in the fridge to chill! That's it! Now I have fresh water for the next 30 days and at a fraction of the cost of what it would cost me to buy in the shops. The taste of the filtered water is very clean with no strange aftertaste - I often find that shop bought water has a slight metallic taste and bizarrely sometimes fails to quench my thirst. A truly great product and one that I'll continue to use for years to come. Thanks Brita for making such a quality product.

They work, and were very inexpensive, at this time

We have been using these water filters cartridges with our water jug for some time now. We used to buy them from our local supermarket until I spotted them here on Amazon - at 80% cheaper!!!!!We live in a hardwater area, and although I admit to being initially sceptical as to their use, thinking they were just another way to get me to part with money on a regular basis, I have been won over and can definitely see that they work! and we would just be buying bottles of water anyway, as our tap water isn't great - no matter what anyone says, even the cats don't like it!!The technical description is that the cartridges reduce limescale, chlorine and impurities, basically they make the water taste better and really cut down on limescale forming in the kettle! Yes, we use the filtered water in our kettle and it has really helped with the limescale, so our kettles our cleaner and lasting much longer.The recommendation is that the cartridge should be changed once a month; we get through about two full jugs of water a day, and store them in bottles in the fridge, so we always have a supplied of filtered cold water, we have found they are actually effective for upto nearly two months, obviously we use more water during the hot summer months, which is when we use about one a month. The cartridges are very easy to install.These cartridges will fit in all BRITA MAXTRA jugs, but do bear in mind you buy the right filters for the right jug (something we didn't initially do!).These filters come in a variety of pack sizes, from individual to four packs, this six pack, and eight, twelve and even twenty packs. I really like this six pack size because we'll hopefully get just about a year out of it; so basically thats about £15 for the year, not too shabby!Overall a very good product, they definitely work and do make a considerable difference to the taste of the water, your cuppa or squash will never have tasted so good!

I am genuinely surprised that I can notice a difference in the taste of filtered water as opposed to that right out the tap, but I CAN and so can my family. So big thumbs up to Brita for that, this is a fantastic product which is superb value if you keep an eye on the offers which are always available to let you stock up on 4 or 6 filters at a time for not much money.However....! I've noticed that no matter how many times I rinse the filter cartridges out before using them they ALWAYS leave little black specks of carbon in the dregs of every single batch I filter. I know they say this is harmless but it's quite unpleasant to see black stuff floating about your drink, especially when it's for your kids, so that's why I give this 4 stars instead of 5.But it's still an excellent product and everyone should be using these!

Being able to get them from you on line. They are too heavy for me to carry from the town

This product is good for clearing out the limescale in the drinking water which causes the water in our area to be very hard. It is becoming pricey as are all items in this cost of living crisis. The product lasts well, depending on the use and I am relieved to see that it is being sold in three's rather than the usual six pack which helps with budgeting.

The filter cartridge removes residues from the water, and in the UK, that means keeping your kitchen appliances free from lime scale, and improving the quality of the water we drink.

Good for hard water areas

It's worth the price. Quality is good.

Flavor & Longevity? Really? They're advertised for not having taste and for a definite period of time. They're great for that. We've used them for years. Still use them.
