About BRITA filter cartridges

BRITA's current jug cartridge is MAXTRA PRO, in two versions: Pure Performance (All-in-1) for soft to hard water and Limescale Expert for hard water; it replaces the older MAXTRA+ and fits all BRITA jugs, including PerfectFit models. BRITA says to change it every 150 litres or four weeks, whichever comes first. Jugs track this with a BRITA MEMO button, METER or Smart Light indicator.
