When I lived in Michigan we had amazing tap water but now I love using our Brita Marella water filter. Do you use water filters, or is your tap water naturally delicious?! 😀

You mentioned keeping the filtered water in the refrigerator but I read to not leave the jug full of water and to pour it into another container. How long can the jug fit empty between refills? And do you have to resoak the filter each time?

You dont have to keep the jug in a refrigerator. It can be left on a counter as so long the room temperature is between 12-17 degrees Fahrenheit. Also remember to not only replace the filter monthly but also (warm soap or use lemon) to wash the inside of the jug.

Thank you for adding this info! I personally refrigerate mine because this is what the user manual says: “We recommend that you store your Brita system in the refrigerator to get cold, great-tasting water” but I googled it before I made this video and found people complaining that they left theirs on the counter and it grew mold. So I preferred to recommend to just follow the manual 😅 Also totally agree about washing between each filter like I show on the video - this *entire* process needs to be followed every single time the filter is changed. It’s easy to be a bit lazy but it’s not worth neglecting it and getting sick...!!

Have you also done a video with the new lid that has a lid with a light system instead of the 4 bars?

Thanks 😊 ❤ great video!

Does the filter need to be soaked with warm water? Or cold tap water would be fine?

Can you fill it up to the top or past the filter? Or does the water always need to be below the filter? There is no max line on my jug

Does the filter deteriorate in quality regardless of how much or how little you use it? So for argument sake, if I put in a new filter, start the timer for 100%, and then not use it at all for 4 weeks, is it still safe?

So run it Twice for all the filets replacement? For all brita? I just got brita jar

Ooh good idea, I will try to film a quick one on it. In the meantime I would advice that you take the filter cartridge out, then use hot and soapy water with a non-abrasive sponge to wash it. Then be sure to rinse away all the soap and then you're ready to go again once you insert the new filter cartridge ☺️

Is it normal to see small black particles in the water? I tried 2 filters same issue, is that normal?

Very helpful, thank you

I have just ordered one from Amazon. I was just going to follow the video that was on Amazon but it just shows how to put the filter in and then how to fill up with water. It doesn't show like your video, the need to soak the cartridge for two minutes and let water filter through twice before using, something I probably wouldn't have done had I not seen your video. Thank you so very much.

Does it filter calcium and magnesium which is peresnt in tap water...... whenever i boil water for drinking I saw white sediments settle down I am afraid it will cause kidney stone

@veronicataylorsfp

My water has an extremely strong metallic taste but after I put it through the Brita filter, it tastes "neutral" or like just regular plain water. If you are still having a very strong taste in your water even after using the filter, then I think you should look up the water quality in your area. In the U.K. you can google this and get a detailed report for the area you live in, but not sure if this is available everywhere. Here, they make all the info public as to the % of all minerals, how hard your water is etc

Is that normal that some water is around the filter all the time and should I remove it every time? Lol just got mine yesterday and tap in London comparing to tap from this jug taste much better

@veronicataylorsfp

3 жыл бұрын

Yes it’s normal apparently! We checked (and there’s another commenter who even contacted Brita to ask lol). Every time you refill the jug, that little bit of water is automatically filtered through so it’s only there for as long as you take between adding more water! You’re so right though the water with this jug is so much better - it doesn’t have any flavor, which is just how water should be ...!!

Thank you!!!

does anyone have same issue? when water is filtered there are remains between filter and the box in the space where filter is not fully attached to the box. I got advise from Brita reseller that every evening I should remove filter and spill out remaining water as it could spoil being there for few days. stupid advise right as I expected that once I install filter I will remove it after month when replacing for new one.

Hi - I'm surprised Brita said to do this every evening. In my experience (and a few other people have commented the same), this is normal and is just part of the Brita design. My filter has a little gap just like you describe and everything I've read about it suggests that that is totally normal!

Thank you for that

When it’s ready to use can we fill the jug capacity all the way or just one filter-reservoir worth?

@veronicataylorsfp

3 жыл бұрын

I was wondering the same thing and literally spent an hour googling it. The Brita website says "fill to the max line" but I don't see a max fill line on it anywhere... So, I fill the top filter once, let the water filter through, then fill the top part again. I believe this is ok because the product description says this: "1.4 Litre filtered water capacity, 2.4 Litre total capacity" so I think the idea is you filter it once, and then you fill the top part so that it automatically re-fills the bottom filtered part as you drink it. Hope this helps!
