Maxtra Filtration

Maxtra offers an advanced filtration technology that works in four steps:

1. Intensive Pre-Filtration
2. Ion Exchange Filtration
3. Activated Carbon Filtration
4. Intensive Final Filtration

The Maxtra Filtration contributes to a +20% improved limescale reduction vs. BRITA Classic*

Step 1
Intensive Pre-Filtration
In a first step the water flows through a fine mesh filter. This is the pre-filtration. The mesh retains particles, which are present in the tap water.

Step 2
Ion Exchange Filtration
The ion exchange resin comes into action! It reduces the carbonate hardness, which causes limescale that affects the water quality and leads to a limescale build up in your household appliances. Also, levels of metals such as copper and lead are significantly reduced.

Step 3
Activated Carbon Filtration
The granulated activated carbon is another step in the BRITA water filtration. It significantly reduces substances that affect smell and taste of your tap water such as chlorine, certain pesticides and organic impurities.

Step 4
Intensive Final Filtration
In the fourth and last step a special fine mesh filter retains the particle mixture.
