This is a really good deal from Amazon. Normally 4 Maxtra cartridges cost £16 or £17. So 12 of them might cost around the £50 mark. So this is like getting the actual filter jug for free!
For typical usage Brita say that the Maxtra cartidges should last for four weeks. So this jug and filter combo should be all you need for an entire year.
Remember – postage is free.

No need to panic. These are just small fragments of carbon which have escaped from the filter. They can be caused by rubbing of the carbon particles during transport and general handling. It’s quite normal.
That’s why Brita recommend that the first two fillings shouldn’t be used – although, if you did use them it still wouldn’t be a major problem. The contents of the Brita cartridges are food grade quality and will do you no harm whatsoever – the taste might not be as pleasant as you’d wish for, that’s all.
Soak the cartridge thoroughly when you first use it and shake it whilst immersed under water. That’ll encourage any loose carbon particles to be released and will help to avoid any further carbon particles being released during the useful lifetime of your cartridge.

Jug type filters are a very good and economical way to get clean, great tasting water straight from your tap. Brita certainly have expanded their range and they now have a good choice of water jug filters that are functional, practical, economical and pleasing to the eye. Prices for these can vary enormously – this “Fjord” filter could cost you up to £25 in certain shops. The option of buying from Amazon is pretty good right now – especially if you get the free home delivery.

Brita filter jugs are great. They make ordinary tap water tast so much beter and get rid of any potentially harmful contaminants. It’s a lot easier than lugging bottles of water back from the supermarket and – as long as you’ve got an active filter and access to a tap – you’ll never run out of fresh water.
The only minor problem is that the replacement filters can be a little pricey. Cheaper than buying bottled water for sure, but the prices seem to vary enormously from one shop to the next.
It really is worth shopping around, but it can be a pain going from one shop to another. One consistently cheap source that I have found is Amazon. You can buy them online and have them delivered direct to your door. Shipping on qualifying orders is free – all you need to do is spend more than £5. It does take a couple of days longer (but don’t forget it’s free). Still, if you’re in a hurry you can opt for standard, or even express, delivery.
