help Brita Filter Cartridge (Replacement) FAQ
How often should I replace my Brita filter cartridge?
Brita recommends replacing standard filter cartridges every 40 gallons of water, or approximately every two months for an average household. Using the electronic filter indicator on the pitcher can help you track exactly when it is time for a replacement.
Do Brita replacement filters effectively remove lead from tap water?
Standard Brita filters do not remove lead, though their Longlast and Elite filter cartridges are certified to remove 99% of it. If lead reduction is your primary goal, you must ensure you are buying the specific Longlast models.
How do I properly prepare a new Brita filter before installing it?
You must hand-rinse the new filter under cold water for 15 seconds and then soak it in water for 10 to 15 minutes. After soaking, insert it into the reservoir and run three batches of water through it to activate the carbon.
Will generic replacement filters fit inside a standard Brita pitcher?
Yes, many generic brands manufacture filters specifically designed to be cross-compatible with standard Brita pitchers. However, using off-brand filters might void your pitcher's warranty or result in slightly slower filtration speeds.
