There was a time when I believed bottled water was the only way to guarantee clean, great-tasting water. I spent a small fortune each month hauling bulky plastic bottles from the supermarket, stacking them in my kitchen like a mini water depot. My intentions were good—give my family the best. But over time, the costs piled up, and the environmental guilt weighed even heavier.
That’s when I discovered the BRITA MAXTRA PRO All-in-1 Water Filter Cartridge (now called Pure Performance)—and honestly, our life hasn’t been the same since.
The Awakening: Why Tap Water Felt Like a Gamble
Every evening after dinner, my husband would grumble while drinking tap water. “It tastes weird again,” he’d say, nose crinkled. Sometimes it tasted metallic; other times, it was just… off. No amount of filtering with cheap pitchers or boiling seemed to make a difference.
When our daughter started refusing to drink water altogether—preferring sugary juices instead—I knew we had to act. Good hydration is essential, especially for kids, but how could I blame her when even I didn’t enjoy our tap water?
I started researching high-quality water filter solutions and stumbled upon glowing reviews for the BRITA MAXTRA PRO All-in-1 Water Filter Cartridges. They claimed to reduce chlorine, PFAS, pesticides, impurities, and limescale, making tap water taste pure, soft, and refreshing.
It sounded almost too good to be true. But the customer reviews spoke volumes—over 11,000 positive ratings—and the fact that BRITA has been a trusted brand since 1966 gave me confidence.
It was time to change the way we hydrated.
The Arrival of the BRITA MAXTRA PRO Pure Performance Water Filters
When the sleek white box of BRITA MAXTRA PRO cartridges arrived (a 6-pack, enough for months of fresh water), it felt like Christmas morning.
Each filter was compact, lightweight (just 0.11kg), and reassuringly well-made, boasting CE-certified quality. I loved that BRITA used 50% bio-based materials for the lid and barrel, and that the cartridges were 99% recyclable—a big win for our eco-conscious family!
I carefully inserted the new Pure Performance filter into our BRITA jug and filled it with tap water. As the water slowly filtered through, I couldn’t help but wonder: could it really taste that different?
The First Sip: Love at First Taste
Later that evening, I handed my daughter a glass of the newly filtered water. She took a hesitant sip… and smiled.
“It tastes like the water we get at grandma’s!” she exclaimed, before gulping it down and asking for more.
I tried it next—and my jaw nearly dropped. No strange aftertaste. No chlorine smell. Just pure, clean, delicious water.
The BRITA MAXTRA PRO filter had worked its magic, removing chlorine, micro-impurities like PFAS and pesticides, and even filtering out tiny particles (≥30 microns) that I never even realized were there before.
It wasn’t just better—it was life-changing.
How the BRITA MAXTRA PRO Made Our Lives Easier
1. Saving Money and Reducing Plastic Waste
Before switching to BRITA MAXTRA PRO, we were spending over £60 a month on bottled water. Now, each cartridge lasts up to 150L (about 4 weeks for a family of four), replacing up to 150 plastic bottles.
Not only is it kinder to our wallets, but knowing we’re reducing our plastic footprint makes every sip feel even better.
2. Enjoying Better Tasting Food and Beverages
It wasn’t just our drinking water that improved. Cooking rice, pasta, soups, and even brewing coffee with BRITA filtered water has elevated the flavors significantly. There’s no chemical taste interfering with our meals anymore—just pure ingredients shining through.
3. Protecting Appliances from Limescale
Living in a hard water area meant our kettle and coffee machine often suffered from limescale buildup. But since using the BRITA MAXTRA PRO filters, I’ve noticed a dramatic decrease in limescale deposits. Appliances last longer and work better, saving even more money on maintenance and replacements.
