    12 packs, around $5.60 each. pretty good price.

    • HardQuiz on 16/10/2020 - 10:52

      Costco have them at $6.74 from time to time.

      So this deal is not bad.

    Do these filter fluoride? Cause I want my fluoride

    • drezy on 16/10/2020 - 11:04

      Do BRITA cartridges remove fluoride?
      No. BRITA cartridges are not designed to remove fluoride. Some fluoride is naturally present in tap water, whilst some water companies add fluoride to the water. If you are concerned about the presence of fluoride in your tap water, check with your local water supplier.

      • SupeNintendoChalmers on 16/10/2020 - 11:09

        On the contrary, I love safe levels of fluoride in tap water

      • G-rig on 16/10/2020 - 11:11

        fluoride isn't much to worry about.. it's the other stuff the filters remove

        +5

        Also, it's worth noting (to those who aren't aware), don't use any scourer/abrasive pad (even if it says "no scratch"!). This will only introduce small cuts in the plastic which means more surface area for bacteria to cling onto. Just use a soft cloth and soap instead.

        This applies to any plastic, like tupperware containers, too.

    • skittlebrau on 16/10/2020 - 11:14

      You’re supposed to clean your jug thoroughly with each filter change. You’re also meant to change your filter every 2-3 months. If you aren’t doing this, there’s no point in owning a filter jug.

      • RichardF89 on 16/10/2020 - 11:15
        +3

        every 2-3 months? I think it is every month

        • skittlebrau on 16/10/2020 - 11:18

          Sorry I meant 1-2 months (I couldn’t edit my comment). Their recommendation differs depending on the jug type they go into and usage pattern.

          • dubfonik on 16/10/2020 - 12:00

            @skittlebrau: I use both taste and filter time (how slow it filters) to determine when I change it.

            Doing it by time doesn't make sense - is a single person and a family of 5 both meant to change it at the same time? Of course, it means more money for Brita if you do it that way :)

              +1

              @dubfonik: The filter is predominantly ion exchange resin, so when it’s “used up” the flow rate is no different. The only thing that would significantly affect flow rate is bacterial, algae or fungal growth.

              • dubfonik on 16/10/2020 - 16:20

                @lunchbox99: interesting! well that leaves only one variable to check for now… 😊

      • peterpaoliello on 16/10/2020 - 11:55
        +2

        After far longer than that between filter changes there's still noticeable improvement in water taste which is my only objective, so I'd say there's still very much a point without the monthly replacement.

    • donotuse on 16/10/2020 - 11:16

      Yikes! Does that mean you haven’t been washing your jug in between cartridge replacements?

      • plasmapuff on 16/10/2020 - 11:19
        +1

        Just googled. Didn't knew it came apart. Was trying to clean it through that tiny hole where the water ran through :(

        Knew something was up when the water tasted the same despite new filters…

        Thanks all!

    • bio on 16/10/2020 - 12:12

      If by growth you mean mould/algae, you can just put a little bit of bleach or pool chlorine in it and fill it with water. Leave it for 15 minutes and rinse it thoroughly or put it into the dishwasher.

      • plasmapuff on 16/10/2020 - 12:41

        In the dishwasher now with the filter holding frame removed.

    Thanks OP

  • incipient on 16/10/2020 - 11:22

    They reckon these filters last 4 weeks!? Either these are significantly less durable than the last batch we got, or they're really conservative on their estimates.

    • overule on 16/10/2020 - 11:24
      +10

      I am a cheapskate so I always go by the time rather than the indicator. 2/3 months use for me for each filter. This will last me a while.

      • Turd on 16/10/2020 - 11:29

        Same! It depends on how much you use

        • CosaNoztra on 16/10/2020 - 11:42

          I usually go a good 3 months, can tell a slight difference in taste around then.

      • cheapbloke on 16/10/2020 - 11:41
        +1

        I go by taste! how long it will last will depend on your usage.

      • bio on 16/10/2020 - 12:13

        2/3 months is 5.7 weeks, marginally higher than the recommendation anyway.

        • maxvincent on 16/10/2020 - 12:36
          +1

          2 to 3 months between filters mate, haha.

      • sicinadan on 16/10/2020 - 12:36

        Same here, I only change it when the water tastes like tap water….

      • lostn on 16/10/2020 - 12:43

        most of their indicators are based on time.

    • bio on 16/10/2020 - 11:49
      +2

      I believe UK packaging states 4 weeks but they are actually the same filters. Could be something to do with the water hardness in UK, or just greedy marketing.

      • Cluster on 16/10/2020 - 12:04

        Brita tends to change its recommendation around the world. I've seen claims not to use the filters longer than 2 months. Makes sense. You don't want mold build up. Most places they claim change the cartridge every month, or 150L (100L in hard water areas).

        I'm in Adelaide so our tap water is of spectacular quality and completely chlorine free…. and I split the difference and change the cartridge every 6 weeks. Even at the 6 week mark the water tastes fine.

        • bio on 16/10/2020 - 12:07

          That might be true. In Queensland we have chlorine added to tap water though, and it should theoretically delay the mould buildup in the cartridge. It also depends on how many people drinks from the same jug. I and my wife don't taste the difference up until 8-10 weeks.

        • carlscott1982 on 16/10/2020 - 12:17
          +1

          Wait, the Adelaide comment was sarcastic right? I'm from Adelaide too and we're known all around Australia to have the worst tap water in the major cities. People that come from other states laugh at us and then buy bottled water.

            +1

            @carlscott1982: Yes, overflowing with sarcasm. Adelaide water straight from the tap is absolutely foul with a strong chlorine smell. After a bit of carbon filtering… great!

            • bio on 16/10/2020 - 14:53

              @Cluster: I missed the sarcasm. Oh well…

        Yes noticed that but it says "German Quality and Design". From memory the "Made In" statement is ink stamped on the packaging so probably hard to tell until you receive the physical pack.

        Coles and WW stock has changed to Made in China. Hopefully Costco continues to source the German made ones.

      I've got both - a jug and one that attaches to the tap (which I got on clearance from Officeworks).

      The one that attaches to the tap is a lot more convenient however, the knob that you use to switch between normal tap water and filtered water shot off one day - customer service were great, however it really depends on the water pressure in your property / at the tap (most taps have aerators that reduce the flow rate, however since you need to remove that to screw the filter to the tap you need to remove that, so if you have a high flow rate / high water pressure you may encounter problems).
