Qualtex Compatible Brita Maxtra Water filter Cartridges (Pack of 12)

Make sure you look for the little adapter at the bottom of the pack - lots of people give bad reviews stating that this product does not work but seems that they are "missing the trick".Works fine - water tastes good.Good value for money - would recommend

You can't grumble getting 12 cartridges at this price, compared with other generic or brita filters. Like the brita filters, they just slot in and out again with ease.One thing I would warn you about though is the pack only comes with one filter adaptor for your kettle/water jug. If you have both like myself, you have to buy another adaptor for £3-£4.Other than that little hiccup the filters are great value for money, they work and I definitely buy them again

I would have given this product 5 stars if weren't for the lack of instructions that led to it nearly being sent back as not fit for purpose. A lot of people have had the same issue as me, whereas they think that the cartridges are faulty because they don't let the water through. This is probably due to the fact that their Brita water jug has a "valve" at the bottom of the reservoir that needs to be depressed before any water can pass, and these filters need to have an attachment fitted to do this. I found the attachment buried under all of the other filters in the bottom of the box with no instructions, or even a note, to say that it was there.I wonder how many of these have been sent back, and probably ended up in landfill, just though the lack of a simple slip of paper, or even something in the product description.But, apart from that, they work perfectly (albeit a little slower than the Brita original filter).Hope This Helps

As good as any other filters on the market.

Work as good as Brita water filter

I decided to buy in order to see myself why is so much cheaper. Below I have a comprehensive review on the item.Firstly to clarify I have used it for 2 months (2 cartridges). I will also compare it like for like with a Brita cartridge. No issues in the taste of the water filtered with the Qualtex. My tab water in general is good and normally I will also drink it directly from the tab with no issues. The flow of the Qualtex cartridge is somehow lower than the Brita one, in other words it takes longer to empty the top jag compartment. This is apparent when you see the comparison of the Brita and Qualtex from the picture. The Brita has more holes allowing the water to filter quicker. The Qualtex cartridges have no designation on them whatsoever, whilst the Brita has a full part number engraved on it. The wrapping is completely white whilst the Brita is full of information contacts and other designations (see picture examples of both). Brita is made in the UK, Qualtex is made in China. On the box of the Qualtex there is nothing at all in terms of certification, and no quality standards designation. This is quite worrying because it appears that Qualtex cartridge has not been tested for anything therefore no guaranty it is safe to use. Inside the cartridges the bids are also different. The mixture of the Qualtex is lighter overall in colour therefore there are more white bids than black ones. Britta has very few yellowish larger bids as well which I could not find in the Qualtex. Therefore the filtering mechanism is definitely not the same as Britta's. In general terms it looks like a poor copy in the naked eye with not Quality standards certifications or any kind of official designations. In conclusion you drink at your own risk. There is no apparent difference in the odour or taste of the filtered water coming out from the Qualtex therefore it does not appear to make the water worse, but I cannot see any evidences that is equally effective chemically as the Britta. I do not think it replaces Britta. It is significantly cheaper but for a clear reason. as far as compatibility with my refrigerator Britta compartment, no issues it fits well and it works fine. I would prefer to wait and try to buy Britta's again on offers.

Best value for good quality and amount of filters.

i have two item that use water filters and they fit both of them

Perfecto para jarra brita

Super Filter die genau gleich der maxtrafilter sind können also bedenkenlos gekauft werden und passen wirklich. Der Preis ist wirklich unschlagbar. Die Verarbeitung ist gleich der teuren Filter lediglich auf der Verpackung steht nichts drauf.

Los compré por el ahorro de precio y me están saliendo muy bien

Ich habe immer die teure original Britta Kartuschen gekauft, aber jetzt bleibe ich bei diesen. Die sind nicht nur billig, die sind auch sehr gut, ich spüre kein Unterschied zum Original. Kann ich nur empfehlen
