Alternativ 8 x water filter for Brita Maxtra+

8 x Filtronix water filters, alternative to Brita Maxtra. Fits in water filtration systems and filter jugs with Brita Maxtra cartridges. Household water filters are used to treat drinking water from the public water supply. They focus on reducing water hardness and any contaminants from the household piping system. The pre-filter prevents larger particles, such as sand grains, from entering the filter. Ion exchangers inside the filter remove dissolved substances like calcium and lead from the drinking water by binding calcium or lead ions and exchanging them for hydrogen ions. Activated carbon is highly porous, providing a very large surface area. In this structure, chlorine and odor- and taste-altering organic substances are filtered out and bound. The fine mesh turbidity filter prevents cloudiness of the filtered water due to fine activated carbon particles. The result is up to 180 liters of freshly filtered water with a natural taste, reduced calcium and chlorine content, and lower levels of lead, cadmium, zinc, copper, etc., that can be released from the household water supply. All materials of the filter cartridges are tested and certified for food safety to meet the high standards of the European Community. This also applies to their performance results.
