Brita Plus Water Filter Replacement - Traps 2X Contaminants

Our review of the Brita Plus Water Filter Replacement finds it is best for households that want noticeably better tasting tap water without single-use bottles. The single biggest reason to buy is its high-density design that traps twice as many contaminants as the standard Brita filter, producing clearer, better-tasting water for everyday drinking and cooking. Installation is simple, the filter fits most pitcher and dispenser models (except Stream), and a six-pack offers easy, scheduled replacement so families can maintain consistent performance.

Key Features

• High-density filtration: The filter traps twice as many contaminants as the standard model, helping reduce substances that affect taste and quality.
• Chlorine reduction: Activated carbon reduces chlorine taste and odor so tap water tastes cleaner for drinking and preparing beverages.
• Ion exchange resin: Resin helps reduce metals such as copper and cadmium to improve overall water quality.
• Mesh screens: Built in mesh screens prevent black flecks and keep the filtered water visually clear.
• Longer life per filter: Each filter lasts about two months or 40 gallons, offering predictable replacement intervals for regular households.
• Sustainable alternative: One filter can replace up to 300 single-use plastic bottles, reducing waste over the year.

Who It's For

The Brita Plus is well suited to small families, couples, or individuals who drink multiple glasses of tap water daily and want improved taste without changing faucets or installing a larger system. It is particularly useful for those who brew coffee or cook with filtered water and who appreciate an easy, tool-free replacement process.

It is not ideal for users who need a whole-home solution or those whose water requires specialist treatment beyond what a pitcher filter can deliver. Also, it does not fit the Brita Stream system, so check compatibility with your specific pitcher or dispenser model before buying.
