• How often should I change my filter?

  Replace your Brita® Original Filter every 40 gallons, or about every 2 months for most households.§ If you have hard water, you may need to change filters more often. When you install a new filter, use your built-in electronic filter indicator or sticker calendar indicator so you’ll know exactly when to replace it. See how often to change other types of Brita® filters here.

• How do I prepare and change the filter in my Brita® pitcher or dispenser?
  1. Rinse your Brita® Original Filter with cold water for 15 seconds.
  2. Insert the filter into the reservoir by lining up the groove in the filter with the ridge in the reservoir. Press firmly for a tight seal.
  3. Add cold tap water. For pitchers, discard your first three pitchers of filtered water; for dispensers, discard your first dispenser of filtered water (or use it to water plants).
