Then place the cartridge in the slot, fill the pot twice with water and pour out. The third filling is usable. Press the button to restart the cartridge change indicator. Remove the used cartridge from the filter jug. Clean the lid, jug and funnel in warm water with a mild detergent. Do not use abrasive cleaners. Jug and funnel can be put in the dishwasher (max. 50°C). The lid must not be cleaned in the dishwasher. To prepare your filter cartridge, remove the protective film. Note: Moisture can be present on the cartridge and the inside of the film, resulting from condensation. Place the cartridge in cold water, shake lightly to remove all air bubbles. Insert the filter cartridge into the funnel, and press down firmly. Make sure the cartridge is properly in the funnel. Fill the funnel with cold tap water and let it filter through. Pour the first two fillings away, or pour your plants with them. These first two fillings are used to rinse and prepare the filter cartridge. Fill the funnel again. The system is now ready to use. Made from coconut shell The cartridge is filled with activated carbon from coconut shells. As with any natural product, the size of the charcoal particles may vary slightly. The smaller the carbon particles, the larger the surface area, and therefore also the better the filtration performance. However, fine carbon dust can be deposited in the water. These particles have no negative health effects. When absorbed, they leave the human body naturally and in unchanged form. To eliminate this purely aesthetic impairment, if necessary, you can simply pour away the remaining water in the container.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does this water filter remove fluoride?**
A: In trying to answer your question I've read through the literature that came  came with the jug as well as the leaflet from the box containing some extra cartridges that I purchased and could find no  reference to fluoride. For your information I have copied the info from the cartridge box:
4-step filtration
Improves taste of tea and coffee
Reduces limescale
Reduces lead and copper
Reduces appliance descaling
Water filter cartridge reduces limescale, impurities affecting taste and odour (e.g. chlorine) as well as lead and copper.

So as you can see there is no direct mention of fluoride.

**Q: I have just changed the filter and have pressed the set button to reset the indicator but it just goes back to a flashing square box. Any advice?**
A: When you have changed the filter hold the reset button till it flashes 3 times then it should be set.

**Q: Does this, plus the cartridges of course, remove lead from water like Brita does? Just discovered I've got lead pipes into my house after 32 years!!**
A: This works in exactly the same way as a Brita filter. It’s just a less fancy jug.

**Q: Do amazon sell replacement cartridges? the “amazonbasics water filter cartridges – 6 pack - fits brita classic jugs” one which is the only one i can find says that they do not fit the amazon basics jug?**
A: Yes they do, im just looking up the code coz i bought the jus and the spare filters: AmazonBasics water Filter Cartridges-3 pack by amazonbasics £12.94 for 3pk.  I hipe this helps

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ water filters easily.
*by A***E on 28 October 2025*

water filters well and quickly and nice style jug.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Slow to filter!
*by L***T on 26 August 2020*

My son and I, between us, drink about 8 litres of water a day. And it had NEVER before occurred to me to filter it. I'd always thought filtering water was the province of fans of pseudo-science and people who had too much time on their hands. How wrong I was. After my son and I randomly chatted about how we both felt nauseous after drinking the tap water in our home (we live in the 2nd hardest water area in the country), and after seeing the ENORMOUS pile of plastic drink bottles to come out of my son's room (when he was finally persuaded to tidy up), I figured it might be time to at least TRY a water filtration system. So we got this jug. In terms of value for money, we got the jug and 3 further filters for around £20, which I felt - comparing other, better-known brands - was a good price for 4 months of water (depending on how often we used the jug). And, honestly, my son and I were both excited to give it a go and see whether the water would taste any different after being filtered. This was at the start of a period of very hot weather, so, knowing how much water we both typically get through in a day, we decided to filter more than we needed (continually refilling the jug) and keep it all in the fridge. Well, firstly, 8 litres take up a HUGE amount of space in the fridge. And the jug took, honestly FOREVER to filter that much. Very quickly it became apparent that, even for just 2 people, the jug filtration system was unsustainably slow: I wanted to make drinking cold, filtered water a viable alternative to fizzy drinks, not a further chore to be performed lest the water just run out during a heatwave. Also, there's the issue of the taste. After many litres had been passed through the filter, the taste had faded but, at first, there was a significant "chemical tang" (as my son described it) which we couldn't get rid of, even after multiple washed of the jug and reservoir and soaking the filter, running it under the tap and so on. Now, my son, though excited to give filtered water a go, is a creature of habit and is particular to how things taste. The weird water taste the jug had lasted long enough to discourage him from drinking any more water from the fridge, even after squash had bee made available to him. Yes, the taste faded after about 20 litres had been filtered (about 3 days) but it lasted long enough to be prohibitive to him, and the whole filtering - refrigerating process was slow enough to further that disengagement once it had started. It just all became a bit onerous. HOWEVER. One the tang had gone, the water tasted SIGNIFICANTLY better than water directly from the tap, and no longer makes me feel nauseous, even when drunk in huge amounts directly from the fridge. If nothing else, this just has persuaded me that filtered water is an absolute must in my home - so I shopped for a tank that can hold 9 litres and uses the same filters as the jug, which we'll keep for times of the year when we need more space in the fridge and have to remove the tank. All in all, it wasn't a disaster. It's not a bad little jug, and it could be that my inexperience with this sort of thing somehow perpetuated the weird taste we had at first. But if, like me, you have fussy kids who are reluctant to accept change, you really need to let this just filter a lot of water before letting your children try it - and keeping the thing filled with a family drinking from it is going to be a bind.
