Is the BRITA Marella XL Water Filter Jug the right choice for a higher-demand kitchen?

⚡ At a Glance
  • Filtration Performance: MAXTRA PRO 4-stage filtration with natural activated carbon and ion-exchanger pearls, plus micro-mesh that reduces microparticles ≥ 30 μm
  • Best for: Households, tea and coffee enthusiasts who need larger volumes of filtered water
  • Not ideal for: Homes that require plumbed-in or continuous on-tap filtration

3.5L total capacity delivers around 2.0L of filtered water per fill and includes one MAXTRA PRO cartridge rated for 150 litres. BPA-free components are dishwasher-safe except for the digital indicator and the jug arrives in sustainable Smart Box packaging.


Plenty of Filtered Water for Families – thanks to a 3.5L reservoir

Full volume is 3.5 litres with about 2.0 litres of ready-to-pour filtered water per fill, designed for higher daily demand. The larger reservoir reduces the number of refills needed compared with standard jugs.

Fewer top-ups during busy mornings and gatherings, so kettles and cups are topped up more conveniently.

Cleaner-Tasting Drinks – with MAXTRA PRO 4-stage filtration

Filtration combines natural activated carbon, ion-exchanger pearls and an improved micro-mesh to reduce chlorine, limescale, metals such as lead and copper, certain herbicides, pesticides and some pharmaceuticals, while capturing microparticles ≥ 30 μm.

Clearer, odour-free water that preserves aroma in coffee and tea and helps slow limescale build-up in kettles.

Easy Everyday Use – thanks to flip-lid and BRITA Memo digital indicator

Flip-lid and spout cover allow one-handed filling through the top, while the BRITA Memo times use and reminds when to exchange the cartridge; the digital indicator is not dishwasher-safe.

Quick, tidy refills and straightforward cartridge-change reminders make maintenance simple for busy households.
