BRITA 27-Cup Water Filter Pitcher Black — UltraMax with BritaPlus Filter, reduces chlorine & heavy metals

The Brita UltraMax is a 27-cup BPA-free water dispenser paired with a BritaPlus high-density filter that reduces twice the contaminants of Brita’s Standard filter while preserving beneficial minerals for better-tasting water.

Large households and people who prefer fridge-ready filtered water will find the UltraMax combines capacity and performance: its tall 27-cup reservoir fits on counters or in many refrigerator doors, and the included BritaPlus filter is WQA NSF/ANSI certified to reduce contaminants such as chlorine (taste and odor), mercury, cadmium, copper and zinc. The dispenser uses a front spigot for simple serving and the filter replacement interval is approximately every 40 gallons, or about two months for typical family use.

How does the BritaPlus filter improve taste and safety?

The BritaPlus filter uses a higher-density media than the Standard Brita filter to trap more contaminants while allowing beneficial minerals to pass through. Certification to recognized NSF/ANSI standards verifies its reduction performance for several common inorganic and aesthetic contaminants.

• Reduces chlorine taste and odor for cleaner-smelling water
• Reduces heavy metals like mercury, cadmium, copper and zinc
• Helps retain naturally occurring minerals and electrolytes for balanced taste
• WQA NSF/ANSI certified for verified reduction claims

How much water can the UltraMax hold and where does it fit?

The UltraMax holds up to 27 cups (about 6.5 liters) of filtered water in one fill, reducing the need for frequent refills in busy kitchens and offices. Its slim footprint is designed to sit on a countertop or fit into many refrigerator compartments for chilled storage.

• 27-cup capacity for extended serving without frequent refills
• Slim, upright design suitable for counters or some fridge spaces
• Front spigot for drip-free pouring and easy access
• BPA-free construction for peace of mind

What is the filter life and environmental impact of using BritaPlus?

Each BritaPlus filter is rated to treat up to 40 gallons before replacement, which is typically about two months for average household use. Using one BritaPlus filter in place of bottled water can prevent hundreds of single-use plastic bottles from entering waste streams.

• Replace every 40 gallons or around every two months
• One filter equals up to 300 single-use 16.9 oz plastic bottles replaced
• Reduces plastic waste and lowers recurring purchase costs versus bottled water
• Simple maintenance: swap filters and rinse reservoir as instructed

How easy is it to set up and use the UltraMax daily?

Setup is straightforward: insert a BritaPlus filter into the reservoir, fill with potable water, and let it filter through before first use. Daily use involves pouring from the spigot and monitoring the filter replacement schedule for consistent performance.

• Quick assembly with user-friendly filter insertion
• Spigot dispensing avoids lifting heavy pitchers to pour
• Fits under normal fridge shelves in many models for chilled water
• Replace filter on schedule for continued contaminant reduction

Who is this for: The Brita UltraMax 27-cup dispenser with BritaPlus filter is intended for families, shared apartments, small offices, and anyone who drinks filtered water frequently and wants a low-maintenance, high-capacity solution. It suits buyers who want verified contaminant reduction, fewer plastic bottles, and a reservoir that can be placed on a counter or chilled in the refrigerator. This product is for use with potable water only; performance depends on the composition of your incoming tap water and following recommended filter replacement guidelines.
