Upgraded Water Filtration Systems

Brita Upgrades Its Elite™ Filter, Supercharging Its Capabilities

The Elite™ Filter by popular water filtration solution company Brita was recently upgraded as the brand strengthens its roster of offerings. The "new and improved Elite™ Filter" is said to remove 99% of lead from tap water and to significantly reduce most other contaminants. According to the brand, this precision is what sets its offering apart from other filtration solutions on the market.

The Elite™ Filter is compatible with all Brita pitchers and dispensers, with the one exception being Stream. Brita's upgrade on the product also ensures that the filter lasts three times longer than before. The patented pleated filter technology delivers a six-month lifespan for the product. No pre-soak is necessary.

The Elite™ Filter is recyclable through a TerraCycle partnership.
