With an efficient shape, large capacity and dispensing spigot, Brita Ultramax Water Filter Dispenser is the perfect water filter system for bigger households. It reduces zinc, chlorine taste and odor, copper, mercury and cadmium, often found in tap water. This 18 cup water filter system is perfect for families, sports teams and offices. Its rectangular shape fits neatly on a fridge shelf or countertop, and its spigot makes pouring the filtered water easy when filling a glass, water bottle, kettle, pot, ice cube tray or pet dish. For optimal performance, the filter indicator lets you track when to replace the advanced filter and since one filter can replace up to 300 standard 16.9-ounce water bottles, you’ll cut down on plastic waste and save money. As with all Brita water filter systems, this model is BPA free. Get great taste, less waste and more savings from Brita.

Brita’s advanced water filtering systems help remove chlorine, sediment, zinc, and other harmful substances such as cadmium, copper, benzene, lead, and mercury, for clean, great-tasting water. With a tank that holds up to 1.13 gallons of water and fits neatly on countertops and refrigerator shelves, the Ultramax Smart Dispenser is the perfect size for a small office or family. It comes with an innovative electronic gauge that helps monitor use and alert busy users when its time to replace the filter. An included, non-replaceable battery with an expected life of 5 years powers the gauge. Brita filters should be replaced every 40 gallons. The Ultramax should be hand washed in lukewarm water with a mild detergent. Brita offers a limited 90 day warranty on pitchers for defects outside of normal wear and tear. --Jessica Reuling
