better longer with Brita Longlast+ Pitcher Replacement Filters, which remove 99% of lead in your water. These long-lasting water filters are made with pleated filter technology for 3x longer life compared to 40 gallon filters. Longlast+ replacement filters reduce lead, asbestos, mercury, benzene, cadmium, and more. Change the Longlast+ filters every 120 gallons, about every 6 months for best performance. The pull top cap on these filters makes insertion and removal easy. With activated carbon to reduce chlorine taste and odor, these filters deliver great-tasting water and maintain a healthy level of fluoride (applies to fluoridated municipal tap water). The fibrous matrix in the filter holds active ingredients in place so no black flecks appear in your water. One Longlast+ Filter can replace 900 standard 16.9 ounce water bottles and reduces more contaminants vs. PUR and ZeroWater (based on NSF\/WQA certifications for Brita OB06, PUR PPF951K, and ZeroWater ZF-201 pitcher filters as of 10\/15\/20).

The Brita Elite is NSF certified to remove 99% of lead from drinking water, verified against NSF\/ANSI Standard 53. This is a critical safety assurance for households concerned about lead exposure from municipal water or aging home plumbing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan this filter help protect my family from lead in an older home with original plumbing?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. If your home was built in the early 20th century and still has legacy galvanized steel or lead\/tin soldered copper pipes, the Brita Elite is specifically designed for this risk. Its 99% lead reduction certification gives you verified protection at the point of use, which is where it matters most for drinking and cooking water.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes the filter also reduce other heavy metals and chemical contaminants?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. In addition to 99% lead removal, the Brita Elite is certified to reduce benzene, mercury, cadmium, asbestos, perfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), and Cryptosporidium. This broad contaminant profile is why it is trusted for safety-focused households.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAre the materials in the filter safe, including the plastic housing?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. The Brita Elite uses BPA-free construction with a fibrous matrix that prevents black flecks from entering your water. Every component in contact with your drinking water is chosen for safety and clean pouring.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow do I know when the filter has reached the end of its protective life?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe filter includes a filter life indicator that turns red when a replacement is needed. You can reset it on compatible Brita pitchers by pressing the status button for 6 seconds until the light moves to the 'Longlast Filter' option and turns green, so you never lose track of protection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs this a safer choice than continuing to use my old standard Brita filter?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. The Brita Elite is engineered to reduce 3x more contaminants than a standard 40-gallon Brita filter, including certified lead removal. If safety is your priority, this is a meaningful upgrade over a basic filter, especially in homes with older plumbing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes this filter protect against PFAS, the forever chemicals in municipal water?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. The Brita Elite is certified by WQA against NSF\/ANSI Standard 401, which covers emerging contaminants including perfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS). This gives you an added layer of safety beyond what most basic pitcher filters provide.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWill this filter catch contaminants like Cryptosporidium that standard filters miss?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. The Brita Elite is certified to reduce Cryptosporidium, a parasite that can occasionally be present in municipal water supplies. This is an important safety feature that goes beyond what a standard pitcher filter typically addresses.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the Brita Elite compare to boiling water for safety in an older home?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBoiling water can address some microbial concerns but does not remove lead, mercury, PFAS, or other chemical contaminants. The Brita Elite provides certified reduction of lead and a broad range of chemical and physical contaminants at the point of use, making it a more complete safety solution for daily drinking water.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs this filter safer than relying on bottled water for a family worried about tap water quality?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes in two ways. The Brita Elite delivers independently certified lead and contaminant reduction right from your tap, and it eliminates the plastic exposure and waste of bottled water. You get verified protection and a more controlled source for every glass.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is the biggest safety concern buyers have before choosing this filter?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe primary hesitation is whether the filter is truly certified to reduce lead and other dangerous contaminants rather than just improving taste. The Brita Elite is independently certified by IAPMO R\u0026amp;T, NSF International, and WQA against NSF\/ANSI Standards 42, 53, and 401, with verified 99% lead removal to address exactly that concern.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eI live in a 1924 house with original galvanized pipes, will this filter help?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. The Brita Elite was designed for exactly this scenario. With NSF-certified 99% lead removal and reduction of mercury, cadmium, benzene, and asbestos, it provides verified point-of-use protection against the contaminants that legacy plumbing can release into tap water.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs the filter life of 6 months a safety risk, or does it stay effective the whole time?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 120-gallon capacity is engineered to maintain certified contaminant reduction throughout the rated life. The pleated filter technology holds more media than standard 40-gallon filters, and the indicator alerts you when replacement is due, so protection does not silently lapse.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat happens if I forget to change the filter on time?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe filter life indicator will turn red as a clear visual reminder, and you should replace it as soon as possible. Because the Brita Elite uses pleated filter technology with a 120-gallon capacity, you only need to remember twice per year, which minimizes the risk of running an expired filter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWill this filter work in my older generation Brita Ultramax dispenser?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. The Brita Elite is compatible with older generation Brita Ultramax dispensers, though some users report a tight fit. The pull-top cap design still allows tool-free installation, and the filter performs identically once seated.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the Brita Elite compare to a reverse osmosis system for lead removal?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eReverse osmosis systems can also reduce lead but typically require under-sink installation, higher cost, and produce wastewater. The Brita Elite delivers NSF-certified 99% lead reduction in a simple pitcher or dispenser format with no plumbing changes, making it a practical safety upgrade for renters and homeowners alike.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow do I install the Brita Elite filter in my Brita pitcher or dispenser?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation is simple. Remove the old filter from your Brita pitcher or dispenser, insert the new Brita Elite filter with the pull-top cap in place, and press firmly to seat it. No tools or presoaking are required. Run water through the filter for the amount specified in your pitcher instructions to flush it before use, then reset the filter life indicator if your model has one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow do I reset the filter life indicator after installing a new Brita Elite filter?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn compatible Brita pitchers and dispensers, press and hold the status button for 6 seconds. The indicator light will move to the 'Longlast Filter' option and turn green, confirming your new Brita Elite is active.

Heavy water drinkers may reach the end of capacity sooner, but the filter life indicator will alert you with a red light when a replacement is needed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhich Brita pitchers and dispensers is the Brita Elite filter compatible with?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Brita Elite is universally compatible with all Brita pitchers and dispensers except the Stream line.

The Brita Elite is designed to fit older generation Brita UltraMax dispensers, though the fit is tight by design.

The Brita Elite uses BPA-free construction and is independently certified by IAPMO R\u0026amp;T, NSF International, and WQA against NSF\/ANSI Standards 42, 53, and 401. It is certified to remove 99% of lead and reduce chlorine, benzene, mercury, cadmium, asbestos, PFAS, and Cryptosporidium, making it safe for daily drinking, cooking, and infant formula preparation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWill the filter ever leak, release black flecks, or affect the taste of my water negatively?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. The Brita Elite is designed with a leak-free seal for compatible Brita pitchers and dispensers, and its BPA-free housing with fibrous matrix prevents black flecks from entering your water.
