BRITA Elite replacement water filter for pitchers & dispensers, 1-pack — 454 L life, reduces lead & 30+ contaminants

BRITA Elite is a replacement filter cartridge for BRITA pitchers and dispensers that reduces lead and 30+ common contaminants while providing up to 120 gallons (about 6 months) of filtered water.

The BRITA Elite replacement filter uses Advanced Carbon Core Technology and is WQA/NSF/ANSI certified to deliver consistent contaminant reduction across its entire life. Designed to fit nearly all BRITA pitchers and dispensers (except Stream), this single-count cartridge gives you long-lasting performance, fewer replacements, and a measurable reduction in single-use plastic bottle waste.

How does the BRITA Elite improve my tap water taste and clarity?

The Elite filter targets chlorine taste and odor, particulate matter, and other substances that can affect how water smells and tastes. By passing tap water through a dense carbon core, the filter adsorbs impurities and helps deliver clearer, better-tasting water for drinking and cooking.

• Reduces chlorine taste and odor for cleaner flavor
• Removes particulates for improved water clarity
• Helps reduce microplastics and other common contaminants

What contaminants does this filter reduce and how long does it last?

BRITA Elite is certified to reduce 99% of lead and more than 30 other contaminants, including microplastics, pharmaceuticals, pesticides, and various particulates. Each filter is rated for approximately 120 gallons of filtered water, which equates to around six months for a typical household.

• Certified reductions include lead and many other contaminants*
• Rated life: ~120 gallons or about 6 months per filter

Will this filter fit my BRITA pitcher or dispenser and how does it compare to other brands?

The Elite cartridge is compatible with all BRITA pitchers and dispensers except the Stream model, making it an easy replacement for most BRITA systems. Compared to some competitors, the Elite provides certified reduction claims across more contaminants and extends filter life to lower replacement frequency.

• Compatible with most BRITA pitchers and dispensers (not Stream)
• Certified to reduce more contaminants versus many standard filters
• Longer service life means fewer purchases and less waste

How does using this filter help the environment?

By treating tap water at home, BRITA Elite reduces reliance on single-use plastic bottles. Each filter can replace up to approximately 900 single-use 16.9 fl oz plastic bottles, helping to cut plastic waste and the carbon footprint associated with bottled water production and transport.

• Each filter replaces up to ~900 single-use 16.9 oz bottles**
• Less frequent filter replacement reduces packaging waste
• Using filtered tap water lowers bottled-water demand

Who is this for: BRITA Elite is designed for households and individuals who want a certified, longer-lasting filter for everyday drinking and cooking water. It’s ideal for those using BRITA pitchers or dispensers (except Stream) who prioritize improved taste, fewer replacements, and a practical way to reduce single-use plastic waste. If you want consistent contaminant reduction across a six-month filter life with easy installation and broad compatibility, BRITA Elite is a strong choice.
