Maintenance schedule

1. Replace the Standard filter

   every 2 months · Easy

   Every 40 gallons, about every 2 months. Flush a new Standard filter under cold water for 15 seconds before fitting. Hand-wash the pitcher, lid and reservoir periodically with mild detergent — they're not dishwasher safe. Source: https://www.brita.com/support/faq/pitchers/
