How often should I change it?
Every 2 months.
| Your water | Change it | Who says so |
|---|---|---|
| Soft, Moderate or hard | every 2 months | Brita does |
| Very hard | every 6 weeks | We do |
The manufacturer gives a limit like "2 months or a set number of litres, whichever comes first". That is a maximum, not a target — so we never tell you to leave one in for longer, however soft your water is. Hard water uses up the softening part of the filter faster, which is why we suggest changing it sooner in very hard areas. That shorter figure is our suggestion, not the manufacturer's.
Not sure how hard your water is? Your water company publishes it on their website, usually under "water quality" and searchable by postcode.
What is the CA6702 easy to mix up with?
The CA6702 does not fit machines that take TZ70003, even though the names look almost the same. They are different shapes. One will not seat in the other's machine.
