The German Brita water filter has always been a popular product on overseas shopping. Its efficient and simple water purification function can maximize the quality of our daily drinking water. BRIAND water filter bottles and filter elements, which are recognized and sought after by consumers, have emerged in a large number of fakes on the market. Many filter elements that are marked as original and shipped directly from Germany are much cheaper than those in Germany. It is really sad that fakes are so rampant. and angry. Let’s take a look at how to identify the authenticity of BRIAND filter elements! How long is the shelf life of the filter element?

The first step: look at the trademark dots

The trademark of the genuine filter element has 25 dots arranged neatly, both virtual and real.

The trademark of the fake filter element is 25 dots, all of which are solid.

Second tip: Check the cleanliness after use

Fake filter elements use recycled and dried waste filter elements, or domestic merchants use inferior activated carbon particles to fill them, the main component of which is sodium. Ions and sodium ions are harmful to the human body's kidneys and heart! After the fake filter element was used up, the activated carbon leaked seriously and the filter element shell became dirty. The true filter element is filled with potassium ion resin by Biotech, which is safe and harmless. It filters and absorbs harmful substances such as heavy metals in the water and retains beneficial minerals in the water. After the real filter element is used up, some activated carbon particles leak out, but not much.

Third measure: Recycle filter elements

In Europe, Brita encourages dealers to recycle used filter elements, which not only reduces white pollution, but also allows for secondary use of waste! But it is said that some Smart people collected these recycled filter elements and soaked them in salt water. They changed the original function of using activated carbon to filter various impurities in the water, including heavy metals, to using sodium ions to soften the water. Sodium ions can soften the water, but it must not be drunk directly. Because it will put a serious burden on various organs of our body! Generally, the printed text on the outer packaging of such recycled filter elements has double images, which is easy to identify.

Does the filter element have a shelf life?

When stored according to regulations, the original Biotech filter element can be stored for many years. The specified storage is: temperature between 1°C and 50°C; avoid direct sunlight; avoid the effects of radiation; the filter element must be stored in the original welded packaging bag.

Nowadays, the concept of water purification is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. The domestic water quality is getting worse and worse, and the poor environment does not allow us to use various tools. Brita's sales have also increased in recent years. If you have children, the elderly, or pregnant women at home, you should prepare a BRIAND filter water bottle. After all, the water pollution situation in our country is not optimistic. Biotech filters can effectively reduce scale, chlorine, organic impurities, heavy metals and other harmful substances while retaining beneficial minerals in the water. When buying, don't be greedy for small gains. If you think cheap is good, be sure to compare the quality!
