Asked Questions

Yes! After about 6 to 8 refills of our bottle, please recycle the bottle. Brita™ has made the conscious decision to place its premium, filtered water into a convenient, ready-to-go bottle made of 100% recyclable aluminum. So now you can enjoy great Brita taste without the worry or waste. In our everyday pursuits, Brita strives to make water better for people and our planet.

When you crack open our aluminum cap, you’ll hear the sound of refreshment. Our cap is made of 100% aluminum, and also includes a thin silicone insert designed to seal in freshness for years. We are always searching for the best solution to deliver the purest water and this thin, non-metal coating doesn’t mean that our caps won’t be accepted by metal recyclers, as they are usually are not an issue (2).

Yes! Your bottle of Brita™ can be hand washed and refilled for a full-day’s use. Refilling your bottle with filtered water from Brita’s pitchers and dispensers is the healthiest path to a full day of refreshing, hydrating water. Do not clean your bottle with a stiff brush, steel wool or an abrasive, which may damage the bottle. Never use the bottle in the dishwasher, microwave or with combustible liquids.

Reduce, Reuse and Recycle. Did you know that 2,000 plastic water bottles are used every second, or that a dump truck’s worth of plastic goes into our oceans every minute?* Incredibly, current projections show that there will be more plastic than fish in our oceans by the year 2050†.

Compared to compostable food materials, plastic products can take hundreds of years to break down. In fact, plastic water bottles take 450 years to decompose.§ So although recycling is a great habit to make, it is best to reduce or reuse rather than rely on recycling alone, since plastic isn’t infinitely recyclable — there is a limited number of times that plastic can be reused to make new products. Pacific Institute estimates that between 32 and 54 million barrels of oil are needed to meet the annual demand for plastic bottled water products alone, and that’s just in the United States. The resulting greenhouse gas emissions are equivalent to over a million cars on the road. On top of that, plastic that accumulates in sea water, for example, can transfer contaminants to seabirds, fish, plants and other animals. Before you toss your empty plastic bottles, be sure to place in a recycling bin to do your part to reduce waste.

Fortunately there’s something we all can do to help, by committing to reduce, reuse and recycle. And we can support companies and products committed to reducing plastic waste. Brita Water™ works in partnership with global organizations including 1% for the Planet®, LOOP® and Ocean Cycle, all in the support of long-term, environmental solutions and in keeping ocean-bound plastic out of the environment. Visit www.britawater.com for more information on each of these important and on-going initiatives.

Brita Water™ uses a proprietary, best-in-class 10-step water filtration process to achieve the perfect taste, and ultimate purity.

Crisp, refreshing Brita™ bottled water is intended for anyone who is deliberate in every detail they choose for their well-being. Everyone who seeks an active health and wellness lifestyle will find Brita the perfect ally and on-the-go-partner to a healthy mindset. Brita wasn’t just purified for these folks, it was built for them. It is also intended not only for anyone who seeks healthy hydration for themselves or their family, but also those who prefer it in environmentally-responsible packaging.

Brita™ Purified water is unlike any water you’ve tasted before. Water transports essential nutrients to your muscle cells so you can power through your workouts and recover faster, according to the American College of Sports Medicine. It prevents you from overheating while keeping your skin healthy.

A 2012 British study found that undergrads who brought water with them to exams performed better than students who took the test without water by their sides.(1) According to a small French study(1) in 2014, researchers found that people who didn’t typically drink a lot of water reported better moods when they boosted their water intake. Conversely, those who were used to drinking a lot of water were in a worse mood when they drank less water. Moral of the story: the human body is around 60% water, muscle is about 80% water and when you stay properly hydrated, your physical performance can improve, you’ll feel motivated and you give a boost to both your mood and ability to concentrate. Drinking perfectly balanced Brita® bottled water will help you win the battle to keep every system in the body functioning properly.

To protect our natural resources, all of our water is carefully sourced from the great San Fernando Valley and Sylmar Basin municipality and delivered to our advanced bottling facility in San Fernando, California.

Our product has a three-year shelf life from the date as marked on the bottom of your bottle.
