Rank #9 in Best Water Filter Jug 2026: 10 Ranked by Cost Per Litre
BRITA Flow XXL Water Filter Tank with Tap, 8.2L
Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
The Flow XXL is not a jug at all but a tank with a tap, and the listing sells it on capacity: 8.2 litres, which is roughly three and a half times the standard jugs in this ranking, sized to sit on a fridge shelf, with one Pure Performance cartridge and a four week filter life cycle at 1.33 kilograms.
A tap changes the job entirely, since you fill a glass rather than lifting and tipping a full jug. For a family or an office kitchen that is the difference between convenience and a daily chore. At the time of collection it carried 6,171 ratings at 4.6 stars. Everything here comes from the Amazon listing rather than our own testing.

What buyers actually say
Quoted from customer reviews on Amazon
Verified purchase“Really pleased with this water filter. It seems to work really well and the water tastes much better. My only issue is that it is quite a bit bigger than I expected, so it doesn't fit easily in my fridge without moving the shelves around. Once I'd rearranged things it was absolutely fine, and the larger capacity is actually useful. Good quality and does what it's supposed to do.”
Verified purchase“Been using this Brita XXL tank for a few months now and it's been a solid upgrade from my old smaller filter jug. The bigger capacity means I'm not constantly refilling it, which is great for a household that goes through a lot of water. The tap/dispenser makes it easy to just fill a glass without lifting the whole thing, and it fits nicely in the fridge door on mine.Filter changes are straightforward with the indicator letting you know when it's time to swap, and the water tastes noticeably better than straight from the tap. Build quality feels sturdy, no leaks or cracking after regular use.Only minor gripe is it takes up a bit of fridge space, but that's the tradeoff for the larger capacity. Overall really happy with it and would recommend if you're tired of refilling a smaller jug every day.”
