Rank #2 in Best Water Filter Jug 2026: 10 Ranked by Cost Per Litre
BRITA Marella Water Filter Jug with 12 MAXTRA PRO Cartridges
Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
This Marella bundle is the value-per-litre option in this ranking, and the listing is explicit about what the money buys: a 2.4 litre jug that fits in the fridge, supplied with twelve MAXTRA PRO ALL-IN-1 cartridges, in plastic, weighing 530 grams, with a four week filter life cycle.
Twelve cartridges at four weeks each is roughly a year of filtering in one purchase, which is the reason to buy a bundle rather than a single jug. Cartridge price is the real running cost of any jug, so buying in annual packs is cheaper per litre. At the time of collection it carried 2,535 ratings at 4.6 stars. Everything here comes from the Amazon listing rather than our own testing.
How those 2,535 ratings break down
An average hides its own shape. This is the spread behind the 4.6 stars.
