Here are some steps to unclog a clogged Brita filter:
1. Remove the filter from the pitcher or faucet attachment.
2. Rinse the filter under cold water to remove any loose debris.
3. Fill a bowl or container with cold water and submerge the filter in it.
4. Gently agitate the filter in the water to dislodge any trapped particles.
5. Let the filter soak in the water for about 15-30 minutes.
6. Rinse the filter again under cold water to remove any remaining debris.
7. Reinstall the filter back into the pitcher or faucet attachment.
8. Run water through the filter for a few minutes to flush out any remaining particles.
9. Your Brita filter should now be unclogged and ready to use.
Remember to replace your Brita filter regularly to ensure optimal performance.
Filtering tap water has become very common. We all want to believe that the water provided by our town, city, or well is clean and delicious, but using an additional filter that we control makes many of us feel safer. However, when the filter becomes clogged, obtaining “clean” water becomes much more challenging.
Step 1
Take out the filter from the pitcher and carefully inspect the top to check if there are any large pieces of sediment obstructing the intake vents. Gently remove these with the toothbrush and then rinse with tap water. Place the filter back into the pitcher and test if water flows more freely through the vents and out the bottom.
Step 2
If the water flow is minimal or still blocked, there might be mineral deposits from your tap water that have accumulated in the vents. Fill a measuring cup with half a cup of white vinegar. Submerge the filter, vent side down, into the vinegar and let it soak for 30 minutes. Only the end of the filter should be covered with vinegar.
Step 3
Take out the filter from the vinegar and briskly brush the vents with the toothbrush. Once again, rinse the filter and place it back into the pitcher. Fill it with water to test the flow. If the flow is satisfactory, fill the pitcher several times to remove the vinegar taste from the filter. If the filter is still clogged, it needs to be replaced.
