Brita 35530 Report


Brita 35530 Review by Brugmansia (Riverside, CA USA)

I just melted my third Ultramax dispenser in the bottom rack of the dishwasher, so I'm shopping for a new one. I'm glad so many people have complained about the poor design, perhaps some day it will make a difference when they finally come up with a new model. Until then, here is my tip for easy removal of the the reservoir: Wrap a loop of fishing line around the white upper reservoir before you place it in the lower part. I wrapped it twice for extra strength, and tie the ends tightly. When you want to remove the upper part, simply lift up on the loop of fishing line and it pulls right out. The line is thin enough not to interfere with the fit of the lid. I wipe the line with 10% Clorox each time I clean the unit and replace the filter. They could easily fix this problem by texturizing the sides of the white upper reservoir. I'll try that next...

We bought this in 2006 & have since thrown it in the trash. After several uses, we noticed a slight charcoal film inside which we guess was caused by the filter. We now buy bottled water.


Brita 35530 Review by Markus Schaefer

I am writing this review because I have noticed that many customers say, that particularly the drain cock is badly designed. True is that you cannot drain the tank completely but this is NOT a design error! No, it is well thought trough and I will explain you why.

1.) With the spigot located on a slightly higher water level it is allowing the remaining sediments to stay at the bottom of the tank without floating out once opening the spigot. Otherwise you would have them in your drinks.

2.) Keeping a minimum water level in the tank is protecting your filter unit from drying out. This is important to not destroy the carbon filter.

I am using this pitcher now for more than 6 months. I have not yet experienced any issue with leaking. The materials used are of high quality. I can not at all complain about this product, but what I can do is recommending it. The reason why I am not giving a five star rating is not because I am not totally happy with the product, it is mainly because in my opinion the customer should be made aware that, even the tank volume is big, you can / should not use the full amount of filtered water.

Brita 35530:: Description


Brita’s advanced water filtering systems help remove chlorine, sediment, zinc, and other harmful substances such as cadmium, copper, benzene, lead, and mercury, for clean, great-tasting water. With a tank that holds up to 1.13 gallons of water and fits neatly on countertops and refrigerator shelves, the Ultramax Smart Dispenser is the perfect size for a small office or family. It comes with an innovative electronic gauge that helps monitor use and alert busy users when its time to replace the filter. An included, non-replaceable battery with an expected life of 5 years powers the gauge. Brita filters should be replaced every 40 gallons. The Ultramax should be hand washed in lukewarm water with a mild detergent. Brita offers a limited 90 day warranty on pitchers for defects outside of normal wear and tear. --Jessica Reuling
