Can I use hot water with my Brita filter?

Asked 2 years ago
Brita filters are designed specifically for use with cold or room temperature water. Using hot water can potentially damage the filter and impair its effectiveness. The high temperatures can degrade the filter materials, which may lead to a reduced ability to remove contaminants and improve taste. It is recommended to only use water that is cold or at room temperature for optimal performance. If you have specific needs related to temperature, it is best to check the product specifications on the Brita website or product packaging to ensure proper usage. Additionally, you may find more details about best practices for using Brita filters by exploring the current web page.
