Aquaphor Onyx Black Water Filter Jug 4.2L with Counter and Maxfor Plus Cartridge

The AQUAPHOR Onyx 4.2L water filter jug with a mechanical meter and MAXFOR PLUS cartridge in black combines vintage design elements with modern functionality. Made from durable Tritan material, this oval-shaped jug offers high impact resistance and a glass-like appearance. It features a convenient flip-top lid for easy refilling without removing the cover and a mechanical cartridge life indicator to signal when a replacement is needed. The included Maxfor+ filter cartridge effectively reduces chlorine, heavy metals, iron, pesticides, and organic compounds while softening the water and improving its taste and odor.

Advantages

The jug is constructed from innovative Tritan plastic, providing the strength of steel combined with the clear aesthetic of glass. Its ergonomic handle ensures a secure grip even when the vessel is full, and the hinged lid system simplifies daily operation. The integrated mechanical indicator provides reliable tracking of cartridge usage, ensuring consistent water purification performance over time.

Monitor the mechanical indicator regularly to determine when the cartridge has reached its 200-liter capacity limit and requires replacement.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that replacement Maxfor+ cartridges are readily available for future maintenance
• Consider the physical dimensions of the jug to ensure it fits in your refrigerator or storage space
• Assess your daily water consumption against the 4.2-liter capacity and 200-liter cartridge lifespan

Regularly monitor the mechanical replacement indicator and replace the Maxfor+ cartridge after filtering up to 200 liters of water to maintain optimal filtration efficiency. Clean the jug body periodically with mild detergent, avoiding abrasive materials that could scratch the Tritan surface.
