Q: I purchased this in April and it’s been leaking for at least 3 months. Really disappointing for this to not even last 6 months without having to be replaced. What is the solution to this?
submitted by kimberly - 10 months ago
A: This happened to me. Thought my 2 yr old fridge was leaking from the freezer/ice dispenser. Woke up several times with my newly installed LVP floors soaked. Almost had a $200 fridge repair when I found out this pitcher leak was common. Issue is the gasket isn't sealing well when using the level. Reddit users recommend after dispensing water to let the lever "snap back" vs gently releasing. Honestly this did the trick. Saved a $200 fridge repair tech visit but sadly messed the new flooring up.

Q: What is the deal with this leaking from the spout? Lots of reviews say the same thing - so seems like a defect in your design. My old one was 7 years old and never leaked. Has this been addressed?
submitted by susan - 3 years ago
A: Not publicly addressed. Purchased this in 2025. Leaked within a few weeks. Thought it was my fridge & almost had a $200 repair bill for tech to come out. Reddit users cited a gasket issue & suggested to let lever snap back after dispensing. That actually worked for me but after a week of thinking my fridge was leaking on my newly installed flooring.

Q: How long does it take for the whole dispenser to fill up?
submitted by targetfan123 - 10 years ago
A: A minute or 2
submitted byClare - 10 years ago
A: Mine takes much longer because whe the water level reaches the downspout portion of the insert, the water almost stops draining. I thought maybe the filer was too used, but a new one does the same.
submitted byDeb - 10 months ago
A: Hi, there! That's a great question. The time it takes for water to pass through the filter will vary according to how the carbon has settled inside filter as well as how the water is poured in. Typically, it should take no longer than 10 minutes for the water to fill the pitcher. Should you have any further questions or concerns, please feel free to reach out to us at 1-800-24-BRITA between 9am-5:30pm EST and we'd be happy to help you.

submitted by Nico - 1 year ago

Q: had trouble removing the top water tray to clean bottom container. Is this model made differently?
submitted by Gilbert - 6 years ago
A: Hi there, Gilbert. We're sorry to hear you had trouble removing the reservoir of our Brita Ultramax Dispenser, and we'd like to give you a few tips. Using both hands, pull the reservoir up from the housing evenly on all sides. If you have any difficulty, try placing your dispenser on the counter. As it warms to room temperature, the tank will expand a little then the reservoir will be easier to remove. Another option is filling the dispenser with water, then turning it upside down in your sink. The pressure of the water should cause the reservoir to separate from the housing. Also, there have been no recent changes to the model. We hope this helps. If you have any additional questions, please reach out to our team at 800-242-7482 and reference this number: 201117-000983.

A: You're lucky you get two weeks out of a filter! I switched from Brita almost 20 months ago because I had bad tasting water immediately from Brita filters. It was strange because I had been using Brita for a long time and then it was like the manufacturer changed something with the filters. I tried buying them in different places and nothing seemed to make a difference. I ended up switching to Pur and have had no issues.

Q: I bought this filter in November and saw algae depositing at the bottom of the filter. I dint know how that is possible when the water is getting filtered. Where do I put in the complain?
submitted by Filter - 9 years ago
A: Depending on how much you use the Brita, the filter needs to be changed pretty often, like every month or two. I also noticed it gets slimey in the reservoir and at the bottom of the Brita if it's not cleaned often enough. Hope this helps!

Cold Refreshing and Healthy
We already have this same unit but we wanted a second one to place in our garage refrigerator. When you’ve been working outside in the heat it’s much easier to walk into your garage and grab a big mug of cool, refreshing water from the Brita.

It was either not delivered with care or it was already broken but it was broken and now I need to return it . Was very disappointed because I was ready to use it right away and to find out it was broken was just a huge bummer.

There Is No Way They Tested This Before They Sold It
This dispenser is poorly designed and absolutely not worth the money. If it sits even slightly too far forward, the refrigerator door can press against the exposed spout when it closes. Mine was left running this way and emptied the entire reservoir all over the inside of my refrigerator, creating a huge mess and wasting all the filtered water. A refrigerator dispenser should be designed so that an ordinary door closure cannot activate the spout and silently drain 27 cups of water. The plastic also cracked, making the entire $40 purchase useless. For that price, I expected something far sturdier and much more thoughtfully designed. Out of everything I have ever purchased in my life, I would tell people not to buy this above anything else. I would actively warn friends, family, and anyone considering it to avoid it completely. It is so poorly designed it should be removed from the market. One star. I would not buy this again, and I strongly recommend choosing a different dispenser—ideally one with a recessed or protected spout.
