It works straight away in every home. So what about EcoPro? Based on 100s of installations it takes less than a minute to install and usually without tools. Simply unscrewed the aerator as per instruction and screw on the TAPP Water Filter. In case it doesn’t fit straight away there are additional adapters provided in the box and for free from the support team.<\/p>\n\n\n\nWinner: Brita Jug with EcoPro as a close second.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-water-taste\">Water taste<\/h2>\n\n\n\nThis is probably the most important aspect. How good does the water taste after filtering? Rather than trusting our personal opinion we decided to find out by doing a blind water test. During an event we blind tested and compared bottled water (Evian), TAPP filtered water, Brita filtered water and tap water. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe results? Bottled water and TAPP Water filtered water tied as number one for taste<\/strong>, Brita jug filtered water was a distant nr 2 and tap water came last.<\/p>\n\n\n\nWinner: EcoPro was a clear winner on taste<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-efficiency-in-filtering-chemicals-from-tap-water\">Efficiency in filtering chemicals from tap water<\/h2>\n\n\n\nThis was more challenging as we have to rely on the specifications provided by each company. More importantly most of the chemicals filtered \/ removed is generally not found in public tap water. <\/p>\n\n\n\nEcoPro: Uses a 5-stage filter including <a href=\"https:\/\/backup.tappwater.com\/en\/what-activated-carbon-filters-remove\/\">organic carbon block<\/a> made of coconut shell that filters 100+ contaminants including <a href=\"https:\/\/backup.tappwater.com\/en\/how-to-filter-and-remove-microplastics\/\">microplastics<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/backup.tappwater.com\/en\/how-to-remove-chlorine-and-chloramine-from-tap-water\/\">chlorine<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/backup.tappwater.com\/en\/how-to-remove-lead-from-tap-water\/\">lead<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/backup.tappwater.com\/en\/limescale-tap-water-filter\/\">limescale<\/a>, pesticides and much more.<\/p>\n\n\n\nBrita pitcher Maxtra+: Uses Activated Carbon that reduces limescale build-up, metals such as lead and copper, chlorine and other substances that affect the waters taste.<\/p>\n\n\n\nWinner: EcoPro based on what it filters <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-water-flow\">Water flow<\/h2>\n\n\n\nImagine you want to prepare a pot of tea (1 litre). How long will it take to fill up the kettle? <\/p>\n\n\n\nEcoPro: Claims 4 litres \/ min and it took almost exactly 15 seconds <\/p>\n\n\n\nBrita pitcher Maxtra+: Took almost 2 min to filter 1 litre of water. Obviously it\u2019s faster if you\u2019ve already filled up the pitcher.<\/p>\n\n\n\nWinner: EcoPro with 1 liter filled up in 1\/8th of the time<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-filter-capacity\">Filter capacity<\/h2>\n\n\n\nThe average household in Spain with 3 people consume about 2,200 litres of water per year for drinking and cooking. How much water will a Brita Jug provide vs EcoPro?<\/p>\n\n\n\nEcoPro: 1200 litres per cartridge so 4,800 litres per year with the yearly subscription <\/p>\n\n\n\nBrita Maxtra+: 200-300 litres per cartridge or 2400-3,600 litres per year with the yearly bundle.<\/p>\n\n\n\nWinner: EcoPro but both deliver enough clean water for a year <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-sustainability\">Sustainability<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/backup.tappwater.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2023\/05\/image.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"538\" src=\"https:\/\/backup.tappwater.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2023\/05\/image-1024x538.png\" alt=\"Brita jug vs ecopro\" class=\"wp-image-275680\" srcset=\"https:\/\/backup.tappwater.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2023\/05\/image-1024x538.png 1024w, https:\/\/backup.tappwater.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2023\/05\/image-300x158.png 300w, https:\/\/backup.tappwater.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2023\/05\/image-768x404.png 768w, https:\/\/backup.tappwater.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2023\/05\/image-800x420.png 800w, https:\/\/backup.tappwater.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2023\/05\/image-114x60.png 114w, https:\/\/backup.tappwater.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2023\/05\/image-171x90.png 171w, https:\/\/backup.tappwater.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2023\/05\/image.png 1317w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\nOne of the reasons to use a water filter is to stop by bottled water. Clearly both EcoPro and Brita are much better options but is there any difference? We compared the waste from Brita vs EcoPro per year.<\/p>\n\n\n\nEcoPro: 4 cartridges using a minimum amount of plastic. About 3 kg CO2 \/ year for the average household.<\/p>\n\n\n\nBrita: 12 cartridges made of ABS plastic with other materials unspecified. Provides the option of returning the cartridges at the customers expense. About 6 kg \/ CO2 per year for the average household. <\/p>\n\n\n\nWinner: EcoPro wins based on CO2 footprint and the simplicity of discarding the cartridges but Brita gets thumbs up for the recycling program <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-yearly-price-of-brita-vs-ecopro\">Yearly price of Brita vs EcoPro<\/h2>\n\n\n\nFor both products the filter cartridges need to be replaced frequently or else they won\u2019t work. For EcoPro every 3 months and Brita every month. <\/p>\n\n\n\nEcoPro: 89 euro first year and then 55 euro \/ year for cartridges <\/p>\n\n\n\nBrita: 29.99 eur for the pitcher + 70 euro for one years cartridges (from their website or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.es\/Brita-MAXTRA-Recambios-compatibles-Cartuchos\/dp\/B009LB7VOW\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Amazon<\/a>) = 99.99 euro and then 70 euro \/ year.<\/p>\n\n\n\nCompared to bottled water which costs the average household 326 euro per year in Spain both options will save you money.<\/p>\n\n\n\nWinner: EcoPro by TAPP Water wins out with a lower price per year<\/strong> and 4x capacity<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-overall-winner-brita-jug-vs-ecopro-by-tapp-water\">Overall winner – Brita Jug vs EcoPro by TAPP Water?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n EcoPro by TAPP Water is the clear winner in 5 out of 7 measures, equal in one and Brita wins on the initial setup.<\/p>\n\n\n\nThe overall winner is <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/backup.tappwater.com\/en\/tapp-2-twist-faucet-water-filter\/\">EcoPro<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\nReview by Magnus Jern<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nRead our other reviews and comparisons:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/backup.tappwater.com\/en\/best-water-filter-jug-brita\/\">Best Water filter Jug – Brita, BWT, Philips, Laica or TAPP?<\/a> <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/backup.tappwater.com\/us\/tapp1-vs-brita-water-filters\/\">TAPP 1 vs Brita<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/backup.tappwater.com\/en\/pur-culligan-zerowater-brita-water-filter-comparison-2\/\">TAPP vs PUR, Brita and Culligan<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/backup.tappwater.com\/en\/berkey-vs-tapp-water-filter-comparison\/\">Berkey vs TAPP<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/backup.tappwater.com\/en\/drinking-water-filter-guide-2\/\">Water filter buying guide<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Brita Jug vs EcoPro by TAPP Water?
