Its just that the lcd indicator on the lid lasts 4 weeks. in a household of 1 person, perhaps a liter a day would be used, ie 30 liters a month/replacement filter. In a household of 5 people perhaps 5 liters a day would be processed, ie 150 liters a month/replacement.
ZClearly if the filter is just as adequate to filter 30 liters a month as it is 150 liters a month then either the single person is being badly ripped off or the family of five risk drinking crappy water.

While the electronic "Memo" in the lid is programmed for a 4 weekly reminder, and whereas the filter capacity is 150 litres (subject to water conditions), the 4 week period is based on average consumption of 5 litres a day by the household - which (depending on the model pitcher you have) is about 2-3 jugs a day. If you are a single person household, vary your filter replacement frequency accordingly - you may reset the Memo for a further period and replace say 2 or 4 weeks later. The Memo is intended as a useful aid to always enjoy water at its best - - not to rip you off. BRITA AUSTRALIA CUSTOMER SERVICE
