This fridge jug uses Aqua Optima's unique 5-step filter cartridge reducing herbicides, pesticides and chlorine by up to 80%, giving you better tasting hot and cold drinks.

I have been using filter jugs a few years now and I remember when I was purchasing I could not find good comparative reviews, which is what I will try to do now.
So, I am concurrently using this Aqua Optima jug with a Brita Marella jug, and in the past (while in the US) I had used a PUR filter jug. Therefore I can compare this to the Brita quite effectively, and also compare to my PUR experience.
Of course, I don't have a lab to measure the actual filtration performance and will have to stick to what is perceivable to a regular user.
Review Spoiler: I find it a great jug at an excellent price, better than Brita. Let's do a quick analysis.
-Taste:
This is the most important aspect for me and Aqua Optima does very well, it gives me water that is not far from good spring water. I had a similar experience with PUR filters, while Brita gives me water with a slight yet distinctive taste (which I can recognize in a blind test).
-Filtration speed:
Aqua Optima is the fastest of my jugs, with Brita second and PUR the slowest (especially when the filter is getting old).
-Jug:
It does not look as good as my Brita, but has better functionality (i.e. no problems) and more filtered water capacity for the same size.
-Filter replacement:
Brita has a fancy electronic countdown timer, while this Aqua Optima has a less fancy manual dial where you set the current month to help you remember when to change the filter. I am not crazy about either of these methods since the PUR water filters I used would come with a built in indicator that was dependent of the actual filtered water. For example, during the winter I change filters less often than during the summer (due to about half usage), which means Brita/Aqua Optima indicators are not very useful to me. The PUR filters would simply tell me when I had filtered enough water and it was time to change.
-Price:
It is cheaper than Brita (esp. if you buy double life filters), and as I said it seems to me that it is better too. So, I judge it to be a bargain!
Summing up:
Again, I cannot judge the chemical composition of the water that comes out of these filters, so I simply rely to my taste buds which tell me the Aqua Optima water tastes great, as clean water should. If you can get PUR (e.g. in the US) you will also have great tasting water, while Aqua Optima is also very fast if that is something that appeals to you.
PS. This is almost the same text as my Brita jug review, for obvious reasons.

Amazon Verified Purchase
This Strix Aqua Optima Filter Fridge Jug, is really great. I had another make but it left too much mess in the water. This one is great. And for those who seem to think the filter indicator doesn't work the numbers 1 to 12 don't change. You set it to the month you put the filter in to remind you when to change it. It is great value. I would say get it now.

A two month filter is a great boon and make this a must buy. That and the ease of filling with the one way flap on top, certainly one of my best buys. Would say I'd buy again, but given it's life expectancy not sure I'll need to

Better than Brita
Aqua Optima is much better than Brita. The double life cartridges are supposed to last 8 weeks, but they last less than that for me as I live in a very hard water area. Read more
