Some, but not all, cups of tea made with my Brita water filter kettle are tasteless and undrinkable. Why? [more inside]

Here's another question about Brita Water Filters. Presumably the efficiciency of the cartridges is affected by the amount of water they filter as well as the length of time they are in place? In which case, how many litres would one cartridge safely cope with? And is there really a maximum time required before changing it?
