Charcoal Water Filter
A plastic-free solution for better tasting tap water. These activated charcoal sticks are made with bamboo so you can toss it in your compost after 4-6 weeks. Low waste from the forest to you...and back to nature.
- How to Use
- Additional Information
1. Rinse 3 pieces of charcoal for 1L of water
2. Boil the pieces for 5 minutes
3. Allow to dry, in preferable the sun.
4. Fill pitcher/bottle with water
5. Allow Bamboo 1 hr to take effect
6. Drink tasty water
7. Refill the container as needed for 4-6 weeks.
Bamboo charcoal leaches minerals like magnesium, silicone, silicic acid* and calcium into your tap water as it adsorbs impurities. You are making your own mineral water! Filter systems like reverse osmosis removes everything from water - even the good minerals. If you have a home filtration system, make sure to add bamboo charcoal to your drinking water so you don't miss these essential minerals. You might see trace amounts of bamboo charcoal in your tap water - this residue is packed with nutrients, so enjoy!
Bamboo charcoal removes chlorine, chloride, phosphorus, ammonia, toluene (alcohol), nitrogen, chloramine (ammonia and chlorine compound added to water to kill pathogens), and even toxins like pesticides that can seep into tap water. Bamboo charcoal adsorbs solids and gases, but not pathogens, so we don't recommend relying on bamboo charcoal to filter creek water while hiking.
