BLACK+BLUM | Charcoal Water Filter Sticks | Traditional Japanese Charcoal Water Filter System, Hydration + Carbon Filter for Water Bottles + Water Dispensers | 4 Pieces, Last 6 Months Each, Wood Black

Just plunge the charcoal stick in a jug of water and wait for 1h or more (the more you wait, the more chemicals will be removed). Water taste great and no more plastic bottles! each filter last 6 months (you have to boil it after 3 months to use it again).

We used to drink Evian bottled water all the time, but it was getting very expensive and this isn't even considering the hassle carrying water from the supermarket to the car and then to the house,Bought an Aarke water carafe about 18-months ago and use these in it to improve the quality, Since using them we no longer have any bottled water at all and just top up some glass bottles with the water from the carafe.Considering the price of bottled water these last ages and the water tastes as good as the bottled stuff. Can't recommend these enough.

These are great water filters - tape water converted to bottle water quality in 30 mins.Been using theses for years, highly recommended.

These charcoal filters live up to their promise. They improve the taste of Glasgow tap water. Each charcoal stick is wrapped in plastic. I presume that the wrapping is for reasons of hygiene, but it would be nice if the company found some other way to wrap the sticks. Apart from the wrapping, this is a plastic-free product.

I buy charcoal water filters for many years as they are eco friendly, you can use it in almost any bottle and they don't have plastic (only a wrap of course, so they arrive at their destination in proper condition, no moist) as those you change every month. And they never disappointed me. The water taste is always good and they last a lot, as you change them every six months, boiling half way after using it for three months. So for this reason they are also value for money. I can't recommend enough.

If you are thinking about going on the reduce waste route. This is ideal. With brita it does the job but this is one of the natural methods filtering the water as well. This packaging is cardboard and recyclable plastic so the design is environmental friendly/conscience). There is no smell and one stick lasts for 6 months. You just have to reactivate it by boiling it in water when the 3 month hits and reuse the same stick for the remaining 3 months. So when youre buying this 4 pack, it lasts for 2 years. The size is enough for a resusable 2 litre water bottle. Once you have finished with, you can deodorizer shoes or even the fridge... or use it to fertilise the garden.

Highly recommend

I wanted a water purifier that still retains the minerals, unlike traditional water filters. I also live in a very hard water area with a lot of limescale.I recommend having a big water container so the charcoal gets 12 hours to purfity the water. After you can definitely tell the difference between the tap water and the charcoal water after you have let it purify. There is a very very slight difference in taste but i noticed the difference in viscosity more. Definately something I would order again.
