Charcoal Water Filter

Step 1: The charcoal will be dusty at first. Give it a light rinse and brush off any excess ash.

Step 2: Transfer the charcoal to a pot of water and boil for 10 minutes. Drain the water and allow the charcoal to cool completely.

Step 3: Once the charcoal is completely dry, fill your favorite container or bottle with water and place the charcoal inside. During this time the charcoal will adsorb the impurities in the water. For best results, let charcoal work its magic for at least 2-3 hours before drinking. The longer the better!

Step 4: Feel free to leave the charcoal in the container and refill as necessary. The charcoal will continue to work for 2 to 3 weeks until it needs to be re-activated.

Step 5: Re-activating the charcoal is simple. Boil it for 10 minutes, let it cool, and it's ready to go.

Notes

Filtering time depends on the quality of your tap water. The suggested filtering time for a personal water bottle is 2+ hours. For carafe/pitchers, the suggested filtering time is 3+ hours.

Ubame Oak Binchotan Charcoal Stick

The surface of Binchotan Charcoal is made up of macro and micropores which allow the charcoal to attract and adsorb a range of unwanted particles in water. These contaminants are then held in the surface of the carbon until you boil the charcoal (which then releases all the contaminants).

The water moves through trillions of microcavities inside the White Charcoal, leaving your tap water purified, naturally softened, and ionized, while being enriched with vital minerals such as potassium and magnesium.

Once the stick has reached its capacity as a water purifier, no need to throw it out! Its benefits continue on for other everyday uses, like being compost in the garden, or as an air purifier to help absorb positive ions and odors.
