About this deal

Before explaining how to use them, we think it is important to explain what these natural carbons are. Even if the charcoal sticks break, they will keep their filtering properties and remain just as effective.

If the item comes direct from a manufacturer, it may be delivered in non-retail packaging, such as a plain or unprinted box or plastic bag. In addition, it naturally absorbs odor and improves the overall taste of water, leaving you with a fresh glass of water each time. The surface of the charcoal is full of tiny holes, which draw in contaminants like chlorine and bind them, away from the water you drink. Activated Binchotan charcoal attracts and draws out positively-charged toxins (chemicals, heavy metals, E.Can be used in our Eau Good bottle, Eau Carafe or any jug or bottle (*minimum spout opening 30mm / 1. It is also able to release minerals such as calcium, iron and magnesium back into the water which enhances its taste and health benefits. I purchased water bottles and a glass carafe from Black + Blum, and we have been using them daily since May.

This setup is so good at absorbing bad stuff that in the early 1800s, a French chemist and a French pharmacologist swallowed lethal doses of arsenic and strychnine (respectively) and then followed that with activated charcoal (“activated” means it’s been processed at high temperatures to be extra spongelike); the charcoal soaked up the bad chemicals, which then passed through their systems; and both men lived to tell the tale. The charcoal is supposed to be replaced as a water purifier after ~6 months of use, but you can use it in a number of other places around the house. This innovative ancient natural water filtration technology, used for centuries in Japan (“Binchotan”), is unlike any traditional filter available today – both in terms of health benefits, as well as its incredible eco-friendly credentials.Occasionally you will notice tiny particles/fragments of the charcoal in the water, but do not be alarmed as it will do you no harm if you swallow them (active charcoal tablets are prescribed to treat diarrhoea, digestion and flatulence). After three months, it can be used as a natural deodorizer, dehumidifier, or broken it into small pieces and placed into your plant soil, creating micro water and air cavities in the soil.

The Goop product description assures us that Binchotan Charcoal removes chemicals, softens, and improves the taste of water (and if you're into a bit more woo-woo, it can even be added to a hot bath to "improve circulation and detoxify"). MONTHS OF DAILY NATURALLY PURIFIED WATER – no need to replace your pitcher filter and water bottle filter every month. There is no plastic to discard or recycle after your stick is toxin saturated in four to six months (the percentage of recycled plastic filters is very small). Most purchases from business sellers are protected by the Consumer Contract Regulations 2013 which give you the right to cancel the purchase within 14 days after the day you receive the item.This represents a good alternative « zero-waste » solution, because for a year, you will save thousands of plastic water bottles. Near the end of this heating process, the kiln’s temperature is increased to 1000 degrees celsius until the wood is red hot.

The Binchotan water filter is therefore 100% organic, it comes from an organic agriculture according to the Vinacontrol referential of Vietnam. If you drink the purified water with bamboo charcoal sticks for a while, you can benefit from minerals such as calcium, kalium and iron. Convenience-wise, the Brita filters are also better; they do not require boiling every so often, nor do you have to wait several hours for the charcoal to work its magic.Charcoal filters are used on a large scale in wastewater treatment too, which makes sense: It’s genuinely good at sucking up poison, whether in stomachs or communal water systems. You will also be able to drink water guaranteed free of pesticides and heavy metals at any time of the day. Afterwards, just put it in your wardrobe, your fridge to get rid of odors or humidity, or by sticking it in your potted plants. Beware: A very small amount of flaking might occur when you drop it in the pitcher—same as when you occasionally see a teensy black fleck floating in your Brita water—but the stick will stay intact. The broken charcoal will still perform its job perfectly well, and will filter your water the same way the long stick would have done.
