The Bamboo Charcoal Water Filters from ecoLiving are a simple, natural, plastic free way to filter impurities out of your tap water. Bamboo Charcoal has an incredibly porous structure, allowing it to work like a sponge and absorb impurities into its pores. The Filters will absorb all kinds of impurities, such as chlorine, heavy metals, pesticides, surfactants and hormone-disruptors, leaving behind clean, tasty, refreshing water.
The Filters are really easy to use. You’ll need 3 – 4 pieces for every litre of water that you want to filter.
Wash in running water to remove powder (do not use detergent).
Boil for 10 mins in a pan of water to sterilise & allow to cool and dry.
Place in a jug and fill with tap water (charcoal may float when new but it will tend to sink after a week or so of use).
Leave for 8 hours or more for best results. You can leave it in the fridge to chill if you like. It’s then ready to drink.
Re-sterilise once a week by repeating step 2.
Replace with new charcoal after around 2-6 months.
After using the Bamboo Charcoal Water Filters for 2 to 6 months, don’t throw them away! Charcoal also regulates moisture, reduces odours, inhibits mould and keeps food fresh. You can be creative and give your charcoal a second life, for example in:
Mouldy kitchen and bathroom corners
Places you keep food and fruits (e.g. the fridge, breadbin, fruit bowl)
Smelly places (e.g. the fridge, toilet, shoes)
Places you want to keep very dry (e.g. chests of drawers)
Make sure the pieces are completely dry before re-using. If you place them in a mild environment like in a chest of drawers, you can more or less use forever. In tougher places like the bathroom or the fridge, the charcoal may start looking a bit tired after a few months. Occasionally put them out in the sun and let them breathe if you want to keep them in good condition. Re-use for 6-12 months.
