Binchotan Charcoal Water Filter – Single

Charcoal Water Filters – Our Thoughts

greenerlyfe is delighted to offer these charcoal filters from black+blum.

The legend goes that Binchotan charcoal was introduced to Japan by a monk and scholar called Kukai approximately 1,200 years ago. Around the 17th century a man called Binchuya Chozaemon made the charcoal more common place.

The wood that it’s made from is sustainable and goes through various processing stages with low and high temperatures before finally producing the right material for a water filter.

Binchotan charcoal is incredibly porous and the active carbon contained attracts ions of contaminants to its surface where they remain.

Magnesium, Iron and calcium are all released back into the water which ensures you have a very tasty and healthy drink.

Its amazing that a single charcoal water filter stick can continue to remove impurities for around 6 months… seem a bit like magic !

Make sure you reuse the filters after use, one common use is to crumble them into house plants where they release nutrients back into the soil.
