The natural activated charcoal that turns your jug into a filter.
Before first use, rinse the stick in hot water, without washing-up liquid. Then place 1 stick in 1 to 1.5 litres of water and leave it for at least 4 hours; for best results, allow 8 hours.
About 5 to 6 months, depending on how often you use it and the quality of your water, i.e. up to 3,000 litres of water per stick. When its effect on taste becomes less noticeable, boil it or replace it.
It helps reduce the taste and smell of chlorine. Depending on water quality, activated charcoal can also help reduce substances such as mercury, lead, benzene, insecticides, herbicides, detergents and solvents.
Every 3 months, boil it for 10 minutes: this cleans it and reactivates it.

A brilliant product for getting rid of the unpleasant taste and smell of mains water... we've had them for a year and boil them for 10 minutes every month. Still just as effective, and the difference is obvious when we don't use them!

I use it because we pay a lot for our tap water, with all the charges to make it drinkable, and yet it's still not nice to drink. With Binchotan we get the best possible drinking water, and it's 100% eco-friendly too 👍👍

Very good size, unlike others that are too thin and break. I put them everywhere: glass bottles, the fridge water dispenser. I pair them with ceramic beads to limit limescale.

Effectively removes the “bleach” taste from tap water. It's fun to watch the little bubbles the charcoal gives off in the water, you can see it working! As you need to leave it for 8 hours, we alternate between 2 jugs. Happy with our purchase.

Has considerably reduced how much bottled mineral water I buy - I use an upcycled 2-litre glass jug - Great
