Product Description
Naturally filter your tap water remove impurities, chlorine, chloramines and odour with this pack of four zero-waste Ecoliving Bamboo Charcoal Water Filters. Hand fired in clay kilns in Japan by experienced crafters. There’s no need for expensive filtration systems with throw-away cartridges - just pop all four into a 1-litre jug of water to gently treat your water and slowly add natural minerals including potassium and magnesium. When they finally come to the end of their life, recycle with your food or garden waste or use in the garden, crumbled charcoal filters will help to aerate the soil, absorb excess moisture in heavy rain and release it in dry spells.
Bamboo charcoal is incredibly porous and works like a sponge to naturally absorb impurities in water. Not only is it three times more porous than charcoal made with wood, but bamboo grows quickly without pesticides making it an eco-friendly, sustainable material.

Been using these for couple of months. Limescale in my kettle has been minimised. We live in a hard water area.

I find these easy to use, I would like to think they are improving the quality of the water, and I'm glad to have a plastic free way to filter. After use, I put my old ones in the salad drawer or a drawer of clothes to absorb smells and moisture.

I am just trying these out, as an alternative to filters that rely on plastic. So far so good

Lb asked this question on 1st Jan 2022
Q: How long do these last until you need to change them please?
A: hi there,
Thanks for your query. Eco living has instructions on their site that advises to replace charcoal after 2 months, I will copy below for you.
Use approx: 1 litre jug = 3 - 4 pieces; 2 litre jug = 6 - 8 pieces
1. Wash in running water to remove powder (do not use detergent).
2. Boil for 10 mins in a pan of water to sterilise & allow to cool and dry.
3. 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).
4. 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.
5. Re-sterilise once a week by repeating step 2.
6. Replace with new charcoal after 2 months approx.
I hope this helps,
Kind regards.
