Binchotan Charcoal from Kishu, Japan - Water Purifying Sticks for Great-Tasting Water, 4 Sticks - Each Stick Filters Personal-Sized Water Bottle

Love these charcoals! I've noticed a big difference in the taste and smell of our water when using these vs just plain filtered water. I have several glass bottles that I fill with filtered water then place these charcoal filters inside. I leave them in overnight and by morning our water tastes amazing. I've found a Japanese website describing how to use these filters and it states that you should thoroughly clean the charcoals, boil them in filtered water, cool the water and store... I have admittedly not tried this method but I thought it was interesting to add.If you're looking at this product then you're probably already aware that the water we drink has a lot of unsavory elements in it, from cysts, viruses, chemical run-off, to antibiotics that wreak havoc on your gut flora, harmful pharmaceuticals, chlorine and the dreaded sodium fluoride. Our filter happens to get rid of most of these offenders but sodium fluoride is tricky since it is a salt that you just can't get rid of unless you distill or use reverse osmosis which takes everything out of your water including all the minerals your body needs to get truly hydrated. So in short, these charcoal filters won't get the sodium fluoride out of your water but it does seem to add minerals to the water making it softer and more hydrating. Personally, I love these and would definitely recommend them.

A great alternative to a nasty plastic water filter jug - I had no desire filter water in something that would just expose me to more chemicals. There's a lot of "BPA-free" on the market, but this is such a scam - these plastics aren't even close to being free of toxins. And all of the glass filter containers I could find were out of my price range. These fit easily into my Kleen Kanteen water bottle and seem to actually work in removing the strong chlorine odor from my otherwise great tap water. My husband was delighted that the pieces of charcoal look like the sticks they once were. How lovely, simple, and affordable! My only concern is being able to remember to boil them every two weeks in order to maintain their effectiveness - I guess that's the trade off for this otherwise perfect solution to my water filtration problem.

great product! I use 2 of these in my 3-gallon blue wave water dispenser and I always have clean and crips water on tap! You can truly taste the difference. No chlorine smell or taste! Too bad it doesn't remove fluoride but can't change the chemistry.. If you're looking to remove fluoride look up activated alumina pellets.Heads up: "4-6" sticks usually means 4

I love these sticks! They make your water taste delicious, but they've gotten so expensive I'm finding it difficult to justify their cost. My solution was to buy stainless tea ball infusers and fill them with the activated charcoal carbon I also use in my fish tanks. This method is MUCH less costly and every bit as tasty...if not moreso. Now I only buy these for the one bottle I have with an opening too small for a tea infuser, and I'm working on a solution for that one as well. But these are wonderful sticks and the perfect size for sport bottles.

Maybe it is just me but my these actually made my water taste better. I have never had that experience with either Brita or Pur. I highly recommend this product. I use it in my 40 oz Kleen Kanteen and 36 oz. Camelback. And not throwing those plastic filters in recycling - let's face it, the trash, is more in tune with an eco conscious lifestyle.

The water I have access to at work tastes musty and old, so I was looking for an eco-friendly way to fix that problem. I was skeptical when I ordered them, But they do the trick wonderfully. They say to give it an hour or two to work, but even 10 minutes is a significant improvement.

I bought these to replace my Brita filter and I love these so much more then i thought i would. I will definitely be purchasing these again. Doesn't leave any after taste, uses no plastics to help filter my water. Overall I am very happy with this eco alternative. These will definitely become a permanent replacement towards my zero waste lifestyle. <3

Past orders were great and the charcoal really worked. Myself and a friend recently placed orders and received much smaller pieces that looked different. We compared the older to the newer orders and the water treated by the newer order didn't taste any different from the tap. Guess we are going to have to find a new source. Very disappointing!
