Black + Blum Charcoal Water Filter Sticks | Charcoal Filter Hydration Old Japanese Tradition, Lasting 6 Months Each, Wood Black (1 Piece)

We all know [or should] that tap water is full of horrible chemicals and other cancer-causing stuff; that we were fed a lie about Fluoride. It comes from scrubbing chemical factory smokestacks then it's sold as a necessary 'health agent' because paying for toxic waste removal is extremely costly. I've been using baking soda in my nightly water glass for decades to get rid of my acid indigestion, and it doesn't matter where I lived: East Coast, West Coast. I even worked for the EBMUD in California, which is where I learned all kinds of nasty things about the Municipal water supply: it all sucks. Which is why these little gems are truly a miracle. I finally put away my jar of bicarb! There's no aftertaste, no bitterness or burn in the back of my throat all night, just the pure chill of clean H20, like drinking from a mountain stream. I'm so happy I found these, because our bodies are 75% water, and water reacts to Hertz levels, which is why there's so much road rage. So make sure you buy some of these, put them in 5 gallon jugs, and write "THANK YOU," "PEACE," and "LOVE" on the sides of the container. Not crazy... do the research~💦

I always feel bad using the synthetic filters for my cats water bowl. I bought this to use instead and it’s been working great to keep the water clean.

These are great. I like that they have a consistent size as compared to some other brands which are not consistent. The water has a nice clean taste after putting these in it.

This works great. The water tastes much fresher and crisper, pure. Superior to any type of chemical filtering system I have tried. Only 4 stars due to the high price.

In terms of filtration, this product does as good a job as any of its competitors. Tap water tastes much better when I use it. My only issue is that the charcoal floats to the top of my 1-gallon pitcher and stays there. It's as buoyant as styrofoam. So pouring into a glass or to-go bottle creates a mess. This happens even after I boil the charcoal. All other charcoal filters stay at the bottom. If this only happened at first -- if the charcoal sank to the bottom after it gets waterlogged -- I'd rate it more highly. But after 2 months, it still floats. Call me picky, but this is annoying, and it's unique to this particular brand.

A must for city water. Follow the directions.

My first day of class in my PhD completely threw me off and opened my eyes as I was listening to a cancer lecture. I've always been into my health, wellness and fitness, trying my best to help maintain my body as best as I can. I intermittent fast to limit my caloric intake and give my body time to reset, and consume key vitamins that are antioxidants. All of these methods are anti-cancer and using a Brita filter for my water was another way I could control what I consumed. I always believed that the hormones, microplastics and carcinogens in water was pseudo-science, with half truths and half exaggerations. HOWEVER, this cancer class flipped my world upside down and essentially told me all of it was in fact true and that one of the only ways to purify your water was charcoal. After that class I bought a few sticks of this charcoal to use and give to others. I'm not sure how well it does at purifying water or if it just filters chlorine, but the size of it fits perfectly in my Brita. If anyone has done pH/litmus tests, please respond and let me know how well this works. However, for piece of mind I use this and then boil it every few months to remove the impurities and reuse it. If you are like me, the money I spent on this to purify my water is well worth it if it helps prevent even 1% of a disease occurring in the future.

J'utilise ce charbon filtre à eau depuis quelque temps, et je suis très satisfait des résultats. Je le mets dans une bouteille en verre que je remplis d'eau du robinet parisienne, et il fait bien son travail. Le goût de l'eau reste inchangé, ce qui est parfait. Pour prolonger son efficacité, je fais bouillir le charbon tous les six mois, et cela suffit pour qu'il continue à bien fonctionner. C'est une solution simple, écologique et économique pour avoir de l'eau filtrée au quotidien. En résumé, je recommande vivement ce charbon pour ceux qui veulent filtrer leur eau de manière pratique et efficace, sans altérer le goût.

It's a great filter! You can taste the difference straight away. I will get another one for my kid bottle.

A mio parere funziona meglio dei filtri ! Dura però sei mesi ed è completamente ecologico quindi smaltibile in modo naturale e senza plastica Il gusto dell'acqua migliora di molto

Seit wir es im Wasserfilter benutzen schmeckt das Wasser irgendwie weichen und besser

La verdad es que lo compre un poco descreido pero tengo la sesnsación de que funciona. Hace que el agua este más "fina", no aporta ningún sabor en especial, ni olor, ni nada. Quizás le quita esa cosa más densa y pastosa de los carbonatos y sulfatos, procedentes de la tierra bajo el río, además del propio cloro y demás productos químicos que se le añade, por los tratamientos. Tomo mucha agua por la mañana y la tomo del recipiente que tengo el carbón de 2 litros aproximadamente, luego durante el resto del día tomo otras aguas porque creo que también es bueno tomar el cloro y básicamente porque se me termina el agua del recipiente.
