Activated carbon

Activated carbon absorbs unwanted tastes and odors like chlorine, adds beneficial minerals to water, and balances pH. It can be used for up to 6 months. Over 22 billion plastic water bottles are thrown away worldwide every year. Designer Dan Black wants to change that and make tap water taste better, thus encouraging people to stop buying bottled water. Important: After 3 months of use, you need to boil the carbon for 10 minutes, after which you can use it for another 3 months. shelf life: 6 months WHY FILTER WATER WITH ACTIVATED CARBON? Activated carbon works by attracting negative ions in impurities like chlorine and binding them to its surface. It has been used in Japan to purify and soften water for centuries. HOW DO I USE IT TO FILTER WATER? Activated carbon can be used immediately - simply remove it from the packaging and place it in any bottle or jug. Once filled with water, you will notice an improvement in taste in about an hour. WHEN DOES IT STOP WORKING? If used daily to filter 1.1 liters of water, each carbon will last about 3 months. You can then "recharge" your carbon by placing it in boiling water for 10 minutes. This process reactivates the carbon and removes contaminants that have accumulated on its surface, allowing it to filter your water for another 3 months. WHAT TO DO IF IT BROKE? Your carbon will continue to work even when broken. However, if you prefer to buy another one, you can use the broken pieces in many different ways. To nourish the soil or to absorb moisture and bad odors.
