These reusable bamboo charcoal water filters filter out impurities such as chlorine and chloramines in an eco-friendly and natural way. Packed in a reusable natural cotton bag are four bamboo charcoal water filters, which are reusable, then compostable and zero waste.

3-4 pieces are suitable for a 1 litre jug of water, 6-8 pieces for a 2 litre jug.

Although the filters are compostable at the end of their life (after 2 months of use), you could also opt to reuse them in many useful ways throughout your home:

  • Reuse for mouldy kitchen and bathroom corners
  • Help remove moisture from damp areas
  • Place in the fridge to keep produce fresh
  • Help remove smells from your fridge or bathroom

Instructions:

  1. Use approximately 1 litre jug for 3 - 4 pieces:
  2. Wash in running water to remove powder (do not use detergent)
  3. Boil for 10 mins in a pan of water to sterilise and allow to cool and dry
  4. 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)
  5. 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.
  6. Re-sterilise once a week by repeating step 2
  7. Replace with new charcoal after approx. 2 monthsĀ

Better than commercial water filters

I donā€™t know if others have had the same experience but commercial water filters (those in the plastic jugs) sometimes leave a funky taste - itā€™s almost better to just drink from the tap! Charcoal water filters do not leave this horrible after taste and they can be used to fertilise plants when youā€™re done!

Thanks for your review Miriam. We do hear this about commercial water filters and are glad you find these a great alternative! Your plants will be happy too!

really worth the money

excellent I have been using them for a while now, and I have bought two more sets one for me and one for my daughter who has gone to uni.When charcoal filters have worked their magic with the water i use them to keep odors in the fridge under control and in trainers for odor eaters, works a treat when done with them I put them in my home composter.

Hi Deborah, thanks for taking the time to review the charcoal water filters. Great tips there too! Glad you love them.
