Bamboo charcoal water filters

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 months
