My New Best Water Natural Filterer

I used to have this at home when I was little, one day I remembered and searched for it. Back then we had it brought from japan from a friend that used to travel there often, nowadays, I found it at Amazon.

It's called active charcoal, or by the name of the brand.

I find it a very good way to filter water, it's cheap, natural, tastes good, recyclable and nice to look at. It's an ancient knowledge from Japan, now brought to the world by a few brands and shops. It's taste is not strong or anything, I sense a bit the charcoal but I had it tasted by many people "blindly" and they said it tasted fresh, strong, and just nice. When they said strong take it as a heavy mineral water versus a low mineral one, it tastes still like water. =)

It's around 10 € per stick, and it's use goes to 6 months total. Once 3 months go by, boil it, let it dry in the sun, then use it for 3 months more. After that, you can break it and use it as fertilizer, burn it or use it to absorb bad smells from shoes or something else.

The best deal I found is this:

Finally, this is the stick of charcoal itself, all wet from it's hard work.

Let me know if you found this useful, knew already this material or found any value to this info! Thanks!
