Kishu Charcoal - Activated Charcoal Water Filter for Pitchers 2-pack

It made my hard water taste soft and fresh like no filter I've ever tried. I live surrounded by commercial blueberry fields and even though they are called "wild" they are sprayed heavily, industrially with a dozen or more chemicals. So I've been filtering my water for 20 years just to be on the safe side. My water also has a high copper content. I like that the charcoal imparts some minerals because super filtered water is depleted of these and I think drinking it deprives your body of these consequently causing it to take them from your bones. I've used my sticks in a clear glass container with a flexible silicon lid, I like that there is no plastic involved in the filtering process. A wonderful product, I wonder why we can't make them in the U.S.? I wonder if I could make them myself in my wood stove? :) ha, ha! Seriously though, how are these sticks different from the burnt coals in my wood stove?

It works. I mean it actually works. I was so skeptical, because I mean, it’s a stick for goodness sake lol but it genuinely does work. Our well water has a very heavy mineral taste so we’ve been using a brita filter for quite some time. I got tired os using so much plastic so I decided to give this a try. I wasn’t really sure what to expect but my water tastes crisp and clean now. Even my husband was impressed. It tastes as good as the brita and nothing is going to a landfill. It’s a win win.

Great product!! Great tasting water!!! Easy to use.

Seem to work as advertised. Would purchase again in the future.

We have been using these for 3 weeks in our 2 gallon glass jars and they work great. The kids like to watch when we put water in because the charcoal creates bubbles as it works. I can definitely notice a difference in the flavor of the water, less chlorine and a cleaner taste. We have the XL as well and use that in our 3 gallon water jug on the counter. These fit in the ones we put in the fridge for cold water.

We found out our rental place isn't on the map for lead treatment. So far the water has tasted different (better) with the coal filter.

Said 2 pack. Only got one. Disappointing.

I've been using these for a few years now, and they are great. I have two 1/2 gallon glass pitchers so I can keep them rotated, allowing adequate time for filtering. If you need a faster supply, they do have them for 3 - 5 gallon containers as well. They also have a water bottle size. Just boil them once a month, and they are good for a few months.
