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.
