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?

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

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.

Looks weird but makes water taste much better!

I bought the personal bottle size and the pitcher size so 30+ dollars. Really not happy. Tried them for a week but we both thought the water tasted like dirt. They break almost immediately too which I was willing to put up with if they worked well. I noticed that the water even still tasted of chlorine. Not a good value, sitting in the drawer and I bought something else for way less $ that works better and it’s quicker too. (Coffee maker filters, used over a funnel)
