Binchotan Charcoal from Kishu, Japan - Water Purifying Charcoal for Great-Tasting Water, Half Pound Value Pack

Binchotan Charcoal naturally purifies for great-tasting water. Binchotan is known as the highest quality charcoal and is activated through an extremely high burning temperature and a rapid cooling process. Binchotan's alkaline properties reduce water hardness. In addition, it naturally absorbs odor and improves the overall taste of water, leaving you with a fresh glass of water each time. Each stick can be used for about three months. After three months, it can be used as a natural deodorizer, dehumidifier, or broken into small pieces and placed into your plant soil, creating micro water and air cavities in the soil. Made in the Kishu region in Japan. First use: rinse with water and boil for 10 minutes and let dry. A mix of various shapes, sizes, split, and non-uniform binchotan charcoal sticks are included in one package. Quantity: 1/2 pound (230g). The filtering time is approximately 3-4 hours.
