Woody’s Binchotan Activated Charcoal
Why Choose Binchotan Activated Charcoal?
- Effective and Natural Purification: Binchotan activated charcoal purifies water through adsorption, capturing impurities on its porous surface. It effectively removes chlorine, heavy metals, and chemicals while alkalizing the water and releasing beneficial minerals like calcium and magnesium.
- Improved Taste and Smell: Say goodbye to unpleasant tap water taste and odor. Binchotan enhances water quality, making it more enjoyable to drink.
- Economical and Sustainable: Use a stick of activated charcoal for six months, cutting down on expensive water filters and plastic bottles.
- Environmentally Friendly: By choosing activated charcoal, you reduce single-use plastic consumption, contributing to environmental preservation.
- Health Benefits: Enriched with essential minerals like calcium, magnesium, and iron, your water becomes healthier and more beneficial for your body.
What Binchotan Charcoal Removes from Your Water:
- Chlorine: Reduces chlorine levels, taste, and odor.
- Heavy Metals: Adsorbs lead, mercury, and copper.
- Chemicals: Removes pesticides, herbicides, and other chemical substances.
- Organic Impurities: Captures unwanted organic materials.
- Microplastics: Traps microplastics for cleaner water.
Choose Woody’s Binchotan Activated Charcoal to transform your tap water into a pure and healthy source of refreshment.
Why is Floating Binchotan Charcoal a Sign of Poor Quality?
High-quality Binchotan activated charcoal is dense and naturally sinks to the bottom of the water. If it floats, it may indicate lower manufacturing quality with insufficiently porous structure for effective impurity adsorption. Poor-quality Binchotan will have reduced water purification performance, compromising its intended benefits. Always choose authentic, high-quality Binchotan for optimal water purification.
Adopt Woody’s Binchotan activated charcoal water filter and enjoy purer, healthier, and more pleasant water while helping protect the environment.
Steps for Using and Recycling Binchotan Activated Charcoal
Usage Instructions
- Initial Preparation
- Rinsing: Rinse the Binchotan charcoal under running water to remove dust and residues.
- Activation and Sterilization: Boil the charcoal for about 10 minutes to activate and sterilize it.
- Daily Use
- Placement: Place the Binchotan charcoal in a carafe, bottle, or water reservoir. Use about 1 binchotan of charcoal per 1,5 liter of water.
- Purification: Let the charcoal work for at least 6 to 8 hours (ideally overnight) to purify the water.
- Maintenance: Rinse the charcoal every 2 to 4 weeks and boil it for 10 minutes to regenerate and maintain effectiveness.
Lifespan
- Continuous Use: Binchotan charcoal can be used for around six months before needing replacement.
- End of Life: When the charcoal begins to lose efficiency (water no longer purified as effectively), it’s time to recycle it.
Recycling Steps
- Deodorizer: Use old Binchotan charcoal to absorb odors in the refrigerator, shoes, or closets.
- Moisture Absorber: Place the charcoal in cotton bags and put them in damp areas to absorb excess moisture.
- Plant Fertilizer: Crush old charcoal and mix it with soil to improve soil quality and water retention.
- Composting: Add used Binchotan charcoal to compost. It improves aeration and compost structure, promoting faster decomposition.
Filtration Capacity: Each stick purifies up to 1.5 liters of water and can be alternated for up to three 8-hour cycles per stick each day. After 8 hours, transfer your purified water to another container and add more water to the charcoal for another filtration cycle, allowing you to filter up to 4.5 liters of water per day per stick, for six months, for a total maximum of 810 liters.
Protect Your Health with Woody’s Binchotan Activated Charcoal
Dangers of PFAS Pollution
Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are synthetic chemicals commonly used for their non-stick, water, and grease-resistant properties. Their persistence in the environment and ability to accumulate in living organisms pose serious risks:
- For Human Health:
- Endocrine Disruption: PFAS disturb hormonal balance, leading to reproductive and developmental disorders.
- Cancer Risk: Exposure to some PFAS is linked to an increased risk of liver, kidney, and testicular cancers.
- Immune System Weakening: PFAS can reduce immune response, making the body more vulnerable to infections and vaccines.
- High Cholesterol: They elevate blood cholesterol levels, a risk factor for cardiovascular diseases.
- For the Environment:
- Persistent Contamination: PFAS are extremely resistant to degradation, persisting in soil and water for decades.
- Bioaccumulation: They accumulate in the tissues of living organisms, disrupting food chains and impacting wildlife.
Extent of PFAS Pollution in Europe
PFAS pollution is a growing concern in Europe. These substances have been detected in groundwater, surface water, and even drinking water. The European Union is taking measures to limit PFAS levels in drinking water and reduce existing contamination.
Effectiveness of Activated Charcoal Filtration Against PFAS
Activated charcoal is a proven solution for reducing PFAS in drinking water.
