Description
DESCRIPTION: Kishu Water filters are made of natural oak charcoal, without plastic and are comparable to a Brita type filter. See list ofo toxins that are filtered out on last picture. Will filter lead, won't filter fluoride.
DIRECTIONS: Please see box and inserts for full details.
1) Brita Replacement Filter: 1 minute filter assembly. Fill with granulars (for up to 6 weeks or 40 gallons of filtration per packe, 4 packets included). Soak in glass of water for 10 minutes before using filter for the first time, and run under cold water for 15 seconds each time you refill the pitcher. Change granulars every 6 weeks or 40 gallons. Granulars are compostable.
2) Regular Kishu: Charcoal is ready to use upon opening. Simply place in any pitcher, water bottle or pet bowl and add tap water. Kishu begins adsorbing impurities immediately* while also imparting healthy minerals like calcium and magnesium. These give your water a delicious, clean taste. *While Kishu begins working immediately bonding with toxins, for optimal adsorption: Kishu To Go – approximately 16 oz of water/ wait 1 hour Kishu Regular – approximately 2 quarts of water/ wait 4 hours; for chloramines, 6 hours Kishu Charcoal should be boiled once per month to keep its pores open. Simply place in a shallow pan of water and bring to a boil for 5 minutes. Allow to dry for 30 minutes before reusing. While a small amount of flaking may occur, the stick will stay completely intact; Kishu will NEVER deteriorate. After four months, Kishu should be replaced. Please use the handy boiling schedule, located in the box. Kishu is a charcoal made of hard wood and is fully compostable. You can use the Kishu sticks to absorb fridge odors after its water filtration life is over.

Love these Kishu filters! We buy the regular size for pitchers and the pet bowl size. They work great to remove toxins from tap water and improve taste too! Highly recommend.
