Review: Makes Los Angeles water drinkable - I grew up with the best drinking water (NYC), so living in LA it really stands out how awful and undrinkable the water is. I grew tired of contributing to plastic bottle waste so I got the idea to try using two of these broken kishu packs (so that's 4 charcoal pieces total) in a 2 quart glass jar and let them soak for 36-48 hours (yes that's a lot of water to Kishu ratio), then I pour the kishu water into a Brita to filter out the charcoal and dust sediment (the brita is useless without Kishu, FYI). I did a taste test between tap, just brita, and then the kishu/brita, and compared it with crystal geiser. Tap and brita tasted the same (gross), The 36+ hour soaked Kishu water poured into Brita was the cleanest tasting water I've ever had out of a faucett here in LA - when I drank it next to the crystal geiser it was honestly super close in terms of smoothness and made me realise crystal geiser is probably just bottled filtered tap water. I was utterly shocked. I don't know how often I'll have to replace this system since the water is so dirty here, but I am really so happy to finally have found something that works!! Edit: I recently graduated to a 1.5 gallon glass jar for soaking because I needed to drink more water and it's working just as well, maybe can taste a tiny bit more chlorine but still good. Also, I don't think I mentioned that this method does not work if you put your kishu directly in your brita pitcher. Something about the kishu absorbs the plastic and it gets into the water (I could taste it at least), so that's why I soak first with a glass jar. Review: Makes water taste great. - I got this oak filter about 6 months ago and followed the directions for boiling it. I love the taste of the water. Its always in a full pitcher on my counter and is usually refilled every day. I boiled it again at 6 months. The taste is clean and pleasant. It's inexpensive, organic, easy to use and maintain with the promise of a long life. You really cannot beat the price, durability, safety and convenience. ## Features - Sustainable Water Filter ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B07RW2TJJM | | Best Sellers Rank | #114,873 in Patio, Lawn & Garden ( See Top 100 in Patio, Lawn & Garden ) #43 in Grilling Charcoal | | Brand | Kishu Charcoal | | Brand Name | Kishu Charcoal | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 out of 5 stars 540 Reviews | | External Testing Certification | CE | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00735343391156, 00793573064028 | | Item Type Name | Water Filter | | Item Weight | 3 ounces | | Manufacturer | Kishu Charcoal | | Manufacturer Part Number | 102 | | Material | Wood | | Material Type | Wood | | Model Number | 102 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Product Benefits | Removes Odor | | UPC | 051497102708 793573064028 735343391156 | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Kishu Charcoal - **External Testing Certification:** CE - **Item Weight:** 3 Ounces - **Material:** Wood - **UPC:** 051497102708 793573064028 735343391156 ## Images ![Regular size for Pitchers.

I like that they are not toxic, not plastic, easy to "re-charge" by boiling once a month, and are bio-degradable when they are done. I use these in a glass pitcher. We keep several of these pitchers in the fridge, and just alternate them. That way there is one filtering and one ready to drink. These definitely work! I can't stand our tap water without them. They last about 6 months with a monthly boil. You can see when they need a re-charge because they do not produce as many bubbles when you drop them in.
