Charcoal Tap Water Filters

How to Use Charcoal Tap Water Filters

Wash in running water to remove powder (do not use detergent).

Boil for 10 mins in a pan of water to sterilise and allow to cool and dry.

Place in a jug and fill with tap water (charcoal may float when new but it will tend to sink after a week or so of use).

Leave for 8 hours or more for best results. You can leave it in the fridge to chill if you like.& It's then ready to drink.

Re-sterilise once a week by repeating step 2.

Replace with new charcoal after 2 months approx.
