Why we love it

More and more South Africans are welcoming this special activated charcoal water filter into their health and eco-conscious homes. KURO-Bo (meaning “Black Stick” in Japanese) is the first and only 100% plastic-free, scientifically-proven, natural and biodegradable water filter in Africa. Mother nature’s ultimate miracle water filter! Activated charcoal, or Binchotan, has been used for centuries in Japanese culture to purify, mineralise and pH-balance water. Usable in any jug, jar or fridge water dispenser you already, the charcoal attracts positively-charged toxins and heavy metals, and draws them out of the water, while depositing beneficial minerals into the water. Activated charcoal also balances the pH of acidic water. A single stick of KURO-Bo charcoal can give you 3+ months of cleaner, healthier, better-tasting water with zero waste!

Description

Key benefits of your Kuro-Bo Charcoal Filter:

  • Simple, portable cartridge-free design
  • Can be used in any water container, to suit any lifestyle
  • Removes bacteria (e.Coli)
  • Purifies ordinary tap water in a 100% eco-friendly way
  • Each stick is reusable for 3+ months
  • Draws out toxins & chemicals, including chlorine, lead & mercury
  • Balances the water’s pH level, if acidic
  • Enriches every glass of water with bioavailable minerals like calcium & magnesium
  • Improves the taste and odour of your tap water
  • Each charcoal stick should be added to up to 3 litres of water at a time
  • Opt to pair 2 x KURO-Bo filters with their 6L 100% recycled glass dispenser for an elegant, 100% natural water solution at home, the office or in a restaurant/café/gym
  • Sticks & packaging are 100% biodegradable and recyclable
  • Charcoal sticks also make excellent dehumidifiers & deodorisers in damp areas of your home
  • Used charcoal sticks can be repurposed as garden fertiliser

Directions

  • Remove the Kuro-Bo stick from its packaging & boil it in a shallow pan of tap water for 10 minutes.
  • Allow the stick to cool, then fill your water cooler or container with up to 3L of tap water. Insert the single Kuro-Bo stick. (For larger volumes of water, simply add more Kuro-Bo sticks.)
  • For best results, allow the stick to rest for at least 4-6 hours or ideally overnight, either at room temperature or in the fridge.
  • After one month of daily use, reactivate your charcoal stick by simply boiling it again for 10 minutes, allow it to cool, and reuse as before. Repeat again after 2 months of daily use.
  • After 3 months of daily use, if your water still tastes beautiful, refreshing and pure, keep using your stick and reboil each month. Otherwise, recycle & replace the stick.

Loving the opportunity to return to nature in a modern manner, whilst a fresh river is not near. Simple, delicious and replenishing. We are grateful
The taste is different from conventionally filtered water, but now, used to the taste, I love it! The water is crystal clear, we just fill the decanter every night before bed and clean, healthy water for everyone to enjoy on hand. It's plastic free, economical and really easy to use.
Loved this product. We use it directly in our fridge water dispenser. After 3 hours the water tasted clean but still had a tinge of chemical aftertaste, after 12 hours it was as clean tasting as spring water.
I love the idea of using a filter but really did not like purchasing the plastic refills. This is such a brilliant solution and will now be the way forward for my family.
Really great way to reduce the use of plastic water bottles. Our water definitely tastes better with the stick compared to out the tap.
