INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE OF BINCHOTAN :
1) plan a Binchotan stick for a carafe with a capacity of one to one and a half liters depending on the quality of the water, made of glass or pottery (you can reuse a _cc781905-5cde- 3194-bb3b-136bad5cf58d_clean juice bottle).
2) make boil the bâtonnet de_cc781905-5cde- 3194-bb3b-136bad5cf58d_charcoal for 15 minutes in a pan of water before using
3 ) take it out of the water and let it dry for about 15 minutes.
4) insert the bâtonnet into the carafe or pitcher
5) let the charcoal act for 8 hours.

An activated carbon stick is economical because it is used for 6 months. It is also ecological because it avoids the massive use of mineral water bottles and plastic filter jugs.
Each month, all you need to do is purify your coal by boiling it again in a pot of water for 15 minutes.
Beyond 6 months, the carbon being saturated, it will be necessary to change it.
It is recommended not to leave a charcoal in the same water for more than 48 hours. If this is the case, all you have to do is empty the water and let the charcoal act again for 8 h.
What to do with used coals?
Do not throw away your used coals! They can still be used to reduce odors in the refrigerator or shoe cabinets.
