Sol Cups is helping you say goodbye to using plastic water filters, whilst still enjoying purified water with their Active Charcoal Water Filter Sticks. Let's check it out!
How Do Charcoal Water Filter Sticks Work?
SoL Pure Binchotan Active Charcoal Water Filter Sticks work to purify, soften and improve the taste of drinking water. Its porous nature means it absorbs all the toxins and nasties found in tap water and releases healthy minerals — leaving water tasting clear and pure! In fact, choosing to use a water filter, reduces the risk of gastrointestinal disease by more than 80%. Big tick!
So why use charcoal? Charcoal is a centuries old superpower that has proven to lower cholesterol levels, improve kidney function and whiten your teeth! That's why popping it in your water is no exception to its natural magic. Fun Fact: These activated charcoal sticks are made by burning oak branches at an extremely high temperature and then rapidly cooling them.
