Eco Filtered Water
Switch to bamboo charcoal filter sticks and ditch plastic systems for a smarter, eco-friendly choice. Unlike bulky plastic pitchers or cartridges that leach microplastics and clog landfills (over 60 million discarded yearly in the US), bamboo charcoal is 100% natural and renewable, regrowing in 3-5 years without chemicals. It adsorbs chlorine, heavy metals, and odors—cutting chlorine up, while adding minerals for tastier, alkaline water. Reusable for 3-6 months with monthly boiling.
Product Highlights
Product Info
Bamboo charcoal water filter sticks are crafted from sustainably harvested Moso bamboo, aged 4+ years, then carbonized in oxygen-free clay kilns at 800–1,000°C for 7–10 days to form ultra-porous, high-density charcoal with 300–600 m² surface area per gram. Naturally activated during pyrolysis—no chemicals used—the sticks are cleaned with 120°C purified water.

User Guide
This traditional bamboo charcoal water filter stick provides a zero-waste alternative to plastic water filters. Before first use, rinse the stick under running water to remove excess charcoal powder, then boil for 10 minutes to sterilize. Once cooled and dried, place it in a container or jug filled with 2-3 liters of tap water and leave for at least 8 hours for optimal filtration. The activated charcoal works by adsorbing impurities while releasing beneficial minerals like potassium and magnesium into your water, improving taste and reducing the typical "tap water" odor. The stick may float initially but will sink after about a week of use.
Re-sterilize your charcoal filter by boiling it for 10 minutes after every 10 uses to maintain its effectiveness, then allow it to cool and dry completely before returning it to your water container. Replace the filter stick after approximately 3 months of use. This high-quality Japanese bamboo charcoal is made by experienced craftsmen using traditional clay kiln methods, heating bamboo to 1000°C to create activated charcoal with superior adsorbing properties. Regular boiling and proper drying between uses ensures your filter remains clean and functional throughout its lifespan.
After 3 months when your water filter stick is no longer effective for water purification, don't throw it away—give it a second life!
Multipurpose Usage
The charcoal naturally regulates moisture, reduces odors, inhibits mold, and keeps food fresh. Repurpose it in moldy bathroom corners, inside your fridge or bread bin, in smelly shoes, drawers that need to stay dry, or near the toilet for odor control. Once the charcoal has served all purposes, it's fully compostable—simply break it into smaller pieces and add to your garden or compost bin where it will naturally decompose and enrich the soil.
FAQ
How long will they last?
The bamboo charcoal water filter stick will effectively filter water for approximately 3 months with regular use. After this period, it can be repurposed for odor control, moisture regulation, or keeping food fresh around your home.
What happens if they break?
If the charcoal stick breaks, it's still safe and functional. You can continue using the pieces in your water or repurpose them for deodorizing shoes, the fridge, or damp areas. Broken pieces work just as effectively.
Is it safe to ingest?
The bamboo charcoal stick itself should not be ingested—it's designed to filter water by sitting in it. However, the filtered water is completely safe to drink. The charcoal adds beneficial minerals like potassium and magnesium while removing impurities and odors.
It works and water tastes better. One of my sticks arrived broken and I have not been able to teach New Living for a replacement.
It was very effective and lasted well. I would recommend it.
User friendly. Helpful and effective
It is wonderful and i can taste the water as much better than without the filter. thank u!!!
I can't find the answer to this question in your info or online - After using some of the filtered water, the jug needs refilling with tapwater. How long does it take for that water in the jug to be filleted once again? I'd appreciate a reply. Thank you!
Easy and fast. Looking forward to the arrival of this method of filtering water :)
Water tastes better 🤗great item
It was nice and easy.
Delivery good, charcoal is a good size as well
Ordered two sets of the filters, but one set showed up broken. Figure I can still use them as carbon pieces to filter my water, but I assume something occurred during transport. The overall product is decent; you can see the bubbles in the water when you put the sticks in. Gets a little awkward with the infused waters I make though.
Easy to order and great product
Always good
Very good! It came in fully recyclable packaging and works well!
Great! Package, delivery and product!
Beautiful thoughtful and ethical products
Great products! It’s my second order, quick shipment, love New Living!
Just started using this so far so good.
I havent used it yet as I am on the last of my plastic filters but it appears to be good value and was delivered promptly with good instructions for use
Bought bamboo water filter stick for my jug, both look very stylish and works a treat
Quick boil and ready to go, really does make the water taste better. Will be re-ordering when it's time
I have used charcoal sticks for a while now and love it. This one is great, although slightly bigger than the ones i bought before so it may not fit into any bottle/recipient you wanna use. All in all, good product
Water tastes amazing and is so clear, major difference!
