Bottle uses active charcoal to make tap water taste better
UK-based Black+Blum’s Eau Good water bottle embraces the centuries-old use of active charcoal to make every day tap water taste better.
Binchotan active charcoal — sometimes known as “white charcoal” — has
been used in Japan as a water purifier since the 17th century,
Black+Blum says, and is useful for reducing chlorine while mineralizing
the water and balancing its pH. The sustainably sourced and rechargeable
charcoal filter in the bottles can be used for up to six months, and is
recyclable after that. After placing the filter in the bottle, users
simply fill it with tap water and wait six to eight hours for filtration
to take place. Priced at USD 20, the Eau Good bottle is made from
BPA-free Tritan plastic, cork, stainless steel and silicon, and it comes
with one Binchotan active charcoal filter, which can also be purchased
separately for USD 3.70. The video below illustrates the concept in more
detail:Black+Blum’s first batch of the Eau Good bottle sold out “within hours,” it says, but a restocking is scheduled for May. Retailers around the world, time to get in line?
