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!

  • Balances the water’s pH level, if acidic
  • Enriches every glass of water with bioavailable minerals like calcium & magnesium

  • 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.

I've been using these for a couple of years now - it definitely improves the taste of the water, plus it provides some peace of mind that we are drinking "good" water.
This is a product you have to trust that its working. I have a very old porcelain water filter with a sandstone filter and I add the charcoal to it. Living in South Africa I believe we have to do everything possible to make sure the water is pure.
I put my tap water through a big filter and then give it the charcoal treatment as well. And it's the charcoal that makes the water so much nicer to drink - I love it!
I Have Been Using This Product Since It Hit The Market And I Urge Everybody To Try It. It Works Very Well And Saves You So Much Money!!! Please Read Up On All The Uses Before Ditching Your Sticks
What a delightful product. Functional and adds a lovely subtle flavor to the water. Will most certainly continue to use this product.
