What is BoneChar?
Bone char is a versatile material and has a variety of practical applications across different industries due to its unique composition. BoneChar is produced in a similar process as activated carbon (water filtration charcoal), but BoneChar has special properties that make is especially great at removing radioactive particles, fluoride and arsenic, which typically includes tricalcium phosphate (or hydroxyapatite), calcium carbonate, and carbon.
Bone char is widely used to treat drinking water, particularly for removing fluoride and heavy metal ions like lead, arsenic, copper, zinc, and cadmium. Its porous structure and adsorptive properties make it effective at filtering out impurities, and it has historically been employed as a defluoridation agent in regions where water contains excessive fluoride.
Unlike Activated Alumina, BoneChar is not made from aluminum. Many defluoridation filters used by manufactures like Berkey, and others, use Activated Alumina to remove Fluoride, but we don’t like the idea of introducing aluminum into our drinking water.
With our system, the reusable stainless sleeve slides down inside the lid on the bottom clean water container. Simply pour one pouch of BoneChar into the housing and use your system just like you normally operate your water filter. The BoneChar should be replaced every 6 months to insure effectiveness. Changing the BoneChar is as simple as removing the housing and dumping out the old BoneChar in the garbage, just like you would used coffee grounds. Rinse out the housing and refill with a new pouch.
