Explanation on the occasional escape of activated carbon particles

The Brita household water filter kettle can improve the condition of tap water, making it more suitable for making cold and hot drinks.

The Brita filter cartridge is composed of ion exchange resin and activated carbon, which is suitable for various applications

Drinking tap water.

In order to meet everyone's expectations for high quality in Brita, all filter cartridge feed is regularly monitored by the original factory laboratory, and especially every stage of production is subjected to strict quality testing.

This also includes steam disinfection steps. Brita has 50 years of professional experience in household water filters, and in order to take it to the next level, Brita often extracts filter element samples from growth lines for quality monitoring. The independent and well-known German TUV inspection agency often conducts quality tests on Brita water filters and filters. TUV monitors the components of Brita water filters year-round and issues them with food grade certification.

Despite Brita's high quality standards, you will still see small black particles in its filtered water. This black particle comes from activated carbon, one of the aforementioned filter materials. The granular activated carbon we use is made from coconut shells.

Just like all natural products, the material of coconut shells is influenced by natural conditions. You may have some experience with the coke used in daily barbecues. You have noticed that dry coke is easily broken, and the bottom of each bag of coke is fine powder. This phenomenon also occurs in our filter cartridges, especially during the transportation process from the factory to the store and finally to the hands of consumers, constantly stirring. This will cause a portion of carbon to be rubbed and scraped down into the water you drink, and the phenomenon you see is mostly black fine particles at the bottom of the pot.

These particles have no negative health effects, and if you ingest them, they will be naturally excreted without any changes. Due to the high adsorption capacity of activated carbon, the items (substances) adsorbed by it will not be able to separate from the activated carbon during the removal process. Even activated carbon can continue to adsorb harmful substances in the digestive tract. For this reason, activated carbon tablets (capsules) are often used by doctors as natural remedies for treating dysentery.

Although there is a filter screen designed at the bottom of the filter element to filter out these small carbon particles, if the filter screen is selected too fine, it will affect the filtration speed and even be too slow to accept.

So, as mentioned earlier, some small carbon particles smaller than the filter may occasionally run out. Of course, we and our activated carbon suppliers have been conducting various research and development efforts to achieve a good solution. The occurrence of these fine particles can cause visual discomfort, and you can choose to pour out the water at the bottom of the pot. This way, the fine particles can also be soaked and shaken for a longer time when using the new filter element, which can reduce some weight.

We regret the inconvenience caused in this regard and hope that the above explanation can reassure you.
