How to use:
STEP 1: Remove KURO-Bō Stick or Kōins from the compostable corn starch bag. Boil in a shallow pan of tap water for 10 minutes. Allow to cool.
- Whilst the natural purifying process begins immediately, wait 6 – 8 hours (Sticks) or 2+ hours (Kōins) for the best results
- More than 3 litres? Simply add one KURO-Bō Stick for every 3 litres
- There is no need to remove the Stick or Kōins through the month; all you need to do is top up the water!
- For water-dispensing fridges, KURO-Bō Sticks in the tank will give you purified water on tap!
STEP 2: Fill your container or bottle with up to 3 litres of tap water for Sticks, and up to 1 litre for Kōins. Add the cooled KURO-Bō Charcoal to the water.

STEP 3: Reactivating, Repurpose & Repurchase

- After the 2nd month, reactivate your KURO-Bō and reuse as before.
- At this stage, repurchase KURO-Bō Sticks online or in-store so you don’t run out!
- After 3 months, remove your KURO-Bō Sticks and reinvent them!
