They are just tiny particles of charcoal, part of the filtering system. Though not dangerous or unhealthy, I always dump the first pitcher of water after putting in a new filter.
This is an inexpensive homemade water filter setup. Made from a coffee creamer container, a Brita Water Filter and a 2 inch rubber O-Ring. There ...
what are all those black flakes floating on the top of the filter compartment?
Coal it's from the filter.
Are they from the same company? And i tried the brita filter container, and it got dirty in 2 days or less, i had to clean it out with soap and water because it had these little things floating in it. Is the PUR water container a better buy?
those little black powder particles were from the filter. The filter is a charcoal filter and it's perfectly safe to drink. They actually give charcoal to poison patients to help them clean out their system. It just comes out in your fecal matter.
Basically I use a Brita water filter and I change the cartridge once a month, I use the filtered water in the kettle.
I just opened my kettle to have a look inside and I have some limescale floating in the kettle...why is this??
I pay like £4 for each cartridge so why am I still getting limescale?
The filters are only a basic filter. It is not totally microscopic.
I live in a hard water area and the ones I use are only charcoal ones, but they have drastically reduced the scaling in the kettle by about 90%. They make a big difference to the taste of the water as well.
Also as D says they should be changed regularly. I change mine every 30 days as it says. I get mine in threes which cost about £7 so it's about 8p a day which is nothing. Less than 50 cigarette papers!
I got a new Brita. I followed all the guidelines of soaking a new filter and rinsing it and letting it filter water a few times before actually using it. But there is black specs floating in my filtered water that I know is coming from the filter. Is this normal? And what is it?
Takes a few before they disappear!
The Story of 1×57 amp; A Clean Life | 1×57
On Monday, August 7, 2006, I started a new role as an instructor for a sabbatical program that is, what I consider, the gold standard for how enterprises should educate and teach its employees how and why to use social, web 2.0 software. I know the date, because 4 days prior, I called off my engagement and showed up to one of my best friend’s wedding, without my fiance. My friend reminds me of this and the date on a regular basis. I share this only because it is a turning point in the history of my life, a crossroads of sorts, when I decided to deviate from everything I knew and thought I wanted.
Enter Steve .
Steve and I were the first set of instructors to support what has become the Sean and Don show – the creators and pioneers of the program. If there is one thing that stands out in my mind about Steve and my initial impression of him, it was his total state of ease. I guess when you’ve spent time as a high school teacher and a software manager at Blizzard , teaching the intel community how to collaborate and share knowledge virtually isn’t a difficult transition.
