The plastic of the jug and especially the part where the filter is placed looks of low quality, not very resistant. It is true that the taste of the water improves but it does so with other much cheaper jugs and the black carbon particles that settle at the bottom do not inspire much confidence…

Response from Alkanatur
Hello Mireia, thank you for your feedback. The plastic of our jug is of high quality and completely free of toxins, certified by Dr. Nicolás Olea - IBS of Granada. Being a material that does not contain chemical hardeners or other types of toxins that are normally used to thicken materials, it seems less resistant because it is thinner. It is the price to pay for a completely safe material free of endocrine disruptors. About the black particles. It is normal and completely natural for the filter to release some little bits of carbon. Alkanatur filters are made solely of natural products: 100% natural coconut vegetable carbon and magnesium. We import coconut carbon directly from Mexico, and we do not alter the nature of the material. Due to its state or even due to the transportation of the material, the carbon may be more broken and crumbled and release more carbon bits, and even stain the water black. Other times, if its state is more compact, it hardly releases dust and the water comes out completely transparent. The bits may seem "annoying" to the eye, but they pose no danger. In fact, the softer the carbon is, the more toxins it is capable of absorbing.
