How much shungite should I use for filtering water in a container?

For effective filtration, use approximately 100-150 grams of shungite per liter of water. With the 500g pack, this means you can treat 3-5 liters at once in a large jar or pitcher, or maintain 1-2 liters of continuously filtered water that you draw from and refill daily. The key is ensuring the stones have adequate surface area contact with the water - simply adding a handful to a small bottle won't provide sufficient interaction time for noticeable improvement.

Place the rinsed stones directly into your clean water container. For best results, let water sit with the shungite for at least 6-8 hours, or overnight, to allow the adsorption process to work. The filtered water can then be poured off for drinking, cooking, or making tea, while the stones remain in the container for continuous treatment of new water added.

If you're using this for cooking purposes, you can add a small amount directly to pots of water (about 1 tablespoon per liter) while heating soups or boiling water for pasta. For bath water, the 500g pack can be distributed across multiple uses - add 50-100g to a full bathtub and let it steep as the water cools slightly.
