BOROUX Foundation Filters work by absorbing and trapping contaminant molecules. The carbon attracts and absorbs molecules with a certain chemical charge. They stick to the carbon, like how a magnet attracts metal. The tiny pores of the carbon block are so small that they physically block and trap tiny particles. It's similar to a sieve or strainer.

We’re excited to announce an upgrade to our Foundation Filters: transitioning from the original blue stem savers to a new, integrated black stem saver design. Unlike the previous version, was attached to the Foundation Filters with a food grade adhesive, the new stem savers are precision molded directly into the filter. This streamlined, one-piece construction enhances product durability and reduces the need for adhesives. The result is a stronger, more reliable filter that meets our highest standards for performance and quality. The filters with a pink stem saver are only available for the states of California and Iowa.
