Where Bob Filtro gets its power

Açaí seed biochar, part of the Aquarela Eco Colab initiative

Bob Filtro’s filter media is a very high-porosity biochar made from açaí seeds, a residue that, when improperly discarded, contaminates soil and rivers and releases methane into the atmosphere.

Through the Colab initiative (Aquarela Eco × Resix × Águia de Fogo), these seeds are collected by communities in the Amazon, transformed by pyrolysis and chemically activated, becoming a filter that captures and neutralizes odor-causing gases. Circular economy, local income generation and cleaner air.

Can I leave Bob Filtro exposed on the roof of my house?

What if my house has no vent pipe?

You can install a simple branch on the pipe that carries wastewater to the treatment system, using a tee fitting positioned vertically. Choose an accessible spot so the filter element can be replaced and the gases can disperse properly.
