12x40 Coconut Shell Activated Carbon | GAC Water Filter Media, 5 Pound Bag

This is the right granule size to use for refilling activated charcoal water filters. Bought this to refill my Brita pitcher filters. Aquarium sized charcoal is too big, and charcoal powder is way too small. This product works great, easy to refill the cartridges because the charcoal pours freely, and there's a lot less dust than with other brands of activated charcoal. And of course the water tastes spectacular! Also comes in a 1 lb size.

Washed charcoal to remove fines from the larger mesh grains, then wrapped in a drip coffee filter to "finish" water from a commercial water distiller. Improves taste, and removes volatile organics and chlorination byproducts that may come over condenser head with the distilled water.

We use this in our Nutriteam Water Distiller in place of the overpriced charcoal packets. I simply cut a cheap coffee filter down to size, wash a tablespoon (or less) of this charcoal in a strainer and place it into the distiller nozzle. Works perfectly for us and the water taste great.

We are using this to filter water and it's doing pretty good and the price is certainly right. Will definitely purchase again!

This is high quality charcoal. Consistent size, not much dust. I bought the wrong size last time. This is the size I needed. I have drilled a hole in the side of my facemask filters(organic vapor filter), poured out the old charcoal, filled with new charcoal and put a piece of tape over the hole. Repeat the process as often as needed. You can save a lot of money this way. Of course there are many other uses for it as well.

I wish the dust was removed before they ship it to us. I can't make any use of all the dust. It is messy and time consuming to get flushed out of the granules. That being said, the carbon granules work, I can taste the difference in my tap water.

I like doing things for myself. I use it to remove the bad taste & smell from my tap water at home. It has allowed me to many many gallons of great tasting water with no oder for much cheaper than store bought products!

Filters water well. I have plastic sensitivities that affect my health, but all the water filters I could find have plastic (even ones with glass pitchers have plastic in the filter itself, that generally sit it the water after). This combined with a teabloom glass diffuser & a glass pitcher were the perfect solution. I can now filter out the chlorine taste (and other stuff less obvious) without having trace amounts of plastic being carried into my system. Very happy.
