Premium 12x40 Coconut Shell Activated Carbon (Water Filtration, Aquarium Cleaning Charcoal) - Bulk Resealable 5 Pound Bag (80oz)

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.

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.

Receives 4 stars for the packaging. The bag came split on the side and charcoal was leaking out. So I put the charcoal in zip locks in another container. That said the product itself looks good. Umm how should charcoal look? It was clean and shiny and looks to be the correct grain size for my use.

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.

Does the job.Bought it to filter our drinking water.Once you wash the dust out it works great. I put it in home made reusable tea bags and boil it once a week, as I did with the charcoal sticks I used to use.

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!

I use this on my water distiller and the water does seem to taste better. I also use it in my fish tank and the water seems clearer. Happy all-in-all and will order again.

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.
