I want to purchase Granular Activated Carbon (coconut shell based) for drinking water purification. Norit brand or simillar, in 12Kg bags. This will be regular, year round purchase. Can someone help me on this ?
I would try the phone book.
I'm using a water filter for drinking which consist of a four stage catridge: activated carbon, silica sand, zeolite and mineral sand. Lately, I notice very small particles sentiment at the bottom of the mineral pot where the filtered water is stored. I believe this is from the filter catridge as there are large pores where the particles may pass through. Does this render the water unsafe for consumption?
The water is still safe. Mine does the same thing.
You may be helping a lot of people to save money and keep healthy by answering and share your experience using Brita filters.
I found that Brita Filter replacement cartridges and similar products are extremely expensive. Not mention if you have to pay for the water+sewage as well in your monthly utility bill.
1. Is it good for pregnant woman to drink water filtered by brita instead of buying bottled/distilled water?
2. Is brita filter cartridge contains only activated carbon, what are the white/cream particles inside?
3. Is it easy to regenerate just by boiling it, or you have to reactivate the carbon by baking or burning it?
4. Can you replace the carbon with regular activated carbon (with the same particle size)?
It depends on what you are wanting to filter out of the tap water. Do you know if your tap water contains an elevated level of lead or other heavy metal or chemicals other than the chlorine added in water treatment? If not, I suspect that most filters are very effective far beyond their recommended capacity, since that is based on the worst possible level of contamination in any water system. If you want to test this, use the filter for a while beyond the recommended replacement date, and test the water for chlorine with a swimming pool test kit. If you don't have a pool or know someone with one, call local pool maintenance companies & see what they would charge to test it for you. I am quite certain that there is no way to regenerate activated charcoal/carbon.

The truth is that TAP WATER is just fine in most communities. State laws regulate frequent samplings, inspections and reports on the content of our drinking water.
Lugging in jugs of bottled water to drink in your house is simply not necessary.
TRENDBIRD (What#39;s Next Big Thing ?) :: Making Drinking Water From ...
By pulling moisture out of the atmosphere, the DH9 is said to eliminate virtually all contaminants that might otherwise occur in groundwater. The device then further purifies the water to eliminate 99.99% of contaminants. There’s an electrostatic air filter to remove small airborne particles like pollen and dust, a germicidal uV light that destroys bacteria and other microorganisms, a coconut hull filter that eliminates heavy metals, chlorine residuals and mineral salts, and a reverse osmosis (RO) filter to remove any remaining pathogens or fine particles. Unlike other RO filters, where the wastewater is then flushed (so that the user drinks one purified gallon for each six to ten that are wasted), the DH9’s revolutionary RO filter reprocesses it so that no water is lost. A gravity-fed storage tank holds 6.5 gallons that would be accessible even in the event of...
Things in your water OR YOU that make you go “Hmmm”
The New York Times just uncovered some shocking figures. The EPA has allowed more than a half million water pollution violations nationally over the last five years, with less than 3 percent of the cases of the polluters being fined. The Times now provides an interactive website that allows readers to review the unpunished water pollution violations in their states. I’m not trying to scare you into a case of “chemophobia,” but just become aware of the chemicals that are in our water, food, air, and a bunch of consumer products. I loved those insulated tumblers, but they contain BPA (now in all of us) and I’ve stopped using them. The mere presence of a chemical in your drinking water or food does not necessarily constitute a public health hazard, but is it unsettling news. Remember too that the overwhelming majority of cancers likely result from sources outside EPA control. That is why the World Health Organization suggested in its 2003 World Cancer Report that cancer-prevention efforts should focus on three factors: tobacco use, diet, and infections. But one of those factors, diet, brings us back to the multitude of chemicals used to bring us our food—from the soil, the fertilizer, the irrigation water, the genetically modified seeds, the processing, and packaging, and the plastic plate you might serve it on! The EPA has been investigating PFOA because it is found at very low levels in the blood of the general U.S. population where it remains for a very long time. EPA found small traces of it in drinking water they have tested, but report that “Based on its current understanding, EPA believes these levels are not of concern and residents may rely upon public water systems.” Hmmm.
