Nanostructured Carbon Water Filter. It#39;s 350 times higher adsorption effect than GAC \ Granular Activated Carbon.
I've got a baby red eared slider and I don't have a clue how often I need to replace the active carbon in the water filter.
Does anyone have a rough idea of how often it needs replacing or how to tell that it needs replacing?
ive read every two weeks but i think its a bunch of bull**** just another way for companies to make money. ive always changed mine every couple months or when ever the water starts getting cloudy and isnt staying clear for very long even after you have cleaned the filters out real good

Low pressure drop makes it ideal for whole house or areas where higher flow carbon block filtration is needed

Dont tell me to search it. Obviusoly i already tried. Please answer if you own one.
If you're going with a whole house water filtration system there are two types:
Automatic Backwash Filter Systems and Cartridge Filter Systems
Automatic Backwash Filter Systems - for use on private well water or municipal supply. Carbon filters for this type of system can range between $339.00 to $449.00
Cartridge Filter Systems - primarily in residential applications
There are three types of cartridge filter systems:
Whole House Cartridge Filter Systems
Whole House Disinfection Systems
Whole House Iron Reduction Filter System 20"

Replacement activated carbon for Katadyn Vario water filter
I own a Katadyn Combi water filter. Carbon refill packets for it are expensive. There are many places to buy activated carbon in bulk relatively cheap. Physically it's a trivial matter to buy in bulk and use it in the filter but I'm wondering about the quality of the carbon, the form of the carbon and how suited it is for the filter or anything else I need to be aware of when buying carbon in bulk.
I think you might be in for more trouble than its worth. Activated carbon will come in a powder form, most likely. So then you'd have to open the filters, dump out the old stuff, and hope your system has enough pressure to push through that much carbon.
I would look into some heavy research on the fabrication of carbon filters before I tried to do something like that.
Its sort of like saying "gas is expensive, i think i'll just buy oil on the open market, and refine it at home to make the gasoline."
It seems like a waste to throw it out. Does the carbon have any other use around the home?
It is full of impurities from the water that passed through it. You could regenerate it by driving off the impurities with heat which you don't have enough of at home. Throw it away.

The Industrial Filters Variety
There are a variety industrial element and applications used in the industrial arena. Its not as simple as one element, as the industrial sector offers and requires detailed filtration systems that business professionals should be cognizant of and recognize to correctly pick their ideal filter.
Absorption Filters. Absorption filters are designed to take out water or a specific chemical from fuel, solvents and oils. Generally used in gas pipe-lines, refineries, oil recycling applications.
Adsorption Filters. The Fullers Earth is used to absorb soulable contaminants such as gums, resins, waxes and acids from fuels, oils, and solvents. Carbon elements are created for the restriction of color and smell from potable liquids such as water, vegetable oils and mineral oils.
Air Intake Elements. Developed to take out atmospheric dust or particulates from air intake applications...

Have to worry about the safety of the water itself. So much so that the kids take super-quick baths and they buy and truck in water that they store in big barrels on the porch. Today? In America?
This family's very unsafe drinking water is chronicled by the New York Times in the second article ( and compelling video ) in its important series on the increasing pollution in American waters . As Mrs. Hall-Massey says so well:
Mrs. Hall-Massey's question is easily answered: the Clean Water Act and the Safe Drinking Water Act are being violated significantly and routinely, and the violators are simply not being punished.According to the NYT's investigation, state officials fined or otherwise punished fewer than 3 percent of Clean Water Act violations. And when there are more than 506,000 Clean Water Act violations by more than 23,000 companies and other facilities, 97% unpunished violations means something.
