5 Lbs Bulk Water Filter/Air Filter Refill Coconut Shell Granular Activated Carbon Charcoal by IPW Industries Inc

This was purchased to further refine homemade spirits. I used 2 pounds of very rinsed coal in a tightly packed 2-foot section of 1 3/4 clean PVC pipe to slow filter some over oaked whiskey. The coal removed 100% of all oak flavors and 100 % of the golden color. The results amounted to an extreme over-kill filtering of the spirits. I may try again with about 25% of the original amount of activated coal if there is a "next time". CAUTION The activated coal works well as a filter, even a little too well & it can filter out EVERYTHING. Rinse / wash VERY thoroughly before using there is a coconutty coal flavor in the raw product.

Good for filters that have tiny/mesh/screens but not good for large mesh.

Great activated charcoal, very uniform size, no odor or taste.

First the good news: relatively low dust and suitable for lab work if you're going to do any re-filter . For some things a double pass through a 200mm column is enough to retain the dust. Well packaged in a thick poly bag. Seems highly active. i's wood-derived material, not the petro-carbon. Well priced in small quantities. Not so good news: lot of entrained water. More than I was expecting; you are not going to use this on your anhydrous solvents without a lot of re-drying. For food/beverage work would be great.

I use this to sprinkle in my cat’s litter box & it keeps the litter smelling fresh.

In response to the review that says the dust makes it unusable, I show my setup as in the image I only had to wash the dust once the first time and from there re-used the same media to fill 2x 5 gallon containers now for the 4th time in almost 2 months. Drilled 2 tiny holes in the cut off oj container lid (used a metal lid from another container). Takes about 2 hours to fill the 5 gallon jugs. I don't sit there watching it. I sync the fill up flow with the drip rate and walk away. To fill up the jugs, I am using my old filter faucet that came with a 3 stage housing so.. well at least i found a use for it after all. So no more $20 filters that promise 20,000 gallons but only last about a month. This will last maybe 6 months maybe longer and the water it filters tastes great. Better than any of the filters I have tried and I did try many differnt brands paying more hoping for better results that never delivered. My cats love drinking this water which is how I can tell when it's time to change filters, when the cats stop drinking. So far they are lapping it up no change required yet, and its been almost 2 months. My setup ain't pretty, and the slightest nudge will tip over and have soggy charcoal all over the counter. But that only hapened once and i figured out its better to remove the carbon and set it down somewhere before moving the jugs. So anyway you can rig it up which ever way works for you. You can make the flow faster and add a mesh to catch the carbon and that way you can fill up a container fast. You only have to wash the carbon once... not every time you need a drink of water LOL.. come on now. And yes, it takes a while to get all the dust out. Maybe 10 - 15 minutes.. NOT 2 hours. Just rinse and pour out repeat in a pot until the water runs clear. and you are good to go for 6 months at least maybe longer. I am VERY happy with the results. The nice thing about this system is that once the containers are filled, the carbon dries out and sits away in the corner until ready for reuse. In the filter housing, the filters just sit there in stagnant water getting slimy residue on the plastic washers.. yuck.. Buy this and set up your own system. You will be happy you did

I refill the plastic spouts in my steam distiller with this and it works great.

At first I was a little concerned cause I could not find were it’s source from county wise but they looked legit and there website is easy to find. I made the order for my water distiller and it does not disappoint! Not a drastic amount of dust and the size is appropriate for my use. They have a good competitive price am sure I got more than a year worth of active carbon! I didn’t measured the weight but it felt legit. Came sealed and properly packaged. I would recommend it to any of my friends and family! Here you can see on the picture how they look but I stored them on jars vacuumed sealed with Moisture absorption packs to extend the life of the product while in storage but that’s just me - the bag that comes in is more than enough. Any color besides black inside the jar is just reflections of the background.

It is very we use charcoal to take out iron in the water!
