Caryl Posted March 7, 2005 Report Share Posted March 7, 2005 I don't use carbon at all. It is also my understanding you can't clean it, you throw it out and buy more. Most people I know only use carbon to remove medication from the water. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BK Posted March 7, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2005 Cheers thinking about removing this from my filters. Looks like I will. Sure I read somewhere that it could be cleaned/boiled. I don't know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ira Posted March 7, 2005 Report Share Posted March 7, 2005 You can clean carbon, I don't remember the exacty details but it requires putting it in an oxygen free container and heating it to something like 1500°C for long enough for everything it's absorbed to evaporate and then be pumped out of the container. Obviously, not exactly cheap or easy to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
