Can the activated carbon used by home brewers (to distill alcohol) be used as a water filter?

I spend $35 to replace the carbon filter on my water filter/pitcher every few months. Would the activated carbon used by home distillers be as good an option to filter my water? The exact brand I'm thinking about is Prestige stone activated carbon (.4-1.4mm), and I would be running it through a coffee filter in the existing housing on my water pitcher.

Can any chemists - amateur or professional - tell me if this would be a good or bad idea?


Not sure but if you want more information on filters look up the website for a company callled CUNO.

back flush carbon water filter systems?



Carbon filters work by absorption.
Once the filter is full, it's dead and should be replaced.

Can bulk activated carbon be used in water filters?

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."

    Water filters are convenient and economical and good enough for most purposes. But they aren’t the last word in water purification. Water filters are popular for personal home purification purposes because removing unwanted sediment matter results in higher quality, better tasting water. Water filters are also used for swimming pools and other recreational bodies of water. There are also portable water filters that you can take with you hiking and camping. Just as the impurities from water can enter the body by mouth, impurities can also penetrate the skin and leach into the body by osmosis.

    Reverse osmosis is a process of filtering the harmful particles and almost all of the reputed water filters manufacturers make filters that offer reverse osmosis. Water cooler companies do not always control the reverse osmosis process in their filters. Reverse Osmosis uses large amounts of water. Commonly, about seventy-five percent or more gets chucked out in conjunction with the contaminations. Reverse osmosis water filtration is available for filtering water throughout your whole home or at the kitchen faucet.
