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."

    • installing your water ionizer is simple and easy

    Installing your water ionizer is simple and easy with the applied instructions. There are many different brands of water ionizers but the installation for most of them is all pretty much the same. Your personal water ionizer will include everything that is needed and should fit your faucet, as most are standard. Take not if your faucet has threads you will need to purchase a 15/16 adapter which can be found at most hardware stores.

    All water ionizers produce both alkaline and acid ionized water at the same time. You should be able to install you personal water ionizer on any faucet in the house. The process of installation should only take around ten minutes and is not difficult at all. You just screw the tube to the unit, remove the aerator from the faucet and attach the faucet diverter. Next you will need to cut the hose in half that comes with your water ionizer.

    Attach one part of the hose to the faucet diverter using a hose clamp and the other hose to at the bottom of your water ionizer marked inlet. Make sure that you used clamps on both ends to prevent leaks. The water ionizer should turn on automatically.
