Review: Best charcoal for refilling water filters - This is the right granule size to use for refilling activated charcoal water filters. Bought this to refill my Brita pitcher filters. Aquarium sized charcoal is too big, and charcoal powder is way too small. This product works great, easy to refill the cartridges because the charcoal pours freely, and there's a lot less dust than with other brands of activated charcoal. And of course the water tastes spectacular! Also comes in a 1 lb size.
Review: Used for a water "finishing" filter on a commercial water distiller. - Washed charcoal to remove fines from the larger mesh grains, then wrapped in a drip coffee filter to "finish" water from a commercial water distiller. Improves taste, and removes volatile organics and chlorination byproducts that may come over condenser head with the distilled water.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Used for a water "finishing" filter on a commercial water distiller.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ We use this in our Nutriteam Water Distiller
*by S***G on February 2, 2018*

We use this in our Nutriteam Water Distiller in place of the overpriced charcoal packets. I simply cut a cheap coffee filter down to size, wash a tablespoon (or less) of this charcoal in a strainer and place it into the distiller nozzle. Works perfectly for us and the water taste great.
