Changing carbon in carbon filter?
    #27079546 - 12/08/20 09:24 PM (3 years, 1 month ago)

I have a few year old Phresh carbon filter that was used for three harvests before it just sat for like a year. I need to change the carbon in it rather than buying a new one as these are pretty nice ones. Any suggestions guys? Help me save like 150-200$?

Never done what you describe but would activated charcoal from an aquarium place work for this I wonder?

Some people use that yea. I was told there is better quality activated carbon somewhere, but my main question is actually how to do the changing. I have a nice Phresh carbon filter and it was like 150-200$ so rather then buying a new one, replacing the carbon would be awesome

I drilled out the rivets on one side of the filter and dumped all the old carbon. After I filled it I put the end back on and used small screws to reattach. I have used aquarium carbon and ordered some online, there was no difference in my opinion.

Can I refill my filter?
Yes, but not recommended. After-market carbon will most likely not be RC-48 carbon. Your filter will not be as effective with a locally purchased replacement carbon. Also, you will not have access to the complicated, heavy-duty machines used to compress the carbon inside the filter. It will simply not work like a new Phresh® Filter would.

says it's not gonna be as good as it could be.

if you post pictures we could probably have a better idea if its pressed together, threaded or riveted together.
