Carbon in filters

djr · November 12th, 2008

I read some where that carbon could be cleaned and reused. Any body heard
of this?
I think I posted this in the wrong place.

I hadn't heard that. It expires so I doubt it can or shoud be reused.

if you reuse it it will put all the toxins it has trapped back into the water. that would cause a mini cycle! (@ least I think it would, right Lucy?) reusing carbon is a big no no. hope this helps!
