    If you are on a budget try this too.........

    Charcoal reactivation.
    Empty your carbon filter into a fine mesh bag or kitchen colander then flush it with water (RO/DI is best) then rest in a strong (10+%) solution of hydrogen peroxide for an hour. This step can be skipped but helps alot. Rinse again and hold the rinsed charcoal up near your ear. If you hear a sort of subtle crackling or popping noise emanating from the charcoal, congrats you win, If you hear nothing, the charcoal is no longer activated and should be replaced with fresh carbon. If it’s still good bake the activated carbon in an oven (250 F) or treat it with superheated steam to dry/clean and further activate. Once complete place it back into the filter. Also there are several online places to buy bulk activated charcoal. Google it. I've been doing this with my aquariums charcoal for years with great success.

    Cheers man

    why isnt this sticky its proper info
    AGAINST the legalization of cannabis.. the business is already set up do you want to work for some big company at minimum wage?

    decriminalization is all we need.ask an American.. Where now they pay thc tax and can't afford enough Meds plus the card ruins most insurance ..no rant this is factual

    You can also re-activate you char in the following way:
    watch?v=jxBUqk2M3Y8 (since my post count isn't high enough to post links yet you'll have to pop this into the tube yourself, my apologies)
    This cooks all the organic compounds (the smells) out of the char again.
