Can the activated carbon used by home brewers (to distill alcohol) be used as a water filter?
I spend to replace the carbon filter on my water filter/pitcher every few months. Would the activated carbon used by home distillers be as good an option to filter my water? The exact brand I’m thinking about is Prestige stone activated carbon (.4-1.4mm), and I would be running it through a coffee filter in the existing housing on my water pitcher.
Can any chemists – amateur or professional – tell me if this would be a good or bad idea?
