20 Lbs Bulk Coconut Shell Water Filter Granular Activated Carbon Charcoal

I purchased a 20lb bag of charcoal back on October 12th 2022. Review date is almost 4 months to the day later. Charcoal is as it states and is working as charcoal does. Amazing. So thank you for that. I would also like to thank the company I purchased this from (add later) for sending me a partial product refund so promptly after me reaching out. Will deffinately purchase again in the future for Great price and Amazing customer service. A+++++

This is true activated carbon made from coconut shells, and it is a BIG bag. BUT, the particles themselves are very small so I can't see how this could ever be used in an aquarium filter without itself clogging up the filter. I use it for other purposes and it works great, but it's advertised as for use as an aquarium filter medium. I have a 200 gallon aquarium and a 2,000 gallon outdoor koi pond and I wouldn't use it in either context... just saying... it is what is, so, is it being what it is what you need? You decide.

I got my shipment fast. It was a bit to small to put in a mesh bag for koi pond filter, so I made a bag out of filter fabric and works fine. I will order again in 3 months when it is time to change....UPDATE..... has been a month since I’ve started using this product and my koi pond of Crystal clear. I am also getting great readings on water test.

Good cost

I ordered this to replace my old carbon in my whole house water filter. I checked locally for a product but it was 2x as much. I found this to be very good. Low dust ( I was worried after reading some reviews) good particle size and was very pleased with the results. It has been more than 10 years since I have replaced this media and man what a difference in taste and smell. Very pleased, even better my wife is very pleased.

I bought two of these for the size of my tank. Don’t forget to get a base layer of gravel. You can buy gravel cheaper from a local water supply place though. Make sure you wear a mask when dumping the new charcoal media in the tank. Also, do yourself a favor and purchase a funnel made for the tanks. Run a cycle when you are done to rinse the charcoal in the tank. My water tastes better now and there is no odor.

When my rainsoft tech came in to evaluate my system, he wanted $450 to replace the carbon in my system, which is a total rip off. Do yourself a favor and do it yourself by watching a quick YouTube video. It only cost me $100 for 25 lbs of carbon, which is much more cost effective. Make sure to wear a mask while pouring and get a funnel, which sadly was not included and is definitely needed. The seller is helpful in estimating how much carbon you’ll need. Also be sure to get some food grade o-ring seal as well!

Arrived as expected the proper size granuals and the proper weight. This was the same as the original carbon that I paid almost 200 previously.
