Subject: Activated Carbon/Charcoal
A good source for inexpensive activated carbon/charcoal is your local
water conditioning sellers (Culligan, etc.). I chlorinate my well water
(since we have high levels of iron bacteria) and then run the water
through a whole house charcoal canister (~ 16" x 48"). The charcoal in
that large of a cylinder lasts 2 or more years even though all the house
water goes through it. I could not afford it if I was paying LFS prices!
