How long do carbon bottles last?

[cu0ngsayz]

Not sure how much carbon is actually in a 1cu.ft. carbon bottle, but 1cu.ft. of activated carbon is about $70-100 give or take. Really depends on the source. Some people will sell it at a higher price. Catalytic carbon will cost much more.

The thing is I don't think they fill it completely with carbon. They have other filtering media in the tank from what I've heard. Looking at the tank I have I don't think you can DIY the media. I might be wrong though..

Depends on the size of the carbon bottle

How can you tell that the carbon has gone bad? Of course, if it really lasts 5-10 years, just replacing the carbon periodically would probably be a reasonable cost.

The quality of the water will go back to how it was before running through the carbon. Smell and everything comes back when the carbon has gone bad

I had African cichlids and they did fine with the water softener coming out the tap. I did however run into problems when I started keeping WC Tropheus. I had to get a carbon bottle and splice before softener before things got better

And neither does wifey

Bought one from Chris last week for the fishies but the wifie like the water better than the fishies so I'm getting another just for her. Fishies don't like to share

[eklikewhoa]

Has anybody try to set this up as a whole house filter system?

These are meant for that purpose as well as other large water supply situations.
