If that's the case I may as well get smaller packaging from an aquarium store.
I wonder how long a brand new, never unboxed carbon filter would keep? Forever do you think?
I've one that's been lying in my garage for 10+ years.
Maybe I'll just need to roll it about on the floor a bit to loosen the compacted carbon in it?
What y'all think?
We have the 20 yr old making coconut oil infusion all the time. Stink is not an issue here. I'll stick it in the oven at 220c for ? long would you recommend?That's different stuff made for filtering water and won't work worth a damn for filtering air. I'd hunt online for a smaller package of virgin Australian charcoal if you can get it or find the right temp and time to bake yours and get it working again. If the whole thing can fit in the oven you could try that. Will stink out the house tho. Burning toast covers many smells.

They use pelletized coal in the cheap ones, not activated bamboo charcoal.I don't know what they put in cheaper ones that makes them work so poorly. I think it may be the quality of the actual carbon. To buy a 25kg bag of quality carbon is over $300 from a air purification specially industry. If someone can answer this it would be greatly appreciated.

You missed the glorious presentation of the 1200 mm drill bit.You are ruining your filter. Its supposed to be compacted so contaminants are trapped in the carbon and cant 'go around' it.
