Improves taste, and removes volatile organics and chlorination byproducts that may come over condenser head with the distilled water. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars quality product *by J***E on Reviewed in the United States on April 11, 2021* This is high quality charcoal. Consistent size, not much dust. I bought the wrong size last time. This is the size I needed. I have drilled a hole in the side of my facemask filters(organic vapor filter), poured out the old charcoal, filled with new charcoal and put a piece of tape over the hole. Repeat the process as often as needed. You can save a lot of money this way. Of course there are many other uses for it as well. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars Clean looks like a good product. *by R***. on Reviewed in the United States on February 16, 2018* Receives 4 stars for the packaging. The bag came split on the side and charcoal was leaking out. So I put the charcoal in zip locks in another container. That said the product itself looks good. Umm how should charcoal look? It was clean and shiny and looks to be the correct grain size for my use. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.us/products/46682255-envirosupply-premium-12x40-coconut-shell-activated-carbon-water-filtration-aquarium](https://www.desertcart.us/products/46682255-envirosupply-premium-12x40-coconut-shell-activated-carbon-water-filtration-aquarium) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-05-18*
