Does this filter contain carbon
1525908
No, I have a whole house water filtration system that is installed at the entry of the water lines just after the water meter. The AP810 cartridge is not intended as a water purifier, it is only to remove debris, contaminates and some metals that appear in the typical water supply. This filter will prevent anything reaching your plumbing fixtures and keeping your faucets free of particle buildup that prevents frequent maintenance for long periods. I have used the Aqua-Pure system and cartridges for nine years and I am very glad that I have. Hope this answers your question.

Yes Marge. We use a carbon filter as it removes chlorine, iron,organics from our private well. I trust you and your family are doing well. Kindest regards, Lynn

Yes, the permanent filter is for dust and allergens. The carbon pads are just to absorb odors and are not needed just for dust and allergens.

I think it comes with everything you need for the filter! I put bio chem zorb (can be used up to 2 month)in to chemical cartridge and some granular ferric oxide, instead of regular carbon. I have reef tank with fluval g6 + vortech pump mp40w and led light! Works great!

The carbon filter on the front of the filters collect a lot of dust. I vacuum it clean once in a while. For your question, I would say yes.

I don't remember. i know when i was researching there was more than one layer in the explanation picture on their web site . . . so at least two typse of filtering. i think it is partical & carbon at the least, but i am not sure. i am over due for a replacement filter - it lasted quite a while. i am not unhappy with this persay, but i like the taste of the water from the piter i used to keep in the fridge better.

Yes, take out the plastic holding the carbon filter to filter water. Definitely use a filter in the coffee basket when making the coffee.

Probably since it comes with a filter cartridge and a basket for carbon granules..........also due to the large filtration capacity...take your pick as to what makes sense to you but it is an awesome filter and the only one I have used for years and years............

I have wrapped this filter around the larger filter and vacuumed it once in the past sixty days. I believe this filter is a mesh of tiny nylon fibers. I have looked over the package and see nothing that indicates carbon even though its black in color. As for washing this filter, I will not. I plan to replace it after the 90 day period as I believe the instructions recommend. I'm no expert on this but I would not think you would encounter a messy condition if you tried to wash it carefully but that's your call.

It comes with active carbon, the filter, and the biological wheels. I used it on a marine aquarium so that's all I needed. Customer service is great also.

it has a carbon filter witch is way better than just the plain white filters. but carbon filters absorb just so much and than stop working. use the plastic bag when not in use to last longer. what it is capable of absorbing is hard to say. i use for keeping blown up dust when mowing grass. and helps keep smell out when target shooting indoors.i bought extra carbon filters to change each time i reach about 40hrs of use.

I really don't know the answer to your question -- but I'd certainly like to know "just in case" I need the information in the future. The main problem I have is the bits of charcoal that continually come through the filter (especially weekly when I'm running a strong stream of hot water through it to help "clean" it.) Good luck.

That is carbon from the filter. It is not abnormal for it to happen, it just usually doesn't.

It has a carbon based prefilter but if the cause is mold or mildew you will have to remove it first.

NO! I purchased it and the carbon filter is slightly longer and fits differently. I could not completely close the canister and water went everywhere. Unless I have a defective one, they don't fit.

it does not, it is only the filter and i suggest you purchase a spare set of filters
