what type of filter is this? Does it have any carbon?

There is no mention of carbon in the materials enclosed with the product. And it is a "HEPA-type" filter. Here is the number for customer care 800.875-8577. They should be able to tell you.

The filter is made of a white fiberglass product. The outer part is a corrugated white, stiff product and the inner part looks like a spun fiberglass. It looks a lot like the round, cylindrical swimming pool filters if you're familiar with those. it's easy to remove and clean.

Only the carbon "post filter" cups. Not bad though, I refresh mine by running boiling distilled water through them after about 60 gallons or so. They come in boxes of six from Waterwise and I get two years out of a box. I distill a gallon of water (sometimes two) every day.

The only thing that is listed on the outside of the filter is:Coconutshell Carbon GAC/Activated Alumina FilterI have used this filter for awhile in the states, and I ordered where we are not in Europe and I cannot say enough good things about it.It really is very good.

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

NO--only reverse osmosis filters do because it is a mineral. This carbon cartridge filter is excellent have used 2 brands over 35 years--best for home use.

as an aside to the previous question. I just looked at the DrinkWell Zen fountain and they show the Charcoal filters as replacements.

This filter does have a charcoal layer inside it about 1/16" thick. I cut a used one I had in half to make sure. 3M even says you can use these for painting. It is listed in the specs for this filter. I would recommend the 60926 filter if you do a lot of painting though. The 60926 just makes you feel very safe. The P2097 is fine for light use IMO.

The filter that came with unit does not remove carbon. The ap 817 is the filter that reduces carbon.

It comes with one foam, one biomax, and one carbon. These three components are the filter. I change out the carbon every month or so. The foam may need cleaning after a while, and the biomax shouldn't need to be replaced for several months unless you want to. Is this what you mean by filter?

Yes a sediment filter, but of the same size 5 micron. The idea is that the sediment filter's job is to get the "junk" out it's a physical barrier, the carbon filters are there to deal with chemically removing stuff from water not physically blocking. If you go with a large sized filter before you're going to let through things that are less than 20 microns and those will end up clogging these carbon filters since they will then become your physical barrier for stuff larger than 5micron.

I believe that is carbon residue. Before you install the filter for the very first time, rinse it thoroughly with tap water

Yes,there is a carbon type organic filter and replaceable particulate filters in the retainers . These small white particulate pads can be bought in bulk and replaced as needed ,usually two are in each retainer when you buy it .

The filter that comes with it is a 5 micron carbon filter... I bought 2 canisters and replaced one of the carbon filters with a 2 micron sediment filter as the primary and carbon filter as the secondary... Works great. Clean great tasting water

No, it is a fiber filter, but a carbon filter can be used and will fit. Easy to change filter.

Yes it is the last step to the water processing, although in the 20 last years i have used one I have not needed the filter. It is there to smooth out the taste using carbon. This is very much a personal preference

Filter has carbon to help reduce odors. Works very well and removes the strongest cooking odors with ease.

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.
