1. What is the purpose of the charcoal filters?

Activated charcoal filters removes the volatile organic compounds and other impurities that water distiller did not remove. 

2. During which stage of the distilling process is the charcoal filter used?

The final stage, after the steam has been condensed back into water.

3. Are the carbon filters reusable?

No, the activated charcoal is not reusable. They should be changed at least once a month. A distiller comes with 6 active charcoal filters (6 months supply). 

4. Why does the distiller require a carbon filter if the water produced by condensation is sterile and pure?

Water distillers can allow a very small percentage of impurities (VOCs), which boil at temperatures below or very close to water. Activated carbon filters for water distillers remove these impurities. 

5. Are these filters are the equivalent to the triangular filter pods for the H20 Labs distillers? 

Yes, these function in the same way as the H20 lab ones do. These are also food grade.

6. Do they remove metallic taste from distilled water?

Yes, charcoal filters remove odours and makes your water tastes fresh and clean.

7. How long do activated charcoal filter last? 

This depends on how often you use your water distiller. For daily users we recommend changing the filter at least once a month. 

8. Do they remove fluoride?

These activated carbon filters take out chlorine, sulphur, oil, phenol, gelatin and any other organic pollutants. Additionally, they eliminate any outstanding impurity and odour which the water distiller did not take out.
