Has anyone tried reusing the shell of a carbon filter(after it has been used), drill out the rivets, remove the spent carbon replace and re-rivet?
If so, questions,
1) what is the best carbon to use?
2) from reading pelletized and tightly packed carbon works best(you want as much surface face on the carbon to aid in filteration process), so should I find a method of applying extreme pressure when packing the new carbon in the filter or is hand packing good enough?
Ive found some companies here in SOCALi that sell the carbon(coconut activated carbon, and coal based activated carbon). they sell it fir as cheap as 4$ per pound as low as 55lbs incraments. some places online sell 25$ fir 25lbs.
