    Activated Charcoal

    Okay all of you guru's. What grade of activated charcoal do you put into your homemade filter systems. It is obviously not the same grade or grit that you use to nutralize soil.
    Where do you purchase it and exactly what do you ask for.
    Thanks in advance Kathy

    El D .. just don't make it pen sized. It would take too many
    of them to be affective..
