IS THERE A DIFFERENCE IN PURCHASING DIFFERENT BRANDS OF CARBONS?
Yes and no. Different companies use different mixtures of carbon sources. Manufacturers may retreive their carbon source from animal bones, coal, coconut shell or even wood. Different combinations and treatments to the carbon changes how the carbon will react from types of chemical absorption to amount of absorption. For standard treatments such as chlorine, taste and odor, the difference is small and usually just varies on the amount of absorption which is rated in gallons. The one may concern is whether or not the carbon leeches anything into the water. As long as you purchase carbon from a reputable WQA dealer, than you will most likely avoid this concern.
