Since the bulk carbon filter for my Honeywell envirocare filter cost $110+ and it neads replaced every 6 months I have been looking for sources for bulk carbon.

Pop the lid and one could just empty the old and fill it with new. I searched the industrial sites and aquarium sites for bulk carbon but only found the qt. containers available through the aquarium sites.

Theres got to be asource out there somewhere because Honeywell doesn't just manufacture it themselves. Maybe industrial aquarium filtrations sites?

Anyone want to try there luck?

My air filtration system is the largest Honeywell makes and set me back $350 on sale. A three stage precarbon pad/hepa/carbon filter system would be the ticket. According to Consumer Reports the hepa filter systems out perform the ionizers like the cloakers.

Ya can't get out of the hepa but if the carbon filter were cheaper then there are tons of thes systems in closets just waiting for us to buy on the cheap!
 
Ok...old thread...and I don't have an answer to the question....thou a do have another question....

Where can I get an inexpensive HEPA filter?

I have the "Whirlpool Whispure 510 Hepa" and need a filter.

Are generic ones available....the cheapest I've found were at $60.
 
I have bought in bulk jugs of 3.5 liters at a pet store. The name was Pet Supplies Plus and is a chain with stores all over the country. Cost was like $30 for the regular version and $35 for the research grade activated carbon about a year ago I think. I used a kitchen collender (strainer) to filter out the tiny broken pieces. DO NOT DO THIS INDOORS!!!!! It would be a bad mistake as the carbon uncontrollably gets all over everything. BE FOREWARNED!!!!

Gary see what you did. Know everyone is answering Gunpowders question and not yours! Are you happy now :whistling:
 
Stay out of the cow patties Gary and leave the damn 3 yr old threads alone.
 
Well noob that I am, I did not notice how old the original post was...doh.

I do know how to make homemade filters though.

I've got the same machine and just order from National Allergy. 4 pre filters and a hepa for $90 a year.
That's $7.50 a month. I can live with that. Runs 24/7, quiet, and works great. How do you like yours?
