Carbon Choices

We offer the following carbon choices for our air purifiers. Carbon can be ordered in either bulk packaging or standard packaging. Receive a 20% discount if you order BULK packaging. We do not recommend washing of any of our carbon medias, as we feel that this will reduce the service time and performance.
Most of the carbons on this page will last 6-9 months in a residential or office setting, but air quality will always affect the life of any filter media.

Order 6 lbs. or more of any media, (except Zeolite which requires 10 lbs or more), and get free shipping in the Continental USA.

• Standard Mix
  60% Coconut shell carbon / 40% Purapel (potassium permanganate) is our longest lasting media. It removes the widest variety of chemicals, fumes and odors.
• Coconut Shell
  Coconut shell carbon is a good media choice for removal of mold mycotoxins, perfume, paint odors, ozone, petroleum gases & odors, pet odors, food odors, pesticides, VOCs and many other chemicals, fumes and odors.
• Purapel
  Potassium permanagnate and activated alumina compound is the perfect choice to remove formaldehyde from indoor air.
• Wood
  Wood carbon is similiar to Coconut shell carbon in its ability to absorb chemicals, fumes and odors. The density is less than Coconut shell and therefore will only last about 50-60% of the life of Coconut shell.
• Lignite
  Lignite carbon is coal based and is used as an alternative to Coconut shell. It will absorb the same odors, gases and fumes as Coconut shell, but due to 10-15% less density it will not last as long as that media. We carry this product for people that may have a sensitivity to Coconut shell carbon.
• Bituminous
  Bituminous carbon is a coal based alternative to Coconut shell carbon. It will remove the same types of chemicals, fumes, and odors as that media, but due to 10-15% less density it will not last as long. This media is used by many of our customers who may have a sensitivity to Coconut shell carbon.
• Zeolite
  Zeolite is a great media for ammonia odors and for urine odor. Add to your kitty litter box to help keep odor to a minimum.
• Formaldehyde Control
  Formaldehyde control coconut shell is a good alternative for Purapel if you are senstive to that media. Great for formaldehyde control and many other fumes, odors and chemicals that Coconut shell can absorb.
• Mercury Vapor Control
  Great media choice for dental offices if silver/mercury amalgams are present. This media will remove mercury vapor from air at ambient room temperatures.
• Custom Mix
  Custom blend the carbon mix that is best for your situation. The price quoted is a minimum cost. The price may be more depending on the type of carbon that is being mixed. Specify your desired mix in the box on the ordering page.
