have inside the carbon filter?

No, it is a fiber filter, but a carbon filter can be used and will fit. Easy to change filter.

Open the top valve. Also, you may want to drain a couple of cups out of the filter by opening both valves and bending the hose from the lower connection over (this will keep water from pouring when you remove the top). Then, to prime after you put the top back on, open both valves and pour tank water in to the hose to replace what you drained out. I can open mine to remove or add carbon without spilling a drop on the floor. Hope this helps!

There is a carbon element but it's limited in capacity. It would be better to run that water through a gravity feed filter with large carbon cartridges. Like Berkey Black elements. Or let it evaporate if you have time. Berkey elements can be made into a bucket filter with two buckets stacked, about 100 bucks for the elements and then buckets and a spigot at the base. Clear plastic buckets nice to see fill level. Aquarium supplies make a liquid that binds up chlorine for fish use if I recall. That may help in pretreatment. Amquel? Forget been a long time.

There is a carbon filter that comes with the unit. It fits in the top of the clear container that the distilled water drips into. If you empty the clear container into another storage container, say one in your fridge, the carbon filter just pops out, you pour the water into the other container and pop it back in.

Hi. Do you mean the outer white pre filter? If so, I believe it's just made out of felt. The inside carbon can't be replaced. It should work for about a year before needing to be replaced.

Yes. You get one green frame, 12 white covers, 12 activated carbon (charcoal) bags. You reuse the green frame, put the white cover over it, pour the activated carbon in, lock the top of the green frame, then insert into the filter holder of your tank. It's really easy to do.

I really don't know the answer to your question -- but I'd certainly like to know "just in case" I need the information in the future. The main problem I have is the bits of charcoal that continually come through the filter (especially weekly when I'm running a strong stream of hot water through it to help "clean" it.) Good luck.

The filter is located on the right side, near the front. Just pull it out and clean it.

I use them in a canister filter encased in a mesh bag to prevent from making a mess. It would be difficult to replace them if you placed them in the gravel bed. I suppose you could place them in the gravel (a mesh bag would make it easier to collect them later). I replace the carbon every 3 months.

I haven't had to replace mine yet, but you would just call the company and tell them which model you have. They would send you the correct filter. I received an e-mail reminder after just a few months also, but wasn't ready to replace the filter yet. What you will be replacing if you have the carbon block, is just another carbon block filter like the one that you already have.

A good practice when you use a new filter is to tap several times it on your countertop to compact the carbon particles - the more compact the filter the better it filter the water. More details on functionality and alternative options here: http://www.amazon.com/review/RIWWJR12SNLQW/

The carbon filter is laying on top of the HEPA filter. So when you open it up,, there is a tight seal on the carbon filter which is pushed against the HEPA filter. It's kind of hard to explain, but the door is what presses the carbon and seals, so to speak, the HEPA.

It doesn't say on the Amazon description but mines came with 4 extra carbon filters.

Yes. Inside the cap there is a small clip and it securely holds the charcoal filter. I find this an easy to use and effective product.

Not enough info.Are you talking about the back of the refrig or inside the refrig around the filter.

The carbon filters come with this unit. It says in the instructions that you can use it with or without the carbon filters. And my unit also has an air duct outside. I use the carbon filters to help eliminate the cooking odors.
