Do you need to remove sediment from well water? Do you have municipal water and want to remove chlorine or chloramine to improve taste and appearance? Is Fluoride or heavy metals affecting the quality of your drinking water? Do you need to recycle and reuse water from a commercial application? Then the R5 Water Filters™ allow you to use the proper filter for the right job.
Our business model here at Charcoal House is Purify and Beautify™. Keeping both you and the environment healthy is our focus. While most companies only offer disposable filters that just add more plastic to landfills, we carry the new refillable filters that allow you to replace the spent charcoal in minutes at a fraction of the cost of buying a whole new unit.
These filters can be reused up to 25 times. Right there you save an average of $4 per change. For a 4 family household (depending on the quality of the water source) you can change out these filters every 5-6 months.
Because R5 Water Filters™ are re-useable, you can save even more money by purchasing a gallon of our Firebrand™ Granular Charcoal to do up to 6 changes.
The filter media options are:
- Firebrand™ Coconut GAC 12x30 AW - for chlorine removal
- Firebrand™ Catalytic GAC 20x50 - for chloramine removal
- Firebrand™ Wood-based GAC 8x16 - for well water
- Firebrand™ Bonechar 8x24 - for Fluoride and Heavy Metal removal
- Firebrand™ Anthracite GAC 4x10 - for Discoloration removal
- Firebrand™ Catalytic GAC 12x40 - for Sulfur Odor/Taste removal
Starting out you can:
Purchase a pre-filled Refillable Cartridge with the media of your choice. Or
Purchase the Empty Refillable Cartridges and then choose the filter media that best matches your water contamination.
- Simply remove the end cap, the retainer, and add the right media.
- Uses a 3/4" Inlet/Outlet

Left Over Charcoal?
Lastly – what about that spent charcoal? We put it into our compost to control odor, and when it all goes into our garden it acts as a charcoal reef for friendly root microorganisms. A charcoal reef is the same idea as a coral reef except on dry land. Mycorrhizae and other root organisms love it – but that is not my department. Go to the Gardens Category.
