Carbon Filter

[Sub5mango]

Can anyone recommend any seperate carbon filters? The only I've seen is the this one https://www.katadyn.com/en/de/268-8013450-active-carbon-bottle-adaptor

I want something I can use with a sawyer squeeze.

I use the Platypus inline filter.
Put it in the output side (clean water) and it removes any lingering 'taste'.

Available all over the place, this was just the 1st link that came up on google

It is the 'small' white cylinder just below the 'maroon kit-case'

Thanks. Excuse my ignorance but is that activated carbon or just carbon? And is the carbon replaceable?

Apparently 'activated'

Replaceable ? - No it is use and dispose - it will filter a minimum of 300 litres.

It supposedly removes organic compounds and improves the taste. It certainly does remove 'earthiness' taste from standing water.

Hi Alan
Can you recall where that case came from? Seeking a clam style case for similar duty.
Thanks

Malaysia Airlines 'give away goody bag' (mask, shampoo, soap, toothbrush, slippers etc etc)

Most airlines give something similar.
