They are different for sure and the stuff for filtering water doesn't work for filtering air.The carbon found when i disassembled a huge one was cylindrical pellet type, not the crushed dusty type.

Super Skunk LoLAir compressor with air gun attachment with 120lbs of pressure blows them out really easily.
Super Skunk LolI use to build my filters back in late 90s early 2000s but they don't get the carbon as compacted as the store bought ones. I still have some carbon i bought off ebay way back then, i used alot of it on my aquarium filters before i got a non carbon filtration system. Store bought filters work so much better and the prices don't bother me for piece of mind.
Don't get me started on HID lights, I could have a bowling alley with how many old 1k bulbs I have sitting around. I throw nothing away grow related out of fear.
Whats 5 inches beyween friends?Nice filter, the one I'm buying is only 19 inches

That's what I do reverse the fan and let it blow for 10 minutes. Seems to even blow the smell out of the charcoal so do it somewhere you can get away with the smell . I also lightly hit the filter with a stick all over to help loosen everything up.My fan pulls air through my filter and exhausts outside. I do eventually notice a reduction in airflow and i seem to lose the negative pressure in my tent probably due to dusty environment.
My solution is to disassemble the fan and filter and then flip the fan and ise that to blow everything out of the filter. I then put it back together and it seems to work fine.
