yup, you are right, usaly 3 days to 1 week would be the amount of time in which the carbon will use up about 70% of its effectivness.. then the rate slows down.. it still removes stuff just much slower.

Jack, look at the container at walmart.. then go to a fhish store and look for the container that is the same shap, same color, but different name..

Same stuff just repackaged for wally world.. at a 1/4 to 1/5th the price
