How do you run your carbon? If it tumbles or moves at all it will grind against itself and release fines into the water which would explain why your socks etc are turning black.

The carbon is in a phosban reactor. It does tumble a little. I can turn the flow into the reactor down and see if the black goes away.
Thanks
