    I reconditioned a secondhand HEPA filter that used activated carbon pellets (6X20mm) by replacing the carbon. The pellets were sourced from an aquarium supply store in 25kg bags for USD $130.

    I did notice that the carbon was available on ebay, but postage was a killer.

    I did try to recondition the pellets by cooking in an oven with terrible results. The smell from cooking off the pellets was horrid, probably toxic and would outlast religion; it was that stinky. The paper filters inside were vacuumed clean.

    Activated Carbon Pellets

    Not familiar with your unit... but as you get further along you might like to know that activated carbon pellets can be purchased from Ecologix Environmental Systems, LLC: Category

    Good Luck,
