I have an old water softener from a previous house. My new house needs a whole house charcoal filter. Can I change out the softener media for activated charcoal and use the same filter for whole house removal of taste etc.? If so, what steps are required?
Thanks for offering your experience. RO really won’t work for me because of my water volume. Am hoping to be able to exchange the media for charcoal in a traditional softener.

I mean, it’s a charcoal filter. Wouldn’t that filter pee into something drinkable?
I really don’t want to spend money on one unless I can drink my own urine.

For homebrew, I need a water source free of chlorine (or chloramine, which is chlorine+ammonia).

Will a charcoal filter out chloramine? Standard pitcher filters like Brita? What else?
