Activated Charcoal can be used in a filter to purify the water (It will filter fine stuff like most medications out too). It does however appear to have a major drawback in that once it is saturated and can hold no more, it has been know to release its toxic load and contaminate the tank. Care must be taken when using it and it MUST be replaced very regularly to avoid the posibility of the problem described occuring.
