the sand and gravel provide physical filtering of the water, and remove large particles.

The Charcoal has very small pores, and a large surface area. it removes smaller particles and absorbs some chemicals and odors.

Should you dry out the Charcoal Water filter in your coffee maker?

Only if your water has a tainted taste or odour. Just run 1 cup of vinegar and 4 cups of water through your coffeemaker once a month then run a pot of straight water through after and no need for a charcoal filter.

No, a charcoal filter is not typically needed for a microwave. Microwaves usually come with a grease filter to trap grease and food particles, which can be washed and reused.

What is the best order to put sand pebbles gravel and cotton balls to filter dirty water to make it clean water?

If you think about it, you need to remove the big stuff before you can remove the smaller stuff. By putting pebbles on top, it will filter out things like other rocks, twigs and the like. Gravel will filter out anything smaller that gets past the pebbles, and sand will do the same. It's all a matter of scale. The cotton balls will filter out the smallest possible detritus.

Do you have to hand clean your fish tank if you have a filter?

filters only filter the water they don't clean the walls of the tank or the gravel in your tank. you still need to move rocks and plants to get to the crap left behind that the filter cant get. you should do this when you clean your filter. depending on what sort of fish you have they can clean the tank for you cichlids will definitely clean the gravel for you as they build nests like birds and are always sucking up rocks. you should try to get a catfish as these are bottom feeders and they will stir the water up for you as well. you can get some catfish that will go good with goldfish as well.
