Activated carbon is the kind that is used in gas masks. I own a s10 british army gas mask with an activated carbon filter. The activated carbon has a huge surface area so it can absorb impurities in the air, but I dont know if it is sutable for water, Luke

You can buy charcoal ( carbon ) filters from most of the suppliers but I have my doubts as to whether they are necessary for window cleaning.
Activated charcoal takes out a number of impurities (mostly gases like chlorine) that would affect the flavour of the water if you were going to drink the stuff and might be harmful to sensitive fish.

As our systems aren't used for drinking water or fish keeping I doubt it makes much difference. The only thing we are interested in are solids that mark the glass.
