APPARATUS FOR FILTERING WATER

The present invention relates to water filters and cartridges for water filters. A refillable cartridge allows the user to dispose of the used activated charcoal and replace it with clean activated charcoal without throwing away its container. A container configured to engage with a serving vessel has a removable lid and contains granulated, activated charcoal. The container and removable lid have appropriate holes to allow water to flow through the container without allowing the granulated activated charcoal to fall through. The container may have a conical frustum fomi with a screened bottom and removable top. The conical frustum form is filled with activated charcoal and the top is fastened closed. The form may be placed over the opening of a vessel while water is poured through the screened top, thus flowing through the activated charcoal, through the bottom of the conical frustum and into the vessel. L'invention concerne également un appareil de filtration d'eau avec un réceptacle ou cartouche de charbon actif rechargeable.
