I assume this is what you're referring to:
http://www.homedepot.ca/product/filt...-500361/923082

3500ml of Rox carbon weights about 1.4 kg and costs under $40, many other types of carbon is available for half that.
That is a smaller filter that they had there. The one I was talking about is probably 3 - 4 times the size of that.
