You don't have to worry anymore about getting the right size filter for your kitchen compost buckets. These replacement filters will work in both the 1.4 gallon kitchen compost bucket and the 2.4 gallon kitchen compost bucket. These are carbon activated filters for controlling odors. The odors are trapped inside these carbon activated filters as they pass by the filter and eliminating the smell before it gets to your nose.
Carbon activated filters are simply charcoal that has gone through a special manufacturing technique and been treated with oxygen. The carbon filters will absorb organic and some chemical smells such as chlorine. However, there are some odors that will pass right through the carbon filters such as sodium or nitrates. The carbon filters are made up of pores and once these pores are full then you will need to replace the carbon activated filter.
For best results and odor control always change your carbon filter approximately every three (3) months. The life of each filter is 3 months. However, you can change it at the three (3) month invals as recommended or wait till you get the slightest smell coming from your kitchen compost buckt before you change it. Waiting will only extend the life of your filters a little and then they will have to be changed for them to absorb the odors properly again. Some filters will last longer than three (3) months and depends on how much you are using your kitchen compost bucket.
