Dave,
Replacing the charcoal in the cannister is pretty easy. Unscrew the
bottom, stand back while the spring tosses charcoal granules skyward,
remove whatever is left. Reassemble with new charcoal from the fish
department of your local pet store, make a new filter pad of scotchbrite
to replace the rubber one that is probably shot, screw the bottom back on
and the job is done.
