Sorry Katch.
My intent was to express the idea that who knows what. I may have been on a roll at the time and merely thought I was making some sense.
The idea of a regenerated carbon adsorber is a bit exotic in its theory. The 100C water will indeed provide a small improvement in the adsorption ability of your carbon but it will not be anywhere near good enough to replace the charcoal that a manufacturer can produce with anaerobic combustion processes as are often used to establish activated charcoal, as opposed to carbon. The real problem that I see is not that there is something wrong with your carbon but that it is not properly established to have the right adsorption characteristics. The boiling water, 100DC, is simply not effective enough to be worthwhile, in my opinion.
