If your interested in buying GAC in 50 lb bags which would need to be properly stored in sealed containers you can find some good buys on line or at local water filtration stores. You need to know what you are looking for though to get the right kind. Other than this, BRS has good prices for smaller amounts.

I agree that carbon needs careful storage. Air exposure will inactivate the carbon over time, for example. How much does your system use per month?
