Carbon filters are not sufficient. They remove chlorine and organics from water, but they don’t remove minerals.

If you want to use a filter to make water for your carnivorous plants, it has to be a reverse osmosis or deionization filter.

Carbon filters will remove some minerals, but generally not much. It's not what they're designed for. You either need a filter that also contains DI resin (the ZeroWater brand is the only one I'm aware of) or a reverse osmosis system.

I use my tap water because it's less than 50ppm. Otherwise I just let the rain do the watering for me.
