If I guess right it should speed the airing of a neutral spirit.
I have not tried this, but it should throw some of the higher congeners out of the spirit.
Leading to a cleaner hearts cut.

At one time I used 3 Water filter jugs that I got out of charity shops, it worked to a point, but that was about 10 years back. Things have moved on , and I don't filter any-more. I produce clean brews using Vodka Star yeast then use an air stone on the finished product.

I works out cheaper, less smell, and a lot less hassle.

Just a few cut and pastes from the item you link to -

food grade clear tubing

black elbow at the bottom of the filter. The spirit then travels up through a filter screen then a plastic grill which holds the GAC carbon in place.

through a foam filter pad a plastic grill and a filter screen before leaving the filter at the top out the John Guest quick connect white elbow fitting. The filtered spirit goes down the small blue tubing

That is a lot of undefined plastic!

I wouldn't use it, and I am not the biggest plastic hater in home distilling.

My advice, stick with copper.
HDPE is second best (Essencia).
Whoops forgot Stainless.

It will be of no use for alcohol methinks.
What is it made of?
What do you wish to do with it?
