Can one reuse carbon air filters?

I have a Vornado HEPA air filter. I finally got around to changing the carbon filter today and noticed there was a thick layer of grey dust on it. After shaking it out outside, it looks pretty much like a new one. Is there any invisible and/or chemical difference in a used carbon filter that would make it undesirable to reuse. or can one reuse a carbon filter after merely shaking the dust loose?

I was wondering if anybody knows what happens after you use your carbon water filter long enough so that it’s no longer filtering stuff out of the water. Does it just give you unfiltered water, basically? Or is there a downside risk to using a filter past its useful lifetime?

I read somewhere recently that a carbon filter could actually start dumping the stuff it’s already filtered out once it gets overloaded, making the water even more contaminated than just tap water. But… I don’t know whether that is really possible or likely and, if so, under what conditions. Maybe somebody in the water filter industry was just trying to scare me into buying filters more often. Does anyone have any good info on this?
