The method of claim 3, wherein the moss has been washed with an acidic solution. 15. The method of claim 3, wherein the moss has been washed with a solution of acetic acid. 16. The method of claim 3, wherein the moss has been washed with an acidic solution and then washed with a salt solution. 17. A method of treating water comprising contacting water with a device for use in water, the device comprising: (i) a carrier having an interior cavity and one or more openings allowing ingress to and egress from the interior cavity; and (ii) a moss contained within the interior cavity, wherein the carrier completely encloses the moss, wherein the moss is non-decomposed moss, and wherein the moss is selected from the group consisting of sphagnum papillosum, sphagnum cristatum, and mixtures thereof, and wherein the water contacts the moss contained within the interior cavity and the water is treated by contact with the moss. 18. The method of claim 17, wherein the carrier comprises a float. 19. The method of claim 17, wherein the carrier comprises one or more weights. 20. The method of claim 17, wherein the moss is sphagnum papillosum. 21. The method of claim 17, wherein the moss is sphagnum cristatum. 22. The method of claim 17, wherein the moss comprises sphagnum papillosum only. 23. The method of claim 17, wherein the moss comprises sphagnum cristatum only. 24. The method of claim 17, wherein the moss comprises a mixture of sphagnum papillosum and sphagnum cristatum only. 25. The method of claim 17, wherein the moss is compressed. 26. The method of claim 25, wherein the moss is in the form of strips. 27. The method of claim 17, wherein the moss has been sterilized. 28. The method of claim 17, wherein the moss has been washed with an acidic solution. 29. The method of claim 17, wherein the moss has been washed with a solution of acetic acid. 30. The method of claim 17, wherein the moss has been washed with an acidic solution and then washed with a salt solution. 31. A method of treating water comprising contacting water with a device for use in water, the device comprising: (i) a carrier having an interior cavity and one or more openings allowing ingress to and egress from the interior cavity; and (ii) a moss contained within the interior cavity, wherein the carrier completely encloses the moss, wherein the moss is non-decomposed and compressed, and wherein the moss is in the form of strips, and wherein the water contacts the moss contained within the interior cavity and the water is treated by contact with the moss. 32. The method of claim 31, wherein the carrier comprises a float. 33. The method of claim 31, wherein the carrier comprises one or more weights. 34. The method of claim 31, wherein the moss is sphagnum moss. 35. The method of claim 31, wherein the moss is sphagnum papillosum. 36. The method of claim 31, wherein the moss is sphagnum cristatum. 37.
