carbon filter??

[Dookz]

so i dont think i want to buy a inline fan combo with a filter, the deals on amazon are not wat i consider name brand enough and up to the task kind of offers ( they look cheap and bad reviews )

im gonna be ordering a 6in inline fan 440 cfms 125 watt


now im looking for a carbon filter that is great for a size of 4x4 or 5x5 or less that will cover the smell and do its job properly....

anyone have any specific details and help they can throw my way on deciding for a filter

You want a filter with more cfms than your fan......

 

[dbkick]

are you gonna recirculate in the tent or exhaust?

 

[dbkick]

you'll only need a higher cfm fan if you're gonna recirculate in the room. if exhausting you'll use a lower cfm fan and matching filter. probably a can 33 would do, I run a can 50 with a 750 cfm fan and recirculate. if I were exhausting the fan cfm would want to be about half that.This is in a 8 by 5 room, the can 50 does the trick.

when you figure it works out to about 2 cents a day to run its not a lot.errr , several cents, my math :/

whats this recirculate in the room all about im a little confused as to why you would want to recirculate air back into you room?

i was under the impression that you should always exhaust the hot air and have fresh air comeing from an active intake.

 

[Dookz]

thanks royal im with you as recirculating your air is a no no, im exhausting the air

 

[Dookz]

and the carbon filter listed above is just about if not a few more than my hydrofarm inline will be by a few numbers... do i need the same cfm's or more? i dont understand that

 

[RoYalQuEenChEeSe]

i all ways go for filters with more than my fan but one that is matched will do sound..

if you pick one with less cfms than your fan it will not be efficient cuz the filter cant handle the air flow

 

[dbkick]

if you run co2 recirculating isn't a no no. it's a must.

iPower 6" Inch Air Carbon Filter Odor Control with Australia Virgin Charcoal for inline fan, 420 CFM



the filter is 20 cfms more than your fan

if he was running co2 dont you think he would say? and would he be posting in newbi central co2 is a little more advanced wouldn't you say?

 

[dbkick]

fans are matched to filters because the air has to contact the carbon for a certain period of time,you pull if over the carbon too fast with a big ass fan and it won't totally scrub the air, good luck and happy shopping.

I would say maybe that depends on the person but I've run co2 from day one.

Sorry to interrupt thread but was wondering do I have to change carbon filter once a while or do they last forever?

 

[dbkick]

once a year or so depending on a lot of things, one main thing being humidity.
