You won't find many here whove used them. If any at all. I say buy it and try it. Looks like you don't have much more option anyways.

AirROS by Sage Industrial
This is a new product that can handle the strong odors generated by a flowering room.
It maintains ozone levels that are 1/3 to 1/2 of the OSHA standards. So it's safe for you and your plants.
So with this product in your room running 24/7, things like powdery mildew, botrytis are history. The controller will ramp up output as biomass increases, automatically keeping up with odor.
Power usage is VERY low, a unit for a 5000 cuft space will draw less than 30 watts!
Linked are some PDF files with more information about the AirROS product. Please feel free to drop me a PM if you have more questions. I have a good relationship with their staff as I am a consultant for many commercial grows and I may be able to get you a discount on a unit if you are interested. I would need to know the dimensions (LxWxH) or just the cubic feet of your space in order to size the unit appropriately.
Just hooked up a new Vortex ProLite 4x16 filter to a Hydrofarm Active-Air 165CFM fan. Just used a short piece of ducting between the two and then ducted straight out the side of the tent back into the basement. Its a 3x3x6 tent with 3-5 plants in flower. I was using Ona Gel in the basement which does help but a few strains are danky so I needed more. Since Ive hooked up the filter, so far its working great. Im venting back into the room but it stays cool and Im using an LED so heat is not an issue. The basement is like 18x20 and the tent is 3x3x6. Plenty of air naturally coming in, IMO. I do have windows down there but dont feel the need to vent out at this stage. I open one window here and there as needed but if its hot out or cold out the windows stay closed. Im pretty happy - the air coming out of the exhaust duct smells like nothing whatsoever. Thats the idea. Its not too loud either and very smooth.
I just have to manage watering/entering the tent for service. Early morning is best. And, upstairs we always burn candles, use Glades, etc, etc. It takes a team to really fight off the late flower smells. We have always done candles & Glades(way before we ever wanted to do our small grow) so people are used to various smells in our house. I think we got it covered. Heres a quick tips list:

- Carbon filtering is well worth it. No two ways about it.
- One Gel is a good product and does help overall
- You can exhaust back into the basement if you're using a smaller grow tent with zero issues.
- For #3 to be true you must have a solid setup and negative vacuum in the tent. The tent walls will slightly bow inward and a small sheet of paper(as a test, dont leave it there, lol) at your passive lower air intake will suction to that area. That means yer good.
- Candles(good quality ones), Glades, incense, etc are all worth having going as much as possible, even during low odor times. It makes your house a "candle" house and smells are always varying.

All depends on the size of your space. Feel free to PM me with specifications of your space (LxWxH). A unit that's sized for a 5000 cuft flowering room lists for about $4300, a unit sized for a 24,000 cuft flowering room lists for about $6,300. I have established a good relationship with AirROS as I consult for a lot of commercial grows so I might be able to get a little discount for you.

Here is a link to the post I just made after unboxing the AirROS demo unit and firing it up.
Control odor & sterilize your room air + surfaces 24/7 + eliminate PM
Ok folks, hear me now and thank me later. This is for the more commercially minded growers out there who want to control odor AND prevent any issues with mold / mildew / bacteria. https://www.airrosbysage.com/ This device uses a sensor to maintain proper levels of ozone and 7 different...

Very helpful thread! Thanks
Not totally lose it but its NOT optimal. It will shorten the lifespan of the filter too if left at that level for a log time. The humidity should be kept at 60% or less at all times. My setup runs at about 52% to 55% and that gives me basically 99.99% smell control. The plants like it inflower too. Too much humidity isnt good for anything, really.

I have a 8*12 room with a veg tent 4*4 and 5x5 flower. The tents are passive venting out to a small vented attic with a 10” scrubber just incase. I have temp issues, even fan all the way on I think I hit 90-91 in heat of summer.
These two tents contain flood tables. I want to get a mini ac with humidifer and carbon filter. I saw prices around 500-600. I would keep the carbon filters in the tents venting but to the room outside the tent. I would have a fan and carbon filter. Install y splitter to both tents to input air.
Any thoughts on this. Someone mentioned split ac I def can’t put that on the side of my house. Is it worth it to break from passive.

I think so. But if what you have works currently you know what they say....if it ain't broke don't fix it!

Ozone is dangerous. Very dangerous if you are chronically exposed. I would certainly never consider using it in a grow. Even an un-attended one.
Why use a toxic gas to remove odour when activated carbon will do the job perfectly safely?
I feel the same way about the unnecessary trend to add UV light to grows.

Is it hard to install a 4" filter + fan? Any tips for what order to hang them up / connect the pieces?

I have this guy, 4'' one
did perform couple of months fine but then got stuck, RH is %60-65
now it's the 4th month it gets stuck almost in 2 weeks.
Not sure other brands will perform better, I was thinking to try https://canfilters.com/
You should try incense or back flow incense cones. They work for me.
