Carbon Filter Quick ?

[Guest]

ok, i have a homeade carbon scrubber, it's 24" long, and has an outter diam. of 8", with the inner diam. being 6", i was curios as to how much carbon will I need? and where can i get it CMEMORY?

That only gives you a carbon thickness of 1". You should use at least 2" for effective oder removal.

Don't worry about the 1" thick carbon bed.

K1llakrOn.....how big is your grow space(cubic feet ie; L x W x H)?

Also what size exhuast fan (4" 6" 8" 10")?

Many people from OG used that very same DIY carbon filter and they work wonders,all you have to do is make sure your fan isn't too powerful (just oversize the filter if it is).

 

[Guest]

well my fan is extra powerful...LOL...400 cfm vortex 6" model...my grow space will be about 7.5 sq.ft... I am going to get a speed controller so we'll see...and...I can always run ducting from the scrubber to the fan to slow down the air for maximum "scrubbage" and is anyone gonna answer the question I asked?

Three to Four 28 ounce jars.They can be found at pet stores like Petsmart etc etc etc. and are located in the stuff for fish and aquarium care.

according to my calculations is should take about 9 liters

You can find giant bags at aquarium/ fish stores at the bulk price.

I have a Can 66 Filter that is 10 inch outside ,8 inch inside and it holds 31 Lbs of carbon.... yours should hold somewhere in the mid 20's ...hope this helps

i could use some bulk pricing...I like saving money...

If it is a SIS Pro DIY Carbon Filter then it will take about 4 pounds of the activated carbon.SIS's was only 4" shorter than yours but still had a 6" core 8" outside.

Four pounds...no more no less.

Don't listen about the can filter as they use a 2"-2.5" thick bed of carbon and all yours can handle is a 1" thick bed.

didnt mention a 1 inch thinkness...I use a thinker one for the stinky stuff. I guess?....was trying to help, guess not

no worries, we are all trying to help. (but only I am right )

a 1 inch layer is implied by the measurments given.

you need to get 5 1.87 liter jars or 8.6 liters killa

 

[Guest]

just curious but how is mine different as mine is 10 inch outside and 8 inside . not understanding , not trying to argue.

 

[Underground Man]

well then it's got a 1 inch layer and jnugg must be mistaken

plus i think that weight isn't a good way to measure it because I assume some grades of activated carbon are denser than others.
