Charcoal Carbon Filte in my living room ?

[Jwow530]

Hello everybody I wanted to put a Charcoal Carbon Filter in my living room snice I'm be drying my flowers in my garage and the smells gonna come inside when I open my door thru the garage but I was wondering do I need to put a duct and drill and cut open walls to vent the air out or can I just blowe the air in my living room cuz I don't want to cut thru walls

If you suck in the air from the room and blow it back into the room then you are just turning over the air.
It will get saturated after a while and start to smell.

You also should "catch" odors where they occur. I.e. inside your garage.

So you should probably hang a filter in your garage and vent it out of the garage (can use a window instead of drilling through the wall).

But the way you propose wouldn't do anything except wasting power and a filter.

You could use an ozone generator instead but that's a whole other story... You would have to know what's in your garage and how the different materials would be affected by the ozone.
You also would still need good air exchange, otherwise your health could be negatively affected if you enter the garage with the ozone generator running regularly etc. etc.


I am afraid there really is no good way around a filter in your drying area with fresh air being sucked into the area and filtered air being exhausted out of the area.

We have a stand alone unit (sits on the floor). No ducting.

It does a good job with both the herb smells and owning 4 dogs.

I've found the same thing - a filter with a fan sitting on it in a room with good circulation works well. [FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]bigbadbiddy, if you exhaust a filter and fan from the garage to the outside, you may be able to create sufficient negative pressure to stop the odor from passing through the open door into the living room.[/FONT]

I have a can fan filter 150 in my garage and I vent it outside but when I open my garage door some of the smell comes in so I wanted to get the smell that comes inside when I open the grange door

Another solution often used in that scenario is an ONA gel dispenser at the door.

That is exactly its intended use/purpose: "When you open a door and want to avoid odors escaping".

The Ona dispenser has a movement sensor so when you open the door it sprays some Ona and it should mask all escaping smells, leaving the scent of detergent/soap in the air or something of the sort.

As long as you don't keep the door open for long periods of time, the Ona dispenser could be what works in this scenario.

I'd never use ona in a living room, the shit gets into your lungs. Or better, i hate deodorants, they're evil.
A carbon filter will work well without external ducting, i'll do the same when the time comes.
