Setup. Ventilation

Привет, друг! 👋 В среднем, простого угольного фильтра хватает на 2 месяца активной борьбы с запахом. Обычно размер угольного фильтра и его диаметр входного отверстия отвечают мощности вентилятора-нагнетателя и в характеристике фильтров пишут какую мощность вентилятора необходимо применить и для какого объёма помещения он подходит. После 2 месяца активного использования и борьбы с сильным запахом, фильтр нуждается в замене наполнителя (замена угольных гранул). Конечно он может работать и 3 и 5 месяцев, но в исходящем воздухе уже может быть лёгкий посторонний запах, а значит, фильтр уже не на 100% справляется со своей задачей. Можно самостоятельно провести сервис вашему фильтру, купив гранулированный активированный уголь, раскрыть фильтр, высыпать старый наполнитель, всыпать новый уголь, закрыть фильтр и ГОТОВО! - Как новый! 👌 2 месяца активной борьбы в сильными запахами. Рекомендую использовать на цветении, т.к. сильный запах сопровождает растение во второй половине жизни конопли - на стадии цветения! 👆 Удачи, бро! ✊😇 Удачи, бро!

yeah most carbon filters will run so long, you can recharge some with activated carbon and you would be good to go for a few more runs, there was a place on ebay that sold real nice ones, foothill carbon filters, made really nice and are refillable , i have one and it has lasted over 4 years now, i empty the carbon every so often and refill it, easy. or you can use the kind you have that has an expiration date on it, good for a few grows and thats it, unless you have a way to add and remove the activated carbon in it

They all expire, best to go with the cheapest amazon ones you can get. Cheers

Hey So in my experience they all vary...and i always still had some smell even when using a carbon filter. But they should at least stand up to a year and a half of growing and being used every day before needing to replace the carbon or the whole thing. But if your grows have been broken up by periods of not using it, then they can last a lot longer. When you're choosing a model I'd highly recommend one that comes with a prefilter because that'll help prevent dust and other stuff getting in there and causing damage. If you see yourself growing for a long time id get a more expensive, durable model like phresh. It's a little pricey but worth it.

Been growing for 8 years and have bought a bunch of em. The ones that cost a lot and the ones that are mid price I haven’t seen a difference. But I would buy from amazon before buying at grow store as they just inflate prices most of the time.
