The carbon filter according to growshops.fr, your online horticultural adviser.

Growshops .fr presents you through its vast online catalog, a whole range of high quality carbon filters, to control and annihilate the odors released during an indoor culture. For more than four decades, the carbon filter has been the most commonly used means of effectively combating odor disturbances from a culture. Especially if it is correctly installed in the center of the space and in height (heat and odors rise!), the charcoal filter proves to be the best alternative, totally competent against even the most invasive odors.

Also, each brand specialized in the design of carbon filters has a nature and treatment of the activated carbon used, specific to each. These particularities are based on differences in weight, volume and autonomy. Thus, you will find brands with an internationally recognized reputation, such as Phresh Filters, Bull Filter, Can Filters, Green Air Filters, Hy Filter or even Prima Klima.

How is selected a carbon filter, according to growshops.fr?

Before purchasing a carbon filter, it is essential to know the flow rate of theair extractor to which it will be connected. Therefore, in addition to its compactness, lightness, design or price, a carbon filter should be chosen according to its intrinsic performance. In this sense, in order to avoid any premature wear of the air extractor motor, the carbon filter must technically have a filtration capacity, expressed in cubic meters per hour (m3/h), greater than or equal to the flow rate of the extractor.

Concretely, the more a carbon filter accepts to support an important velocity, the more its lateral surface filled with cells of filtration and thus its total dimensions (and its weight) are imposing. When used properly, most charcoal filters available on the indoor grower market provide 12 to 18 months of consecutive odor management, while some charcoal filters can last up to two years, such as the high-performance products from Bull Filter or Phresh Filterin addition to their exemplary compactness and lightness, which are highly appreciated by growers.

However, it is necessary to follow certain recommendations to ensure optimal odor filtration over time.

What are the precautions for using a carbon filter, according to growshops.fr?

First of all, to guarantee the best durability to a carbon filter, it is necessary to connect it upstream (before) to theair extractor, exclusively during the declared flowering cycle, that is to say when the flowers or fruits appear. Furthermore, a carbon filter must never be exposed to a humidity level of 70% or more, otherwise it could become soaked with moisture and would be permanently out of order. Furthermore, an activated carbon filter is always supplied with a pre-filter, a protective film made of absorbent cotton, which encircles the side of the filter itself. From nature soft and stringy, it serves to retain the surrounding dust and pollen released by the plants.

Indeed, this protection must imperatively be installed around the carbon filter in order to prevent the filtering cells from getting blocked, but also kept clean. This maintenance allows to limit the losses of load (phenomenon of resistance to the air flow), to let free the passage of the air, initiated and expelled by the air extractor. To be carried out only at the end of a harvest and according to its clogging, the obligatory maintenance of the prefilter of a carbon filter consists in replacing it or cleaning it, by washing it by hand or in a washing machine at 30°C maximum, followed by drying it in the open air only.
