FAQ's

  • What makes CarboAir filters effective at controlling odours?

    CarboAir filters utilise high-grade, virgin activated granular carbon. This carbon has a vast surface area with micro-pores designed to chemically adsorb volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and odour molecules from the air as it passes through the filter's deep carbon bed. Their precise design, including optimal carbon granule size and mesh, ensures maximum contact time and thorough odour elimination.

  • What are the different CarboAir filter depths (50mm, 60mm, 100mm), and which should I choose?

    CarboAir offers filters with varying carbon bed depths (e.g., 50mm, 60mm, 100mm) to suit different needs. The 50mm filters are great for maximising airflow in smaller setups. The 60mm filters offer a deeper bed for a longer contact time, ideal for medium to larger grow environments or stronger odours. The 100mm filters provide the deepest bed for extreme odour protection and commercial applications, designed for the highest concentrations of VOCs.

  • How long does a CarboAir carbon filter typically last?

    CarboAir filters are meticulously hand-built in Europe and are designed for impressive longevity. They are guaranteed to maintain high performance levels for a minimum of 18 months at their rated airflows. The actual lifespan can vary depending on factors like the concentration of airborne contaminants, environmental humidity levels, and consistent maintenance of the pre-filter.

  • How should I install my CarboAir carbon filter for optimal performance?

    For optimal performance, your CarboAir filter should always be installed on the intake side of your extractor fan, meaning air must be sucked through the filter, never blown out. It should be securely mounted inside or as close as possible to your grow space, ideally in the centre of the room to ensure even air drawing. Ensure all connections with ducting are airtight.

  • Is the pre-filter on CarboAir filters washable, and why is it important?

    Yes, the pre-filter sleeve included with CarboAir filters is machine washable. The pre-filter is a crucial component because it catches larger dust particles and debris before they reach the activated carbon. This prevents the carbon from becoming prematurely clogged, thereby maintaining optimal airflow and significantly extending the effective lifespan of your main carbon filter. Wash it regularly when visibly dirty to ensure continued efficiency.

  • What is the ideal humidity range to maintain for my carbon filter's efficiency?

    Maintaining a reasonable humidity level (ideally between 40% and 60%) in your grow space is important for the efficiency and lifespan of your carbon filter. High humidity can degrade the performance of activated carbon, making it less effective at eliminating odours and reducing its expected operational life. Controlling humidity also benefits your plants' health and overall grow room environment.
