Dirty air dump room

[HockeyBeard]

I'm planning out my space, and considering my air cleaning options. The room is approx 15x10, and what I'm thinking about doing is running a carbon filter in the room, and exhausting into a dirty air room with an ozone generator before exhausting out, but from my understanding of ozone generators, they need time to scrub the air. If you've got too much circulation, it won't have time to work. So, a damper system would be advisable, yes? I'm thinking something like this.... Any tips?

Wouldn't it be simpler to just run multiple carbon filters and exhaust clean, scrubbed air into your "dirty room" where you could easily monitor your exhausted air?

Well, I was just going to use a single scrubber in the room, so the input air is already pretty clean. We just flooded in my area and I came up on an O3 generator for the cheap, while helping a friend with some damp musty smells. Just would like to try to find a way to use it effectively.

Mounted in duct work or a plenum would be cleaner and not expose you to O3

I dont see how one carbon filter in a 15X10 room could possibly handle your smell ( of course, I have no idea how many plants you will be growing but I'm guessing the answer isn't "a couple" ).

get 2 can 100s with 2 10 inch max fans no extra rooms no exhausting, just scrub that air.

6, well under my legal limit. But that's why I was trying to do two stage cleaning.

But I think you're missing the point. I HAVE an 03 Generator that I got for 25$ and a something out of my headstash. I'd like to use it.

Yeah, in the box, I would not be exposed to the O3 at all, it'd be contained in the 1x3 room.

well you can build your whole grow around this one piece of equipment....

I see where you're coming from, but I wouldn't consider my air cleaning method my entire room, but one small aspect. But you have a valid point.
