Ok so how do I cover up the smell being pulled out into the outside from my Portable ac and wall unit ?? Can I put a filter on the out duct ??? What about the wall unit ???
Why to let more smell out ??? Found inline carbon filter. Will that work ???buy one with 2 vents in the back
Thanks. I need a bigger one so dual hose it is. Thank you.how will you put the inline carbon filter to the ac? the carbon filter alone will help with smell but i was suggesting the two vent portable because it dont work the same as the one vent!
The dual-hose design utilizes two separate exhaust hoses, one of which will function as air exhaust hose and one that will draw air in from the outside. The air that is taken in from the room is cooled inside the unit and then expelled back into the room.
The single hose air conditioner pulls warm air from the room, sends it past coils cooled by refrigerant, and then sends heated air and moisture through the hose and out of the house.
the single pulls the air in and also puts out the smell... the dual hose dont!
I was told the 2 vent acs pull outside air in. Not hot smelly air from room. I’m sure it pulls some in.A carbon filter with inline fan as a scrubber inside will go a long way to solving your problem.
There is a thread that details how to fix those dual hose portable ACs so they don’t exhaust inside air by using sealant to isolate the cold side from the hot. with a fair bit of work you could probably do the same with the window unit. Okay a lot of work. Mostly important for sealed room CO2 growers. It’s something you’d want to plan out and implement when you’re not in the thick of things. IMO The scrubber is your best bet at this point.
Silly question. What’s a Scrubber and if anyone can find link on dual hose conversion if I need that I’ll take it.A carbon filter with inline fan as a scrubber inside will go a long way to solving your problem.

Thanks guysHere is the tutorial to modify the portables.
im a big fan of scrubbers. Tint’s pic says it all. A carbon filter and fan inside the tent running 24/7 on low Works wonders.
Thanks so much. WhAt size is that ??? My rooms like 15 x8Scrubbing.....24/7.

No odor in grow room.....no odors to leak.
Also provides circulation, and more important to me is the filtering of dust and other particulate so it's not in my weed.
My room is 4x8x8.Thanks so much. WhAt size is that ??? My rooms like 15 x8
Can you elBorate that for me. You had smells but now don’t ??? And you don’t I take or exhaust outside air ???I use a 10in fan and a 4 foot carbon filter to scrub actively(in room no exhaust)...smells outside the neighborhood the last week but not before...i run a 7×9 ....no complaints or looky lou's
What size & what size is your room ???Scrubbing.....24/7.
