Is It Possible to Clean a Carbon Can Filter?

[NoGutsGrower]

you quoted me saying don't listen to people! Quote me where I am wrong!

 

[NoGutsGrower]

DO NOT LISTEN TO THE GARBAGE........RENEW THE CARBON.#
bunch of fucking idiots on this site.

yes there sure are!

 

[NoGutsGrower]

this idiot recommends you was your carbon!!!!!

SO idiot (misquoting people and not knowing about carbon besides the fact you don't wash it)! since I never said wash your carbon, we agree on not washing it! I dont agree with you on renewing though!

dont listen to anybody on here,
they are glued together for mechanical strength.
dried deposited glue weighsnext to nothing nothing.
i just put 15.5kg carbon in to a huge filter, how much glue? very little.

so in removing the smell of marijuana what do you need the high mechanical strength for? you need a high surface area (more pores for every thing to stick in)!

Depending on how well and what you make you carbon with it could be better than the ones at the store. Most filters use pelletized carbon. This type of carbon contains bonding agents, which increases its weight but reduces the actual amount of fixed carbon per gram, which is the real factor behind a filter's adsorption capacity. In simple terms, carbon pellets are glued together. Glue weighs a lot but doesn't filter anything.

so my first post is in reply to scarhole about making his own carbon. how do you thing the carbon in your filter was made? I also never said that the pellet carbon doesn't work, I simply said that it is not the best and making your own depending on how you do it could actually be better than the store bought stuff! read some info on the links and you will understand a bit more about carbon and how it filters. here is my filter! pretty large filter! works better and last longer than any other me or my friends have used (all 4 of my friends that grow have switched) and it is only 23 lbs or 10.43 kilograms. 6 inches by 20 inches or 150mm x 500 mm. how big is your filter?

my filter is 10" by 2`6" roughly 250mm x 750mm.

here is a picture of it attached to my unfinished fan box.

i bought 15kg (34.1 Lbs) of carbon from ebay for £47 ($78.45) and the filter took 11.5kg (25.3 Lbs) .
this filter lasts for 6 months, in that time i can get 3 x huge grows including drying out time.

if you want i can take a picture of the box with 15.5kg weight written on it and what is left over inside.
i filled the filter in my bathtub and cleaned the mess up easily afterwards.
and in the picture the filter is empty and only hanging by cable ties. as a guide for fitting the fan box correctly.
now it has been fitted and filled there is a length of ducting between the fan and filter and the filter is tight against the wall at the back and in the centre of the room.
the inlet has been split in two and enters at the bottom corners at the opposite end of the room.

do not believe what one person on the internet says.

dont listen to anybody on here.

Quite amusing, I suggest you listen to WeeGogs with regards to those particular comments!

Anyhow, if in doubt, take out the carbon, clean it, dry it out and try it again - like I said, a respected member cleans it with distilled water and reuses it so why not give it a go and let us know how you go!

can you show me a picture of your filter being used.

 

[NoGutsGrower]

can you show me a picture of your filter being used.

sure, anyone can post a picture of a filter hanging, here is one I just set up in a tent! starting a new strain from seed didn't want them in the same room so I had to get a tent.

 

[NoGutsGrower]

I took this pic just for you!

 

[NoGutsGrower]

oh yeah the 6" in the 6x20 measurement is only the end for the ducting (neck). it is 20 inches tall and 32 inches around. I took another one Just for you! how about a spent one on top of my thunderbird? did you think I didn't have one? come on now! i've been growing medically for over 10 years. got my card in cali and washington!

 

[NoGutsGrower]

another pic, shows how the filter is made. and tells you the the size (neck/tall).

 

[mr.smileyface]

Just go buy a new one and let someone less fortunate have that.
Its a dusty cunt of a job to empty and refill. Betheredonethat. Easyer to go buy a new one. I replace once a year.

Nevermind. I stand corrected. nice craftmanship. It reminds me of bulding projector boxes and subwoofer boxes for my homies crappy car. MDF all the way. My bad. A typical carbon filter doesnt look like that and if you tried to glue steel it would most surely break apart with all the vibration.

that filter you have is a small piece of shit.
it is fucking tiny.
i will take a picture of mine tomorrow beside something that will prove its huge size i got it wrong its 34" on receipt. and it is british made. and guaranteed for life from day of purchase.
it was made for hydroponic indoor gardening not cannabis factories.
and who gives a fuck if you have a red thunderbird.
anybody know anyone with that old thunderbird.
he has a small tent in his garage for medical grow.

here is a few pics of a grow room almost finished and the fans are as quiet as a mouse and will push and pull 1015 cmh or 35844.3 cfh or 597.4 cfm
the 10" acoustic ducting is amazing you can watch tv with the sound down low in the room next door.

by the way, i love the acute angles you have in that ducting, is that an art form, or do you like to go slow with the flow.

and on another thread you advised a guy to pay $91 for an industrial timer well check these out i already use them they get inserted in to your consumer unit (fuse box) and run a gang of sockets. look at the specs of this little baby. these are made with self extinguishing plastic.

they will handle 4000w and they are the best timers on the planet.

16 Amp is not 4000 watts even on 220 fyi
