2 carbon filters?

does any1 know if its ok to use 2 carbon filters on 1 fan? 1 sucking and other pushing?

you could but i would just reccomend buying another fan if cash flow allows.

not sure, but sounds like a good way to burn up your fan. to much restriction maybe?

This is something that would trouble me too.

Each carbon filter reduces your fans efficiency by 20%.

So in effect 2 could reduce it by 40%.

Then any bends in ductwork reduce it again.

Its a fine balancing act getting good power with all the restrictions that everything else puts on the fan.

Is this because you're getting smell leakage?

The simple answer is no, not recommended. Why would you want too anyways? If one isn't doing the job then 2 won't be any better. Check your R/H, humidity kills the carbons ability to absorb. Ozoneators are the only sure way of getting rid of smell.

if it's for smell leakage I'd look into a ozone generator I've heard they work alot better for smell.

yeah i can slightly smell it, was wondering if it would be ok to use, ill just buy a better/bigger filter then instead thanks for the replies
