Carbon Filter

Wanna built a DIY filter but am a bit confused. Is there a difference btwn a carbon scrubber and a carbon filter

They are the same....good luck!

No u can't. I just built 1. Spent:

£4 - 5" to 4" reducer
£8 - fencing support the carbon
£6 - sheet of cooking hood carbon filter


Total = £18

Looks the shit and works really well. For the base of the carbon filter I cut the base of a 50 cd container to leave a tube, then glued this to an old paint lid and stuck the fence around that, and the 5" to 4" reducer on the other end.

I thought about building one, but not sure how to make them effecient for my particular exhaust fan cfm.

and for the same buck you get a simple industrial filter that will be more effective then a home made one. hack, the used in every a/c, so head over to a store that carries those and you may get lucky to get them even cheaper then in a hydro-store
