FAQ's

  • How often should I replace my carbon filter for peak performance?

    The lifespan of a carbon filter typically ranges from 9 to 18 months, depending on the size of your Grow Tent, humidity levels, and the intensity of usage. For continuous, high-efficiency odour control, we generally recommend replacing your filter annually. Always check the manufacturer's guidelines for your specific model, such as the Rhino Pro Filter.

  • How do I correctly size a carbon filter and fan for my grow room?

    To ensure effective odour control, your filter's CFM (Cubic Feet per Minute) rating must match or slightly exceed the CFM rating of your Inline Duct Fan. Calculate your grow room's volume (L x W x H) and multiply it by your desired air exchange rate (typically 60 times per hour) to determine the necessary CFM. A matched system prevents air leaks and maximises filtration.

  • Are activated carbon filters effective at removing strong odours and VOCs?

    Yes, high-quality carbon filters are the most effective solution for indoor gardening odour control. They use activated carbon adsorption to chemically trap Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) and powerful smells. Using a reputable brand like Rhino or AC Infinity ensures the dense carbon bed scrubs virtually all air impurities.

  • What is the difference between a carbon filter and a regular air filter?

    A standard air filter (like a HEPA filter) only traps particulate matter (dust, dirt, hair). A carbon filter specifically uses chemically treated charcoal to adsorb gas molecules and odours, making it essential for environmental air scrubbing in a hydroponics system where smells and gaseous impurities are a concern.

  • What is the best way to maintain my carbon filter to extend its lifespan?

    The core activated carbon media cannot be cleaned or regenerated, but you should regularly clean or replace the pre-filter (the white mesh sleeve) that wraps around the filter. This prevents large dust particles from clogging the carbon pores, ensuring your filter, such as the Rhino Hobby, maintains maximum odour-fighting efficiency.

  • Why should I buy my carbon filter from Great Stuff Hydroponics?

    We only stock carbon filters known for their quality, density, and longevity.
