carbon filter air flow

just got a 6" carbon filter and i cant believe how heavy/massive the thing is. my questions is does it matter which direction the airflow goes, can i blow air through the filter or do i need to suck air into it? does it matter i have a feeling that if the air was being blown into it the carbon would clog the pre filter but i might be wrong

suck dont blow...

i like the sound of that +1 thanks for the quick reply

It doesnt matter...both work equally well......it is designed for air to be sucked through it...but only because the prefilter is on the outside....but both ways work great.....
