CO2 and Scrubber

I've always wondered, if you have a scrubber inside your grow room and you're pumping CO2....does the scrubber do anything to the CO2 or does the CO2 stay CO2 even after going through the filter....btw, the scrubber is not attached to the exhaust...it just scrubs the air and the air goes back into the room

That's what I figured but the CO2 concentration would be much higher around the scrubber just because it's pulling the air towards it right?

nope. co2 is heavier than other air components and will tend to pool on the floor. just because the fan is pulling in air doesn't mean it's pulling more co2 than the other gasses in air.

and carbon filters catch aromatic organic compounds that are chemically attracted to activated carbon, the size of the molecule is not what's important.

So would it make a difference if you had a small oscillating fan at floor level to kick up the sitting CO2?

at least one fan. it's very important to have lots of room air flow to mix the co2 with the air in the room.
