How long do they last on average?
I'm using the 6" Apollo and it works like a charm. I figure iPower and Apollo are manufactured at the same plant in China.. If they're not the same company altogether.
I have far more money than time, so I'll pass.
Lol cubic and square at the same time
just do your research on the cfm of the inline fan vs the filter. They have to be properly purchased so that it works correctly
*chuckle* It would take the average person under 10 minutes, but okay.
i can click "one click order" in under 10 seconds... what's your point? 10 mins assuming i already have everything i need right in front of me. There are plenty of things i would diy but this is not one of them. I diy things that don't exist in the world not things i can easily buy especially if they aren't even expensive.
There is more wear put on the fan when you push and less air moved also there is no way to vent it out of the room. You want to vent that air out of the room so your ambients don't climb throughout the day and you can't really do that if you are blowing through the filter.
Well, I´m running CXBs + QBs on a 4x4 tent and it is never really hot around there parts, so I´m not much concerned with temperature. And I would understand that the air blown into the filter would be pushed out through the charcoal so yes, I would be venting it out. The fan is running on its slow setting, so I´m not much concerned about wear and tear (even if it were at high or whatever).
Pulling air is always more effective, just physics. When you "push" the air you essentially have to create air compression. When you "pull" the air you are creating a pressure difference which aids in sucking more air through. Think of it like trying to push a rope through a hole vs pulling it through a hole. Most that use an inline fan have just the filter inside the tent with the fan a fair amount down the ducting.
Makes sense. But still, I´m running a 420CFM fan on a 8x20 filter (rated for about 600CFM), which seem way plenty for a 4x4 tent. So am I wrong in thinking there should be no problem, since I´m pushing a rope through a large hole?
Your nose is always the answer to the question if its effective enough, you just asked which was more effective. If space is that much of an issue why not just have both outside the tent? Have the filter first then the fan and let your nose be the air tester... just make sure that ducting is airtight.
Yes, I will pay attention to the odor, but did not want to experiment if there was some reason why it was inevitably bound to fail. I probably should have worded my question a bit differently.
Bull. The phresh is better than cheap knock offs. The cheap ones last 6 months to a year and phresh I get 1-2 years out of.
There is a difference in the types of carbon used.
