Amazon.com : AC Infinity Air Filtration PRO Kit 8”, CLOUDLINE Inline Fan, Controller 69 PRO with WiFi App Control, Carbon Filter, Ducting, Cooling Ventilation System for Grow Tents, Hydroponics, Indoor Gardening : Patio, Lawn & Garden

With Canada burning air quality hazards abounding. I was thinking of utilizing above system to improve my homes indoor air quality when outside air an issue. Would want motor to run just enough speed to replenish air expelled thru home leakage. Slow air movement thru carbon filter requirement for carbon to absorb the smoke/airborne crap. So any good ideas how to properly set fan speed ( OK with trial and error if need be)?

Or better ideas?

Thanks and be well BeCivil2all

Box fan and a good furnace filter.

How do you fix it to the fan, duct tape? Also does that strain the box fan motor, I'm only ask because I wonder if that might be a fire hazard. Otherwise seems like a good idea.

i don't think I've seen a photo of that setup before but I've seen abunch of people suggest it.

I used painnters tape. It doesn't strain the fan. Thousands or more were used for when covid hit. Search furnace filter box fan. No cheap filters, a good one will cost more than the fan.

I’ve ran an in-line fan hooked to a hepa refill before. Works good if you can find the right size, alternatively you could put hvac hepa filters around the carbon scrubber as a prefilter and that would probably work great

I’m actually thinking about doing this downstairs since my roommates have 3 dogs and no housekeeping skills.

problem is the carbon filter will make your incoming air smell like a coal mine hepa sounds better

No, it won’t. Activated charcoal is completely odorless. Hepa is better for intake though but not for that reason, it’s just denser filter material so smaller microscopic particles can’t get through it like mold spores, bacteria etc. carbon just absorbs odors basically just evaporated organic compounds
