Thanks. Wing nuts!They work perfectly! I had my setup for 2 years now, haven't even had it out for cleaning and if it wasn't for me freaking out about the temps I probably would run it for another 6 months. So now I'm safe from the smell a while...
Btw that casing you built Otter looks very good! Looks very easy to dismantle for inspection and maintenance.
Got yer uggs on? Got to keep the pigs warm.Morning Stone.
I wish it was that warm here. Freezing my tail off this morning.
D'oh. I didn't buy boots yet. My piggies are frozen in my sneakers.
Gotta get your toes in some good warm boots when you can. Have warm thoughts til then.
You will never be able to remove all the smell in a healthy loud flowering cycle with only one carbon filter. I run 3 and that brings it down to acceptable levels. Two in each tent and one big in the lung room running at 100% constantly.Otter, this is excellent!
Love the "muffler" idea, and really there is only one connection point where the seal is absolutely critical: the exhaust side connection to the filter. Everything else is either filtered air or clean air, really.
A leak anywhere else, and it is either sucking fresh air in, or pushing cleaned air out after the fan.
I'm highly considering this idea to run multiple tents. Not 100% sure yet, but it's definitely a better option than running 2 fans/filters. I may even bump up to an 8" fan/filter, but probably not right away.
Even better is the filter could be bypassed for the early stages where it's not an issue.
Hi Wastei, thankfully that never ends
! Welcome!
I made this and sold the design to a lighting company who loved what I had called it a crazy hvac unit lol , I did it cause the filter had to be winched up and when mid flower I couldn’t get it back in when I changed from top the to the bottom to control heating lol so made this now I move the pipe up or down as I need it in winter on floor lol, made a reet nice dollar and they never used the design lolHere's a way to get the extraction equipment out of the tent. I made this one to hang. There's other options for other sizes of filters if you think about it. Here's the pictorial. Let me know if you have questions.
And the Muffler section
I run 1 rhino pro and it’s fine for 10 trees like no smell at all, when I used hobby filters I stil had smell
Hey Pondwater, glad it helped! Thanks for mentioning it! I love hearing an idea is useful!
Thanks Dog! I had a yen to get all that out of the tent and have it work as it was intended. It was fun! Between getting all that out and todays low profile lights, it's a dream come true!
Hey Keith! Thanks! No but I worked together with them. G.E. sent me to all kinds of schools and they always had classes in house going on and I always kept on them. I trouble shot their numerical control machine tools that made jet engine parts for 7 years in the 80's in Lynn and Everett and Medford. That meant an understanding of air, liquid, mechanics, and electricity in industry.Stone were you an engineer in past jobs. You sure look like you were. Can't wait to see the finished project.
