Hey guys, im a cheapskate, im going to buy a 6inch fan for my extraction, would i get away wit a smaller rhino filter ie. 4 or 5 inch?? or would it cause me problems?? cheers guys.
MrMart
it will still work if u connect it correct but might restrict airflow a little and be less efficient than the6"

It will hinder airflow a LOT mate. And the filter may not cope with the smell! rendering it pointless anyway.

Don't do it dude. Get the right size and flow rating of carbon filter for your fan. thumbsup.gif

I am using a 6" Phatt filter in the same size tent as you have suspended with bungies, but I admit its a fooking monster of a filter smile.gif

The 5" Phat filter can handle 500m3h which would probably deal with a lower power 6" fan.

I wouldn't bother though mate, it will make a right fucking racket dragging all that air through such a small space, plus the filter will last longer if you get a 6" one, it's a false economy if you don't get it.
