I am looking for a new filter and not really worried about cost, just want to it to really work. As it stands, I have two tents - DR80 and a DR240 - the 240 is fine but it has not done one crop yet so no worries there.
The DR80 has just been cropped and for the past few weeks the smell has really worried me so need to get a new one - surprised the one in there stopped working after 1 3/4 crops, so looking for a decent one that will go through a couple of crops as well

Cheers

You could refill them, its pretty easy and Greens sell the carbon in tubs, probably enough to to do 2 in a tub but it depends on your filter size have a look here

Personally I'd get a new Rhino Pro from Greens or equivalent. They have 2 year guarantees on them - I've got a Phat Filter (old Rhino) about 18 months in and no smells at all. I plan on replacing it in the spring.

Odor control gets SOOO many people busted that it's just not worth cutting corners on imo. They're not madly expensive either and worth it for the peace of mind.

Nice one GN, cheers Billious - think I will go for the rhino, like I say not worried about costs, my only worry is smell, don't want to get grassed up for being cheap:)

Just had a look through that - the size of the one I have in my tent ois about 45£ for a Rhino, it is abotu 30£ to buy the refill - I may grab some for future - good thread as well:yep:

I use a Mountian air CF 3year guarantee but not cheap.

Pretty much the same as Phattie.

Greens no longer sell the carbon. Anyone know of a supplier?

Pet store, activated charcoal is used in aquariums for various things.

My Rhino arrived today and want it up - how to use those wierd clips they provide?

If you find out let me know - . that baffled me for ages before I just tied it up using some string - Ha ha!

Cue someone with more brains than me....

Is there a link somewhere for Greens? i need a new larger filter. Cheers

I didnt bother with the clips - I had a mixed pack of Bungees from a good DIY store Replace hxxp with http which were only a fiver, and used those for all my Filters and fans. Bungees rule!!!!!!!

I find mountain air excellent filters, certainly worth the money

i use a mountain air 8" neck-12" dia. x 40" long.aint no substitute you get what you pay for

40" long, Wow bet you need some secure fastenings for that.

Never buy a prima carbon filter.apsolutely shite only used it on one grow and the last 2 weeks I could slightly smell it outside the room.going back to rhino filters can't fault them .ur just pissing in the wind with a prima.

Thanks for the tip. I have been doing some research and I have come up with a carbon supplier that will do 25KG bags. The question I have is what is the best type. 1) Activated carbon form coal? 2) activated carbon from coconut shell?
Anyone clued up as to the difference?

Rhino Pro all the way. I have had can and other crap but nothing compares don't be cheap it's not worth the risk.

here you go

Rhino all the way.

Must say my Phat filter is top notch. The build quality is better than most cars Ive owned


Bert...

Cheers mate.

yet they don't sell them under that name anymore. They're Rhino now

Another word of praise for Mountain Aire filters. Mine is a 10 inch (by about a meter) on an 8 inch fan. It's lasted over two years so far and I run it pretty much continuously regardless if I have a crop in or not.
