it passes through the carbon(cleaning the air) and comes out the sides....where the panty hose is.

ha no worries.........good thing we have marijuana for an excuse:thumbsup:

im in the process of building a cab right now for my first grow, and im planing on getting a 6 inch 450cfm centrifugal fan, will this be to powerful for this filter? im gonna make one with a 8-6 reducer,


peace out TjM

I do fabrication pretty regularly with my line of work. Building the filter isnt really a problem but I am curious as to what fans you guys are using that dont make all kinds of racket.

Anyone have suggestions on the real "silent" fans????

I just made this scrubber as of 9/03/07

Made mine to be an 8 inch outside diameter, and a 6 inch on the inside one.

Had two troubles with it, 1) getting the queen size hoes over the 6 inch chicken wire was tough, I was looking at the 8 inch one thinking bloody mercy. Then it came to me I just out the mid section of the hose and fit like a glove over the chicken wire. 2) Still trying to figure out sealing off the open end so the crystals don't come out and into my blower, no answer for this yet, I just hung it and some crystals came out but for the most part its all settled.

I did almost use up all of the 8 pound bag of fresh step kitty litter (the ones with the blues crystals, came out to be about 13 dollars) The thing is massive and weighs damn near 15 pounds. Get out your bungy cords.

Took me about an hour from start to finish, parts cost around 70 dollars (I did make a larger version), checked the outlet air and smells like fresh flowers. The fan I am using is a Blower Fan from the tool store that starts with an M. (Dunno if I can say the name)

All in all it was worth the money, time and energy to assemble this beast, props to the original poster for this rad idea.

Nope, it'll be just fine. I had the same setup for a while.

ok thanks bro, make sure you come check my grow log in a month or two;)

I know this might seem stupid and redundant, but after reading all the posts i still don't understand...

how is the fan connected to the filter???

from one of the ends? i thought one side had a cap and the other side was just the reducer...
from the middle? doesn't seem to make sense...

i think i am just missing something trivial of how u connect the final product to the ventilation system...

i thought the same thing when i read it , how does it work? this seems like a stand alone model. you could put another reducer on the other end though to make it an inline scrubber, like the one on the other side. i havnt built one yet, but i too would like to know of a decent, silent, fan that can be bought at a normal home improvement store. fyi this thread is how i found cann . com. when i was looking into a scrubber a long time ago. glad i stayed. that is a chunk of change to put out with the fan and a scrubber if you bought them premaid at a store.
