as soon as the air goes through the carbon it neutralizes odors in it. though some stronger smell can still linger as it gets a little older.
yeah the bigger they get the heavier they get mines like 20 pounds

THanks puddle I was just wondering if it was working properly....my inline fan isnt that strong though.....so maybe thats why i still smell some.....when i open my cab u can definately get the wiff of fresh cut lawn...lol.....damn 20 lbs holy crap hope u have that thing standing vertically.....lol

well when you open your cab yeah its gonna smell the key is that the air coming out of your cab when sealed does not smell like weed

OH ok so it doesnt completly eliminate all odors? I thought that it would leave a fresh clean smell even in the cab......for the amount of carbon it has....It was either this or the ozone jr because my odor problem was getting real bad...but heard negative things about using the ozone generators.....so whent with the carbon.....

Hey Haze21 ,
How big is the core dia. of the filter = ducts size ? And what size is the outside dia. ? How many cfm is the duct fan your using ?

My scrubbers pretty big 24in long - 6 in. core -n- 8 in. O.D. and I run a 6in. 450 cfm blower . I still get a lil smell but I think I need a fan speed control on it to slow it down so carbon has time to do it's job .

It's always better to draw air through the filter than to blow through it too.

Peace
Crispi :jointsmile:
