Ozone Generators...

I dont know much about carbon filters but ozone generators have the added benefit of being great for your health, im going with an ozone generator because the smell isnt a huge issue here and my crops will always be small.

Just wondering if you could recommend a decent carbon filter incase my grow room expands, cheers

Yeah, not sure where that guy gets hi info.

Efficiency = using 300 watt fat to pull air through carbon which you have to replace.

or is it using a 100 watt generator which kills the smell at the atomic level? Fact is Ozone is one of the most efficient ways to clear air, this is scientifically proven.

Did you have any problems with your plants though? There is information that states Ozone prevents plants from being able to breath.

i use a cap ozone jr. and it works very well. turns on for 10 mins.and shut off for 10

What you failed to mention is that even the most expensive carbon filter will cut air flow from the exhaust but you are correct that in small grows that a carbon filter is the better way to go over ozone generators.

I vent dirty air to a dump area unfiltered as to not cut air flow from the room,then the dump area is treated with ozone 24/7 then exhausted from the building through carbon scrubbers.

EDIT.

I failed to mentin that unless the climate in which you live is an extreme low humidity climate then UV type ozone generaors are a much better choice over Corona Discharge units,the higher the humidity the less output with Corona units due to their ozone being made using static electric spark,i own both type units & in Michigan the weakest model UV generator outperforms my strongest model Corona unit.

best possible scenario, and what I plan to do as soon as I can.

I own 6 ozone generators with 4 of them being the cap jr models,the other 2 are corona units with extremely output ratings for shock treating rooms & the lil cap jr models blow the expensive models away for growing,they are easy to maintain as well by removing a few screws & wiping off the UV bulb once a month,i have a thread in the archives here that shows pics of the interior of the unit & how to maintain the unit for max output.

got a link to the thread. i was afraid to try and clean it. i think they have a 3 yr. warranty

Whats wrong with Corona discharge ?
