you quoted me saying don't listen to people! Quote me where I am wrong!
DO NOT LISTEN TO THE GARBAGE........RENEW THE CARBON.#
bunch of fucking idiots on this site.
this idiot recommends you was your carbon!!!!!
dont listen to anybody on here,
they are glued together for mechanical strength.
dried deposited glue weighsnext to nothing nothing.
i just put 15.5kg carbon in to a huge filter, how much glue? very little.
Depending on how well and what you make you carbon with it could be better than the ones at the store. Most filters use pelletized carbon. This type of carbon contains bonding agents, which increases its weight but reduces the actual amount of fixed carbon per gram, which is the real factor behind a filter's adsorption capacity. In simple terms, carbon pellets are glued together. Glue weighs a lot but doesn't filter anything.
So hgow much glue DO you use? ahahahahahahhahahahahahDO NOT LISTEN TO THE GARBAGE........RENEW THE CARBON.#

so my first post is in reply to scarhole about making his own carbon. how do you thing the carbon in your filter was made? I also never said that the pellet carbon doesn't work, I simply said that it is not the best and making your own depending on how you do it could actually be better than the store bought stuff! read some info on the links and you will understand a bit more about carbon and how it filters. here is my filter! pretty large filter! works better and last longer than any other me or my friends have used (all 4 of my friends that grow have switched) and it is only 23 lbs or 10.43 kilograms. 6 inches by 20 inches or 150mm x 500 mm. how big is your filter?

do not believe what one person on the internet says.
Quite amusing, I suggest you listen to WeeGogs with regards to those particular comments!dont listen to anybody on here.

Anyhow, if in doubt, take out the carbon, clean it, dry it out and try it again - like I said, a respected member cleans it with distilled water and reuses it so why not give it a go and let us know how you go!

my filter is 10" by 2`6" roughly 250mm x 750mm.
here is a picture of it attached to my unfinished fan box.
i bought 15kg (34.1 Lbs) of carbon from ebay for £47 ($78.45) and the filter took 11.5kg (25.3 Lbs) .
this filter lasts for 6 months, in that time i can get 3 x huge grows including drying out time.
if you want i can take a picture of the box with 15.5kg weight written on it and what is left over inside.
i filled the filter in my bathtub and cleaned the mess up easily afterwards.
and in the picture the filter is empty and only hanging by cable ties. as a guide for fitting the fan box correctly.
now it has been fitted and filled there is a length of ducting between the fan and filter and the filter is tight against the wall at the back and in the centre of the room.
the inlet has been split in two and enters at the bottom corners at the opposite end of the room.
Nevermind. I stand corrected. nice craftmanship. It reminds me of bulding projector boxes and subwoofer boxes for my homies crappy car. MDF all the way. My bad. A typical carbon filter doesnt look like that and if you tried to glue steel it would most surely break apart with all the vibration.
sure, anyone can post a picture of a filter hanging, here is one I just set up in a tent! starting a new strain from seed didn't want them in the same room so I had to get a tent.
