last for 4 weeks hey.... don't think so!
They last for about a year of constant use at 12/12, if the air is very moist then not as long, you can wash and dry them and will work again... probably 3 times or so before they don't work well anymore. You can potentially get 2 to 3 years out of one.

u can build a carbon filter with parts from any home improvement store for around 30 bucks.
Mine worked great the first few weeks and slowly started to taper off. I understand that part of this problem was my own. If I could do it again and I will, I would suggest you build something.
If you are going to buy this product be sure to read the CFM rating of the filter. Compare the CFM of the filter to your fans, I would not exceed 75% of the recomended CFM on the filter. If you need a 6" filter do not just buy the first one you see or the cheapest one. Get the one with the highest CFM rating.
The moment you get close to the CFM rating of the filter stinky air will begin to pass through and out your exhaust. Did any of that make sense ?
I will be using this filter in my cats litter area under the stairs..
The harder you run the fans through the filter the more stinky air that flows through and the shorter your filters life cycle will be.

yes it makes sense my husband wont let let me buy the expensive carbon filters he said use the odor sok or make my own yea right make my own
There are several DIY jobs I have seen online that are doable with even the most basic tools. Surely you have methods at your disposable to increase the odds of getting help from your husband in this project.
The beauty is you can custom fit the thing to your space. I am doing a small on the back of the fan that circulates the air around the room. Plus a large one on the exaust out of the room.

I wasted money on those things.. they work good at first but if you have any humidity going through them they die fast. You can wash them but I don't think they work as well as they did the first use.
DIY carbon filter works just make sure it seals really good.
Otherwise buy a can fan and a huge carbon fillter ($550 USD) ... haven't gone that far yet but it might be the next step because I feel I am outgrowing (no pun
) the DIY filter.

I use one nd they work great. Just throw it in the dryer for 45 minutes on high heat to reactivate them. they are the same thing as a carbon hunting suit that people use to hunt and kill the smell on themselves.

I know this is from an old part of this thread but...
I was wondering about how many plants are you covering with the odor sok?
What is the size Sok and fan motor?
Type of fan?
Thanks in Advance...

I've got the 6" 450cfm piece of shat....dont waste your money like I did. get a real filter I've been using my sok for 2-3 weeks now,no air leaks,low humidity,proper cfm....GARBAGE.my house wreaks,went and bought activated carbon today gonna get aluminum screen and nylons in the morning,then I'm gonna fill the sok with activated carbon and use it as the housing for my new diy filter....figured I might aswell get my money's worth out of this junk, gonna make her into a real filter...first thing in the morning. I know some people have had great success,but I on the ther hand will not be wasting my money on another odorsok ever again.I recommend you dont either.
