There's no reason it shouldn't work well, you got 99% full with fresh carbon, it should be just as effective.
Well done.
How much were the carbon pellets?
This was actually my initial thinking. Seems like it should be easy.
I’m agreeing with Paddletail though as I’ve packed and now repacked. Just one spot where air can easily pass and it’ll blow it. That 2nd try I got a ton more in. 1.5 lbs missing was a lot.
I do think it’s doable but I also don’t expect one filter to take care of the super dank. In total I’ll have 2 like this in flower room for exhaust and one stand alone refilled scrubber that can go between flower room and dry tent.
I went deep on this experiment with some steadfast determination. I purchased a 55 lbs. bag for $260 shipped. I used EnviroSupply and found their merchant on Amazon saved me $10 vs their site. Not bad though, 10 lbs fills one filter this size so I’ll get five refills. One new Phresh would be $180 I think or around
Think if I need more vibration I’ll leave it sealed and vibrate, then open and pack if possible.
I have the new one scrubbing some air for a test. I can tell it’s working. Excellent actually. So relived haha.
Would it work as solo exhaust though, I can’t say yet.
Last note, sorry long post. The mess doing this was minimal. Not even considering this stuff is anti-toxic. Probably the nicest stuff I mess with growing in soil mixes.
