Is this carbon filter good?

Should I buy this carbon filter or buy another one?
I just want to know if it will be good enough

How big is your grow ?A 5" or 6" ruck or rhino filter will deal with most things if it`s got a good fan on it Just don`t use an in line fan for extract they suck real bad but you may have read that else where already ?I like a 5" ruck or rhino filter rigged up to a 5" duct and then a 5 to 6" converter and a 6" fan as they give better flow I just don`t have a 6" hole saw or 6" ducting and 5" duct`s and filters seams to just be easier to run then 6"

You say inline fans are not good for exhaust, why is this?

They lack torque an in line fan is great to supply air from the room into the tent and is fine over a short distance, Hell even if you are venting directly out of the tent they are ok they don`t do so well with a filter on them but if there`s no duct or say half a meter of ducting they`ll work ok but compared a 5" in line on a 5" filter running over 1m of duct say 3 to 5m maybe even 10m as most "kits" come with 10m of duct right ?


Well anyway your 5" TT in line fan might be able to move 400m3 of air when its running free rig it up to a carbon filter and 10m of duct and it`s going to pull at a rate of 100 to 200m3Where as other fan types have blades with far more of an angle they are in fact an impeller type pump (like a jetski uses I guess).

Anyway they suffer far less from the drag a carbon filter and ducting add to the set upI`d take a 300m3 pump over a 400m3 in line for a carbon filter any day as that in line will lose ton`s of flow.

Hopefully that explains it without me having to get into too much detail.

Think of it like speed and torque Yes the motor driving the fan has a max speed and torque too but so does the fans design and in line fans suffer under load they are just not very good at making a vacuum Ruck and RVK make great fans When I was shopping around for new gear I found this.

I`m sure they do smaller fans too seamed the best for the money I had an in line fan on my filter as I got it cheap but a friend gave me a 6" ruck and that beat`s the shit out of any inline fan but they are like £100 good job I have nice friends lol

Is it quiet?

That's my main problem is the decibel level of the fans. I have to keep things rather quiet. Certain in-line fans have low db ratings, and fairly good reviews. I'm looking at something that will work, currently I only use desk fans. So anything will be an uppgrayyed.

What do you think about this?
Will it be quiet

RVK`S and rucks are really quite but not silent you can buy a silencer but the 1st fan I linked you would be around the same level of noise as the RVK`S and rucks

Rhino make good carbon filters and Buddy filters are great for the money too

Just buy a silencer tube for your fan if you find it needs to be more quite in line fans may not be as loud but they make a high pitch sound that`s a lot harder to silence and annoying to the human ear then the Hummming of a pump type fan
