Hey everyone, i just wanted to share a lil project i made yesterday. I started having some smell problems with my girls. I have a huge vortex fan/carbon scrubber hooked up to my cool tube, that turns on when my lights are on. But when lights are off, the closet is starting to really stink, and i really dont want the big fan on 24/7, suckin over 100w continuously. So, i got thinking, and decided to put a lil pc fan at the top of my cab, to use as a secondary exhaust when lights are off. So, i concocted a diy mini carbon scrubber for it. I have the fan mounted inside the cab and mounted the filter on the outside of the cab so the fan is pushing air out the top.
step 1- take 1"x2" trim wood and make a 10"x7" box(i made mine about 1/3 bigger than my fan, but any size may do).
step 2- staple carbon replacement filter(4 for $9 at walmart) to the bottom.
step 3- staple wire hardware cloth over the carbon filter for stability.
step 4- turn over and fill with activated carbon to the top.
step 5- take a 2nd carbon replacement filter and cover top and staple.
step 6- take a 2nd wire hardware cloth and cover filter and staple.
step 7- use hammer and lightly pound down any sharp wire edges to avoid injury while installing.
step 8- drill a small hole in each corner for mounting screws.
(optional: instead of using wire hardware cloth for the 2nd side, u can enclose the top with wood paneling with a matching 4" hole in it, for a tighter seal.)
