however they are heavy, and cannot be re-used. they work great don't get me wrong, but you have to replace them every 6mo-1yr and that aint cheap. I have found a better and superior product called THE AIR BOX with replaceable pleated filter inside, no more throwing away can filters. You pay once and replace the inside filters...

I own a Can filter and can style fan.

It's a Can Filter model 66 and has over 60# of carbon in it. All of those filters are reusable with a little DIY common sense. All of them are refillable with new carbon.


I would suggest going atleast 1 size bigger than what you need to sufficiently filter the smell.

2 years on my filter and i can still stick my head in the attic and I get no smell.

No smell outside either.

The 6 mos to 1 year comment is his opinion.

I will continue to run the filter until i can smell something in the attic. Until then.... it will blow on.

A good carbon filter is the best odor remover.

The filter I run is about 5x the size i actually need for the space i run, so i figure i can get 5 x the use out of the carbon before i order replacement carbon.

I have a can 33 and it's great. Been using it for over 6 months and it still smells like fresh air in my room. Even with my dirty laundry in here.

I bought a Honeywell® Enviracaire® True HEPA Air Purifier - 50200 for $132 that has a reusable HEPA filter and a replaceable carbon mat prefilter. It sits in my grow room and for over a month now, it's kept it perfectly clean smelling during full flowering. I love the thing.

Here's where I bought it from if you're interested:

Yes, they work great. Didn't check the link, so not going to see the price, but EBAY has them as well, and can get them a lot cheaper a lot of the times than most places
