What is it & how does it work ?
This filter is filled with purair7, an advanced activated carbon with excellent odor absorbtion properties. The filter is placed either in the growing area, attached to the exit fan, or outside the growing area, connected by ducting to the growing area. All air exiting the growing area must therefore pass through the filter, which removes over 99% of odor and associated particles. The filter works best at temperatures less than 300C and relative humidity of less than 60%.
Why do we prefer this solution to the odor problem ?
Simply because we feel that this is the best technology for the job. Let's run through the options:
1) Ozone (O3) Generators.
Advantages: Ozone is a very aggressive oxidizing agent and will break up most odor compounds. Ozone is effective as an odor neutralizer and breaks down readily.
Disadvantages: Conclusive research into the effects of ozone on human health has not been done. For this reason, we do not recommend enriching ozone levels in the growing area. If ozone is used for this purpose, we recommend exhausting the air to a second sealed chamber, treating it with ozone there, and then exhausting it. Secondly, we have found that some commercially available ozone generating devices produce far less ozone than would be required for an intensive application.
2) Ionizers
Advantages: Ionizers do help to reduce odors and clean the air. This is one reason why the air always seems fresh near the ocean or a lake.
Disadvantages: Without exception, the ionizers which we have tested produce nowhere near the the charge required to deal with an intensive application.
3) Scent Machines
Advantages: Some do actually smell pleasant and help mask odors. Some are very cheap.
Disadvantages: It is better to remove the odor than to add another odor, surely. Secondly, most scent machines rely on a replaceable cartridge that you can only buy from the same company. We don't like that idea much either.
So what's so good about the MountainAir Activated Carbon Filter ?
To start with, the resistance to airflow is less than 10% through the filter. Some other carbon filters available have much greater resistance to airflow, which leads to increased noise and increased work for the fans. Secondly, over 99% of particles >5 microns are removed. We have yet to see another filter able to make these two claims. Thirdly, refilling can be done anywhere and takes about 5 minutes. Both filters come with the optional Sock filter to add 2 years of life Mountain Air Filter.
