A carbon filter can cost high. If you can not afford to spend this amount of money, there is a home solution that will cost you a fifth of that price and, if you do it correctly, it will be just as effective. Let's see how it is manufactured. Hydros water bottle are manufacturing water bottles with inbuilt filter.
You will need a few materials, but they are all very cheap and can be found both in your local store and on the internet. The products that we are going to list are not exclusive, that is, you can achieve the same result, or even better, with other similar materials that you have on hand. Water filter pitchers are one of the best filter to use in house, which will removes bacteria from water. You will need to: One roll of aluminum mesh or wire A PVC cleaning cap and a PVC adapter (both with the same diameter) A tube with ventilation grille that fits the adapter A roll of asilating tape A roll of quilt filling A laundry basket (preferably with a lid) Activated carbon HOW TO PREPARE FILTER - GUIDE Make a tube with aluminum or wire mesh. Put the PVC plug on one end. Join these two elements securely with the insulating tape. Next, place the tube vertically inside the laundry basket and trim the edges so that both elements have the same height. Attach the other end of the filter to the PVC adapter with electrical tape. Remove the tube from the basket. Line both with the quilt wadding. Fold the wadding in two so that its thickness is doubled, and use it to cover the outside of the aluminum mesh. Make sure the wadding sticks out and ties everything together with the adhesive tape. Do exactly the same with the inside of the laundry basket. Place the filter tube inside the basket with the cleaning plug facing down. Once you have everything ready, fill the space between both elements with activated carbon. If you think you are using too much, the gap could be too wide. A layer of carbon of 26mm is enough. When you have finished, cover the exposed carbon with more wadding. Remember to make a hole in the lid of the basket so that the PVC adapter protrudes and you can connect it to the tube with the ventilation grid. And that's it! The only thing left to do is connect the cleaning plug to the exhaust outlet and you are ready. This will last you the same time as the commercial version of the product. Now that you have the system set up, just replace the carbon every two years and you can prevent the smell of your indoor crop from spreading.
