A carbon filter is an essential component for effective odor elimination in indoor cultivation. It works by filtering air through a layer of activated carbon, which absorbs unwanted odors.

Discover our extensive online catalog of high-quality carbon filters at growshops.fr, designed to effectively eliminate odors from indoor cultivation. For more than four decades, charcoal filters have been recognized as the most commonly used solution to odor nuisance. In this guide, we explain how to select the right charcoal filter for your specific needs, and give you practical advice on its use and maintenance.
Selecting a carbon filter according to air extractor flow rate
Before buying a carbon filter, it's essential to know the flow rate of your air extractor. In addition to criteria such as compactness, lightness, design or price, the choice of a carbon filter should be based on its intrinsic performance. To avoid premature wear of the air extractor motor, the carbon filter must have a filtration capacity expressed in cubic meters per hour (m3/h) greater than or equal to the extractor's flow rate.
Service life and performance of carbon filters
Most carbon filters available on the indoor cultivation market can handle odors for 12 to 18 consecutive months. Some top-of-the-range filters, such as those from Bull Filter or Phresh Filteroffer a service life of up to two years, thanks to their exceptional compactness and lightness.
Precautions for use and maintenance of carbon filters
To ensure optimum odor filtration with your charcoal filter, it's important to connect the filter upstream of the air extractor only during the flowering phase, to prolong its service life. We would also stress the importance of maintaining the carbon filter at a humidity level of less than 70% to avoid moisture absorption.
