Hort2O Carbon Filter 6in x 16in - 200-400 CFM

Hort2O Carbon Filter 6in x 16in -- 200-400 CFM Virgin Charcoal Odor Control

The Hort2O Carbon Filter pairs with Hort2O inline fans to deliver integrated odor and VOC filtration for indoor growing ventilation. Filled with virgin charcoal and built with aluminum flanges and steel meshing, the filter includes a clothed pre-filter to extend carbon life by keeping dust and particulate off the charcoal bed. The 6in x 16in configuration handles 200-400 CFM and is sized for compatibility with matching Hort2O inline fans.

Key Features & Benefits

• Virgin Charcoal Fill: New virgin activated charcoal provides full adsorption capacity from day one, without the reduced performance of recycled carbon.
• Aluminum Flange Construction: Durable flanges provide a secure, leak-free connection to compatible inline fans and duct fittings.
• Steel Mesh Housing: Sturdy steel meshing protects the charcoal bed and holds filter shape under continuous airflow.
• Clothed Pre-Filter Included: Protects the charcoal bed from dust and particulate, extending charcoal service life and keeping airflow consistent.
• 200-400 CFM Airflow Rating: Matched to the output range of correspondingly sized Hort2O inline fans for optimized filter-to-fan performance.

Who Should Use This

Growers already running Hort2O inline fans who want a matched filter for their ventilation system, and anyone looking for a compact carbon filter solution sized for 200-400 CFM of filtered airflow.

Compatibility

Designed for use with Hort2O 6in x 16in inline fans with speed controller. The 6in x 16in duct opening connects directly to compatible Hort2O fan inlets. Verify duct diameter compatibility before using with non-Hort2O equipment.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use this filter with fans other than Hort2O inline fans?

The 6in x 16in aluminum flange is a standard duct diameter, compatible with any inline fan of the same duct size. The filter is optimized for Hort2O airflow specifications, so verify airflow compatibility with your specific fan first.

Is the clothed pre-filter replaceable?

Yes -- the pre-filter cloth can typically be removed, washed, and replaced, or swapped for a compatible aftermarket sleeve. Regular pre-filter maintenance is the most effective way to extend the charcoal bed's service life.

How long will the virgin charcoal last?

Service life depends on VOC load, humidity, and airflow rate. In typical grow room conditions with regular pre-filter maintenance, the charcoal bed generally provides effective odor control for 1-2 years before replacement.

When should I size up to a higher-CFM filter?

If your ventilation setup exceeds 200-400 CFM, choose a higher-CFM Hort2O filter to match -- running a filter below its rated airflow requirement can shorten charcoal life and reduce odor control effectiveness. Sizing up in advance also gives room to add more grow space or fans later without replacing the filter again.
