They are on the top of my wish list lol ... could lengthen the life of your fans as well .. OD

 

kinda pricey but a nice way to help keep the room clean.

 

I like a tidy room. My plants do too.

Should lengthen the time it would take to build up enough dust the fan should be cleaned!

I was curious about them myself. Let me know how they work out if anybody tries them before I get the chance.

Just an idea but I looked into them and the price

 

Home Depot sells a pack of flat filters for floor vents. We got some and wraped them around a 6" net pot. Used rubber bands to hold them in place. They work great and I can replace each one for about 45 cents. Just a cheaper Idea

I have the 6" model - nothing like extremely clean intake air.

Does it restrict air flow in any way?

It says no. Zero cfm loss.

My local grow store carries them, however this is the footnote at the bottom of their web page that has been bugging me and keeping me from actually buying them as of yet:

 

 

 

Horti-Control Dust Shroom intake filters have to be cleaned and re-oiled regularly. The recharge (cleaning/oil) kit is not available to us yet, but the manufacturer suggests that you can use the same oil that you'd use on a K&N air filter for your car.

 

Because Dust Shrooms are kind of new to us, we don't know how long they can go between re-charges. We've been testing them out ourselves for a couple of months, and haven't had to clean or re-charge ours yet. Everyone's environment is different though, and a more dusty or pollen filled environment will obviously require more cleaning. So far, we're feeling very positive about adding aggressive filtration to our growroom air intakes.

 

Dust Shrooms come pre-oiled and are easy to install. Covered by a 5-year warranty.

I happen to be taking Microbiology at the moment. Part of my second life... the one I didn't plan on. Anyway, there are essential flora which would also be filtered out. It will be interesting to see how they work. If you use them, please share the results.

[DT61]

My area is squeaky clean due to the air filtering. There is no air restriction.
