I then put the exhaust into a cooler filled with bleach, water and fabric softener. I couldn't smell a thing and figured I was good one day when company was due to arrive. But then mom comes over and asked if one of the dogs go into a skunk. hmm... That's why I'm reading this thread! She's a little dense at times, so I was ok. No breach, but almost.
I used the same carbon you did. Any suggestions on something that you may be doing that I'm not?
Thanks.
Thats where I got mine.dongle69 said:Humboldt Hydroponics.
Connoisseur300 said:High humidity. Humidity over 50 percent pretty much makes the carbon inactive. Drop the humidity and let the carbon dry out and you should be fine.
Another option is you didn't use enough carbon and need to change it out more often.
oh yeah. if your carbon scrubber is too short you could run into problems. Mine is 11 inches long and used on a 175 cfm vortex. My carbon lasts me over 6 months. The fact of the matter is I only chang it out every six months because I Like knowing I have new carbon and no mistakes can happen. I have never had to chang it because it stopped working.
