I cant find a pre-filter for my phat filter

[smot13]

I have a 6x20 Phat Filter. I can't seem to find any pre-filters for it. Any opinions on what the best DIY pre-filter would be for this? Something from the Home Depot perhaps?

Or if anyone knows where they sell phat filter pre-filters that'd be cool too.

Thank you

I am -nearly- certain that phat=phresh. However, there is no 6x20 (at first I thought that's what mine was as well). Perhaps it's 6x16 or 6x24?

You could try the Web Absorber high efficiency odor control filter at Home Depot. It's 20"X25", has a activated carbon layer, a PREFILTER layer, and plastic skeleton/ support. It's made for furnaces and is easily taken apart and cut to size. It's about $10 and is VERY effective.

Thanks Bork Bork.

I got a 6" x 20" from hydroasis. I measured it just now and it fits the description. I would assume I could get the 6"x24" phresh pre filter and just trim it down, no?

The diameter on the actual can is 10" if that makes a difference.

I'll pick one up today. Thanks rogue.

That's exactly what I use inside my Cans. The plastic grate/support keeps the filter material stationary against the surface of the Can.

trip out. I just picked up one of those for a prefilter last week. Although, I did have to go back and get a second one. The flange is the only part of my filter that is 6" lol. Math ftl. I needed two to fit around the fat part.

I thought that too, as thats what Ive read many times online, but that doesn't seem to be the case according to Phat Filter. Read about halfway down in their blog.

you can buy a roll of cotton batting from an arts/crafts store. Thats basically what prefilters are made out of anyway.
