well I am normally all for diy but if you can fit a store bought filter in its not much cheaper to build one. It cost me about $50 to make 1.

Actually the current Phat filters on the market now are not the same as the original ones. The people who brought out Phat filters originally didn't trademark the name and someone else did in the mean time (you can look up the trade marks to see who it is). Then that company went after wholesalers and stores who where selling the filters in the US. Eventually the original company droped the name and I think they went with Dragon filter or GP filter name. Now the original Phat filters that came out about 7 years ago where pretty good and kicked ass on the Can Filters but eventually they started putting in less charcoal into them and their scrubbing abilities went down.
If you want the original Phat filters go with Mountain Air Filters. It has the same charcoal but still retains more charcoal inside the can like the original ones.
Most of those filters are manufactured in Indonesia with charcoal from Australia. I believe the original Phat and the Mountain Air where made by the same manufacturer but sold under different names.

Who Cares man? This guy is asking if phresh filters are any good...the answer is YES they are. One needs not care if they were copied or whatever. I've had about every major brand of filter on the market (have a mountain air right now I use in veg) and Phresh is the best I've had.

Phresh is just a copy of all the other filters that use RC-48 charcoal .I bet its even made in Indonesia and in the same factory that the Phat/Dragon/Mountain Air/etc...
Does it work, well obviously it works just like all the other filters. The most important part is to match the CFM of your fan to the charcoal filter. too small of a filter and you'll use it up fast with in three crops, too big and depending on your fan you'll restrict air flow. Also just make sure you have a more air going out then coming into your system. This'll create a vacuum and force the smell from escaping through the nooks and carnies.

With the RC-48 charcoal you don't need as much charcoal as the palletized carbon as the RC-48 is more efficient at absorbing smell molecules and can grab larger smell molecules. Now I don't know if this is true or not but this is what I've always been told the palletized carbon can only absorb through the ends of the carbon tube and not the sides. Also a lot of it is recycled carbon (cooked in a big oven to release the trapped moisture/perticluates) from water filtration plants which makes is also heavier since there is still some moisture left in it.
I went from carbonaire to Phresh and had the same concern. They both performed the same. The phresh is so much smaller, I'm sold.
