Urban Premium carbon filter 460-690 m3/h, 150 mm

Product detailed description

Peace from odour even with a larger extract - 150 mm carbon filter Urban Premium covers larger grow tents and smaller grow rooms with powerful ventilation. The 150 mm flange and optimal airflow of 460 m3/h (max. 690 m3/h) make it a step between the 125 mm variants and the strongest filter in the range.

How the 150 mm carbon filter works

Odour is captured by a layer of activated carbon through which the air passes during extraction. Australian granular carbon RC412 with a value of 1050 IAV is used, evenly distributed around the entire circumference of the filter in a bed up to 4 cm thick - the more carbon and the longer the contact with the air, the cleaner the air at the outlet. The carbon layer is covered by a fine fabric, so the filter does not create dust and operation remains clean. The conical aerodynamic base distributes the airflow evenly through the entire layer, which increases filtration efficiency and overall service life. The aluminium front and base keep the weight low (4.8 kg) and protect the filter from mechanical damage.

For which extract and space

The filter is suitable for larger tents and grow rooms where a standard 125 mm extract is no longer enough. The filter, extract fan and ducting must share a 150 mm flange. Carbon creates resistance to the air and reduces the real airflow of the assembly, so choose a fan with a reserve above the space requirement. It suits an extract with an optimal airflow of around 460 m3/h (max. 690 m3/h). You connect the assembly with ventilation ducting 150 mm. You can find the smaller and largest variant in the Urban Premium range:

• 100 mm filter - optimal 160 m3/h (max. 240 m3/h)
• 125 mm filter - optimal 160 m3/h (max. 240 m3/h)
• 125 mm filter - optimal 240 m3/h (max. 360 m3/h)
• 125 mm filter - optimal 370 m3/h (max. 550 m3/h)
• 150 mm filter - optimal 460 m3/h (max. 690 m3/h) - this filter
• 160 mm filter - optimal 580 m3/h (max. 870 m3/h)

Service life and maintenance

The carbon usually lasts 10 to 15 months, but the exact time depends on the actual airflow and humidity - the higher the airflow and the more humid the air, the faster the carbon wears out. Above roughly 70% relative humidity, the carbon suffers, so operate the filter in reasonable humidity. You can extend the service life with the washable external pre-filter included in the package - it captures dust and dirt, so the carbon does not clog. Simply wash the pre-filter as needed and put it back.

Frequently asked questions

When should I choose a 150 mm flange instead of 125 mm?

When you have a larger tent or a smaller grow room and need extraction beyond the capacity of a 125 mm setup. The 150 mm version handles an optimal 460 m3/h (max. 690 m3/h). For the largest spaces and the strongest extraction, there is also a filter with a 160 mm flange. However, always match the filter, fan and ducting to the same diameter.

Which fan do I need for the filter?

An extract fan with a 150 mm flange, because the filter itself does not move air and does not work without a fan. Choose a model with an optimal airflow of around 460 to 690 m3/h and with extra reserve, because carbon reduces the real airflow of the assembly. Suitable models are in the fans category.

How long does the carbon last?

Usually 10 to 15 months, the time depends on operation. Service life decreases with higher airflow and especially with higher humidity - above roughly 70% relative humidity, the carbon wears out faster. The washable pre-filter in the package captures dust, protects the carbon and extends its service life.
