Taken and Tweeked PLANET SKUNK person was SMOKESTACK
from our Contruction Thread DIY Carbon Scrubber filled in blanks
Chinese Reverse Eng Style.

.
Main Consideration Carbon: :
Pellet Size for clean non "dusty" handling. Pet Store carbon very dusty
and large perlite looking, not bad if your not going to order some air specific
carbon, just need to be washed out and dried.
Outer Screen can be AC Filter material is similar to thick panty hose. Great
for outer shell. Inner the mesh if you can find it. Sold with carbon if you order
make sure you ask or request or know it’s a std feature of purchase.
Pellet activated carbon (pelletized activated carbon)
Coal Based Activated Carbon / Air Scrub Specific.
Particle size (mesh): 8 x 16 (you can go up a size or to depending on
the mesh to hold it.
Millions of pellets multiplied out the math is massive surface area sucking up
the smell.Mesh came with the order. I got 18 lbs. $ 27. $36 with shipping took
3 days.
Main Consideration Parts List:
Some Times if a contractor wipes out inventory in Duct aisle, so if a few major
things missing grab what’s available find out when they will restock check over
head to. I can never get any help but if you happen to find the dude who
Knows it's worth it. Pellets I got from order was very clean Pet Co's version
made for a mess but it was for water specific keep that in mind.

The pellets need to be larger that the screen itself is key. Held in place, as the
can will be either on its side or vertical.

Areas To in Store to Plan the McGiver Hunt:
FENCING , Lawn and Garden out side toward the back on the end of a row.





Active Carbon Both Kinds, Pet Co in Black 1gal Buckets,
Blue Bucket is the 8 x 13, 18 lbs fit in a 3 gal Bucket.

SUPPLIES



Inner Screen

Stitched it with the wire that held the screen material together.

Use Metal Tape Last to Cover Over Clamps Etc.

I used a 6in Worm Clamp combined with 4 in to go over the Tape and then the
Mesh To.Those fins get pushed down at end and metal taped over to make air
flow from inner chamber to outer.

I used Zip Ties to Hold then Stitched (roll ends up so you can stitch more material)
with Wire, Wrap Mesh More than once.

See those Tabs, Cap Covers Them But you have to tape it.

Inner Shell (Mesh)

Outer Shell of Filter

Place INNER down in the OUTER

Carbon is between the two Chambers or shells, you pour it in. Its a bunch.
Fill It

push down those tabs and Tape it.

Cap It , tape it , use the the 6in worm clamp with a 4in added.
make sure you stretch mesh and ac filter tight tape it off stretched then clamp it down
and cut tape. I stitched the mesh on one end and rolled it around and taped long edges
then clamped then cut excess off.

MORE ON Filling :
Use a Funnel makes it faster.

I used apx 9 lbs of Active Carbon.

I think you just made Macguyver cry!

Ck the edits I took more pics made it way more print freindly.

That is the Best Pic , of McGiver , ever.

Rockets = Fun


Can't wait to test it. (test went awesome , really sucks up the smells BIG TIME)
It has its own 6 inch in line fan, still in the box
the Mesh was the money factor and learning to stitch it on the fly with the wire they use to roll up the metal cloth.

They had a damper but it was like a piece of the mechanism so for 8 bucks i would have to figure it out.

WATCHING
THE GAME COCKS
BEAT
TENN 26 to 6 on ESPN 2

Figuring up cost looking at Recipts
I will add here

I have carbon for maybe one more
All this carbon = lots of scrubbing Stinky

Keep in mind the cost of a related Filter with this much carbon and Length & Width Cost = $ 209 +

Desc QNTY
9 lbs Carbon 1 $18.00
10in worm clamps pairs 2 $8.00

2in Hardware Cloth 31in x 1/2in by ft 16ft $19.00

Economy Plus Air Cond Filter 1 $4.00
Metal Tape 0.5 $4.48
Duct Parts all 5 $20.00

$73.48

For a few dollars more I/e the Double the Clamps and Duct Parts can have Two of these Filters. (EDITED LATER 6:30 pm) I just got back from home depot if you wanna save a big chunck of change on the PVC asile or ask there are really long white bags of zip ties be perfect to replace worm clamps if you wanna save like $ 20 off the price.
I notice Filter in a Can uses a Packing Strap prolly no cost to it at all. There Filters don't get this big but there longest I saw that wasn't half this one was $ 209.00

Getting Worm Clamps Cheap and HardWare Cloth
Cut to Size, Really Reduces your Cost.

Finding Mesh or A/C Filters to Hold the Carbon is another key. Find the AC filter paks in our filter ISLE.

Ordering Carbon and making more than one Filter makes each Filter Cheaper, as it is hard to get some of this stuff in small amounts.

Remember this a 8in Diameter, 18lbs of Carbon, 31in long Fliter (It's E-NORM-ACE)

$ 36 Active Carbon 8 x 16 Mesh , comes with the Mesh for the Inner Core is, 18 lbs can make two huge Filters like this one and it removes allot of smell, ALLOT.
THis is shipping every thing I tell you its worth it to order it from online to get that mesh I stitched into the inner Core. Ordering multiple Mesh Screens is the Key.

Also the wire that holds the Fencing Cloth i/e the 1.3 in sq wire. THere is a wire that holds it in a bundle I used allot of that for stitching it all together makes it stronger and less bulky, to much Take = problem on down the road if Humid in room will seperate. So use Metal Tape. Then the Clamps over the top keeping everyting tight is key.

30 $ 6 x 6 in Worm Clamps ( i think these are Exp) $ 4 - 5 per
(you could use metal tape to cut the cost donw, only but I think that cutting a needed conrer) Snug = torque on the sucking so less drag on your fan.[/b]

Where did you buy your in-line fan and how much did it cost? Great job, looks like it works well. I've been looking at buying or building one of these things - you just made my mind up for me.
Keep up the good work and grow on man.
