I have an air duct outlet hook up . do you I need Charcoal carbon filters? I notice that without the Charcoal carbon filters, the suction is stronger.

The carbon filters come with this unit. It says in the instructions that you can use it with or without the carbon filters. And my unit also has an air duct outside. I use the carbon filters to help eliminate the cooking odors.

It is a filter on it's own, no charcoal needed. Over time the fibers will eventually break down and you will have to replace it. Just hose off gently and air dry to clean.

I would not recommend because most air purifiers have a hepa filter too, they are able to filter any excess carbon. Also if it is a window air conditioner and could be exposed to moisture, the carbon filter would get wet and if not dried could possible have mold spores attach causing respiratory irritation.

The carbon filter fits on top of the main accordion paper filter. In other words the carbon filter is the first filter the air is drawn through. I hope this helps. In my machine these are the "A" filter that fit under the plastic tabs on the "B" filter. I am not sure if your machine configuration is similar to mine.

Yes. If your Carbon Filter is rated same or higher CFM, you should have no problem. These are good workhorse fans. Mine runs 24 X 7 X 18 months just needs cleaning occasionally.

It does come with the reusable filters if you are going to vent it, but not with the charcoal filters if used not vented

I have a fairly powerful unit so I did not have a problem with the filter. It is pretty dense so it will reduce some of the airflow. But on the positive side, its easy to keep clean and reuse.

The carbon filter on the front of the filters collect a lot of dust. I vacuum it clean once in a while. For your question, I would say yes.

I have a active air and a c.a.p one this is about same as the c.a.p not to loud but active air hydro farm one quietest of ones I bought. As for long term dont know havnt used long. Carbon filters do stop filtering after a while so not sure how long filter part will last.

Yes, the filter pushes air through a charcoal pre filter > a hepa filter > UV light. All of which are replaceable. It's recommended to replace the pre charcoal and hepa filter every 6 months or so depending on use and how contaminated the air is. It's also recommended to take a vacuum to the filter every month to pull out the larger particles that may be lodged in it and extend filter life. When I looked for replacements they were not available on amazon, but easily purchased through the manufacturer's website.

This is more of a question than an answer but I think that you wouldn't want to use this as a pre-filter along with regular AC foam filter because that would be too restrictive. I am wondering if this carbon filter by itself would be too restrictive for an AC, blocking the intake of sufficient air. Did you try it, and if so how did it work out? The only carbon window AC filter I've found is made by Nordic Pure (15x24 cut to fit), and it's pricey at about $84 for 6 filters. It's a carbon layer bonded to a white polyester layer.

I vacuum the Carbon pre-filter once a week and never need to change the expensive Hepa-filter.I lay it flat on the carpet dirt side up, use the vacuum hose, no attachment, just as a routine ~~ after 2 or three years I replace the carbon filter.

Use the filters? Oh, yes--definitely. They're really the key; otherwise you might as well use any old container. The filters contain charcoal, so they soak up odors without blocking air circulation. They do indeed last a long time, but I always keep an extra set on hand; they're cheap. One bit of advice: Don't fill the pail so full that the contents press into the lid and soil the filters.

Great Question :) They are only 25 dollars and they are sold at http://www.amazon.com/Charcoal-Anti-Odor-New-Comfort-Purifiers/dp/B00D2Y3H2E/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1412163965&sr=8-1&keywords=new+comfort+charcoal+filter By the way this unit is great because it has 2 ways to remove odors. One is with the charcoal filter. Charcoal actually absorbs the odor. However once the charcoal filter is full it quits absorbing odors and must be replaced. The other way is through the Ozone feature. While you cant be in the room while its running (like you can with the charcoal filter) it is very effective at removing odors. It does not need to use a filter for that so those dont need replaced like a filter does. I hope that helps :) Let me know if you have any other questions :) Thanks Dustin GreatVacs (seller)

There is a bracket on the fan itself where you can screw/bolt it down, however there is no provided way of hanging the filter, I bought straps made for hanging duct work for a couple dollars and it works well. The filter comes filled with charcoal so you don't have to buy anything to fill it up. I cant see a way to add or remove charcoal from it though, regardless it will last a while. so far it has worked well for me. Any other questions I'll be glad to help, I bought mine about a month ago and have had no problems so far running it 24/7

We actually use fish tank filters, the kind that are blue and white and you can cut to any size. They have worked well with trapping debris, but I don't know if they are as good as charcoal filters.

The less expensive one is just a paper filter. I've noticed that some of the more expensive ones contain carbon to filter out odors. Wasn't really a deal breaker for me. I just wanted to minimize construction dust.
