Whats an inexpensive way for me to remove contaminates from my incoming air supply?

Thinking a pre filter cut to size over intake any ideas?

Ya know man, u dont need to start a thread for every question u have. More than likely if u have a question about it someone else has too. U should take a min and learn how to use the sites search function or start a grow diary thread and ask ur questions there

Thank you is there any particular way you have found to fasten it ? In order to connect it to my ducting I'm thinking cut it oversize...

With a glue gun, here's a down and dirty method with some cheese cloth. That won't stop anything but bugs from getting into your grow.

Lol dont use a glue gun man. This aint arts and crafts. Use a ziptie. And if ya wanna go the extra mile u can use a hose clamp w a hepa filter

Great minds think alike... lol JK

only thing is after putting it on my intake is reduced greatly. I think I may just need to go with a bug screen :/

Put the filter on both flat and accordion style

kinda considering if it's really a concern to get one of those dust shrooms. They're supposed to allow proper air flow while cleaning intake air. Expensive though :/

Furnace filters are designed to let air thru. ....

The cheaper the filter the more air flow but also more bs gets thru. Ul be good man....i wudnt worry too much. Aint like ur deciding whether to go hydro or soil

 

[Lbgrower]
