Rifleman's - DIY Carbon Filter Recharge Pt I

Carbon Filter Recharge

My air scrubber was no longer doing an efficient job so I fixed it with new carbon and a small picture tutorial also. Very simple job. The biggest warning I can give you is do NOT bang the end of the wire cages when the top is off. They bend easily and the fit is such a tight one that if slightly out of round the job becomes 10x as difficult. Reassembly is just the reverse of how I took it apart. I did however put it back with sheet metal screws instead of rivets to make it quicker next time. Soon I'll get a round tuit and clean the old carbon and reactivate it, pictures included. Seal it up and I'm ready to swap it out again the next time it becomes ineffective.

Plant update after lights on tonight, a quick peak this morning put BK in the 52" area. Stay tuned. Peace, Luke.
