Air Intake, Proper Filtration

Good day people !✌️ 

So recently I decided to dig into filtering air intake in a grow space for a home grower, and well I didn't get much further than air purifiers and I found this one HEPA filter box which is specially for indoor growing. I also know about those boxes gthydro sells, but they just have like a thin piece of cloth in them or something if I'm not mistaken ?

The HEPA filter box I came across -

Anyone got some suggestions ? 😆

I run the below filter. It has a removable "cartridge" with a about 5cm worth of poly filter pads kind of the same they use for fish tanks. It cleans up nicely, I just zap it with a hose and leave it in the sun to dry for an hour. Are you current fans going to be adequate to do the 55 minimum air exchanges through the filter?

Air intake needs not much effort in purification if its a small scale grow. I have 100mm fan from H2gro, and I wrap a bug mesh over it so it doesn't suck in any undesirables, a more permanent and effective solution would be a standard carbon filter.

These HEPA filters are for GMP standards, so if you growing some home grown medical marijuana. BY all means  🤪

Bru my propagation station needed a intake, and a filter of sorts. Those bathroom fans are 150mm, only 100mm ducting would fit through the Propogation tent holes. So I needed a reducer of sorts as well as a filter. Pantyhose check, plastic 2l pot, cut the bottom out with a scalpel and boooyaaa reducer check... When there's a will there a way.
