VIVOSUN 6" Carbon Filter for Inline Fan — 413 CFM Silver Canister with Pre-Filter

VIVOSUN's 6-inch carbon filter with pre-filter delivers heavy-duty odor and gas removal for inline ventilation systems, rated to process up to 413 CFM while protecting your grow space from smells and airborne particles.

Built for indoor gardens, hydroponic tents, basements, or kitchens where air quality and scent control matter, this silver-canister unit uses a thick activated charcoal bed and a removable pre-filter to capture odors and particulates before they circulate. Sturdy steel mesh and a reversible flange help the unit sustain airflow and extend service life, while included mounting straps simplify installation with most 6-inch inline fans.

How does this filter manage strong odors in a grow tent or enclosed room?

The filter combines high-grade activated charcoal with a deep adsorption bed to trap odor molecules and volatile compounds as air passes through. The long canister and full-surface charcoal exposure increase contact time, improving removal efficiency without choking airflow.

• 38mm thick charcoal layer for extended adsorption depth
• Premium RC 412 Australian virgin charcoal for high adsorption capacity
• Dual-sided galvanized mesh keeps air moving while holding the media
• Reversible canister orientation to maximize carbon use before replacement

Will this filter reduce dust and particles, or is it only for smells?

Particle control is handled by the detachable pre-filter cloth that surrounds the canister, capturing dust and most debris before it reaches the charcoal. Trapping particles up front keeps the carbon cleaner and prolongs the life of the filter, making performance more consistent over time.

• Removable pre-filter blocks the majority of airborne particulates
• Pre-filter can be cleaned or replaced to maintain airflow
• Clean charcoal bed remains effective longer thanks to particle interception

How does the design affect airflow and installation with my inline fan?

The filter’s open, round-hole galvanized mesh and extended canister length maintain a high-volume airflow rating while supporting the charcoal media. It’s compatible with standard 6-inch inline duct fans for intake or exhaust setups and includes straps for quick mounting inside tents or duct runs.

• Maximum rated flow: 413 CFM for efficient ventilation
• Round-hole steel mesh increases open area for smoother air passage
• Includes mounting belts for secure attachment to frames or ducts
• Reversible flange and base enable multiple installation orientations

How do you maintain and extend the life of the filter?

Routine maintenance is straightforward: periodically vacuum or replace the removable pre-filter and inspect the canister for dust buildup. When adsorption performance drops noticeably, swapping the carbon canister or replacing the unit restores odor control.

• Clean or replace the pre-filter to prevent premature carbon fouling
• Reverse the canister flange to utilize more charcoal surface area
• Monitor airflow and scent; replace when adsorption declines

Who this unit is for: This VIVOSUN 6" carbon filter suits home growers, hydroponic hobbyists, and anyone needing compact yet powerful odor and gas filtration for tents, grow rooms, basements, small kitchens, or utility spaces. It balances high airflow with strong adsorption and is a good choice when you want reliable scent control without significant pressure drop or complicated installation.
