How to Use the Rhino Hobby Carbon Filter
The Rhino Hobby Filter is easy to install and maintain. Ensure you match the filter's diameter and airflow rate to a compatible extractor fan for optimal performance. Mount the filter on the intake side of the fan and secure all connections with ducting clamps to prevent leaks. To maximise its lifespan, remember to reverse the neck and base every 8–12 weeks.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between a Rhino Hobby and a Rhino Pro filter?
The main differences are the carbon bed depth and lifespan. The Hobby filter has a 30mm carbon bed and a lifespan of 9–12 months, whereas the Pro filter has a deeper 50mm bed and lasts over two years, making it suitable for larger, more demanding setups.How do I make my Rhino Hobby filter last longer?
The filter's unique reversible neck allows you to swap the base and duct-coupler every 8-12 weeks. This ensures the entire carbon bed is used evenly, which can extend the filter's lifespan to its full 9–12 months.Is this filter effective in high humidity?
While the filter is designed for grow room environments, high humidity can shorten the lifespan and reduce effectiveness. It is recommended to maintain humidity levels between 40% and 60% for both the benefit of your plants and the filter.Can I wash the carbon inside?
No, the activated carbon cannot be washed or reused. Once the carbon bed becomes saturated and loses its ability to effectively neutralise odours, the filter must be replaced.SKU: 12624" (100mm) 100x300
