so iv been trying to figure out why some filters are so much more expensive then others. i know the quality of the carbon and the bed length/thinkness makes a difference but a gorilla grow filter at 4 in is 110 vs a terrabloom with the same bed thickness is only 50, and the terrabloom is actually 16 inches vs the gorilla being only 12. they both say made from the same carbon. and then ac infinitys 4 in premium is 70 bucks and it only has a 1.5 in bed and 16 inches. iv herd some people saying that some lasts longer then others but if its the same carbon being used how can some last longer then others, iv herd vivosun and ipower and brands like that go quick vs the more expensive ones and i dont get why. i want the best carbon filter i can get but i want to know that im paying for the quality/name not just paying more cuz of the name if there the same. anyone have any experence or input with carbon filters so i can understand what im paying for better?
Growers seem to find that AC Infinity and Phresh filters are the best at removing smell. I buy Phresh filters. They are more expensive, but they also perform much better than other brands I’ve tried.
I use a terrabloom 8inch and it works fine
yea i got a few of thoes phresh ones comming cuz im trying to compare, i always thought it was bedthinkess and the length and the carbon made the difference but gorilla and terrabloom have the same bed thickness and say they use the same premium Australian catbon. and the gorilla and phresh are 12 in when the terrabloom is the same thickness and 16 in and only 50 bucks
yea i feel like it should be exactly the same as long as its the same dimensions or longer with the same carbon but how is it that much cheaper then the more expensive brands and gorilla grow filters and phresh filters? and why would a cheap one fail faster if the carbon and length/ thickness is the same? i cant find any reviews comparing them, just that the gorilla and phresh last longer and do a better job removing the smell. compaired to ac infinity and vivosun and terrabloom and i dont get why, i get vivosuns because its small and not think so i can understand that failing earlier
