Question 1

Is the PROACTIV 460m3/h Carbon Filter by Garden HIGHPRO compatible with all types of ventilation systems?

Accepted Answer

The PROACTIV 460m3/h carbon filter from Garden HIGHPRO is compatible with most ventilation systems. However, its connection requires a standard size flange of 125mm or 150mm, which usually corresponds to the common dimensions of air ducts and extractors used in horticulture and domestic ventilation. In addition, it is optimized for a maximum air flow of 460 m³/h, so the filtering efficiency will therefore depend on the air extractor's correspondence with this flow. In summary, compatibility essentially depends on the diameter of the flange and the air flow of your ventilation system. However, please note that it would not be compatible with systems whose connection flange is of a different diameter or which are intended for large volume or specific industrial applications. If necessary, the use of adapters or the choice of a better suited model would be recommended. For any further information, we remain at your disposal on GrowLED.fr. At your service.
