To maintain this optimal flow, it is simply necessary to ensure that a fan providing 250 m³/h at 100 mm is used and to install a short, straight, and airtight duct with few bends. This configuration guarantees an excellent balance between filtration and extraction, ideal for a compact and efficient culture.
- What is the pressure drop in mbar on the ProActiv 250 m3/h filter at a nominal flow rate of 250 m3/h, and how does this impact the overall electrical efficiency of the ventilation system?
The pressure drop on the ProActiv Ø100 mm - 250 m³/h filter is approximately 1 to 1.5 mbar (100-150 Pa) at its nominal flow rate of 250 m³/h. This low pressure drop is made possible by the multi-layer wool technology, which minimizes air resistance.
In practice, this means that the fan must exert moderate effort to maintain the air flow, resulting in a slightly increased electrical consumption. However, thanks to this low resistance, the overall electrical efficiency of the ventilation system remains optimized compared to a denser filter.
It is important to monitor the humidity (ideally below 65%), as saturation of the coal would increase the pressure drop, forcing the fan to consume more and thereby reducing energy efficiency.
In summary, this filter offers an excellent balance of filtration/electrical effort for efficient and economical operation, with appropriate maintenance.
- Does this ProActiv 250 m³/h charcoal filter perform well in a high humidity environment of over 65% to avoid too frequent maintenance?

To limit these constraints, it is advisable to maintain humidity below 65% or to add a dehumidification system. Otherwise, you can also consider a filter with higher quality activated carbon and a longer lifespan, such as the PF PRO filter, suitable for very humid environments.
- What is the electrical consumption of the ProActiv 250 m³/h filter for maximum efficiency, and what is the actual autonomy with continuous use in indoor cultivation?
The ProActiv Ø100 mm - 250 m³/h filter is a passive filter, so it does not consume any electrical energy. The consumption depends only on the associated fan or extractor that must provide a flow rate of 250 m³/h. Thanks to its optimized design, the pressure drop is low (<10%), which limits the overload on the fan and optimizes the total electrical consumption.
Regarding autonomy in continuous use indoors, it varies from several months to about a year, depending on the concentration of filtered particles, air quality, and maintenance frequency. A saturated filter loses efficiency and increases air resistance, so it is important to monitor it regularly. The PF Pro version offers a greater quantity of activated carbon for improved durability and less frequent maintenance.
In summary, for optimal efficiency, pair this filter with an extractor suitable for 250 m³/h and ensure regular maintenance.
