Replacement pre-filter designed to protect the activated carbon filter from dust and particulate build-up. In an indoor air system, it helps keep the filter surface cleaner and preserve the overall performance of the system over time.
Key features
- Type: replacement pre-filter (dust filter)
- Application: protection of the activated carbon filter
- Indoor use: ideal for grow boxes and environments with dust present
- Maintenance: simple replacement to keep the system efficient
- Compatibility: dedicated to the CarbonActive line according to diameter/airflow
Overview
What it is for
It acts as a dust barrier upstream of the activated carbon filter: it traps part of the particulate and reduces fouling of the main filter.
Who it is for
For those using activated carbon filters in grow rooms or indoor environments who want to simplify maintenance and dust management.
What makes it different
It is a “consumable” component designed to be replaced: it allows faster maintenance than cleaning the main filter.
How to use
Installation
- Switch off the air system and access the activated carbon filter.
- Remove the worn pre-filter and install the new one, ensuring a proper fit.
- Restart the system and check that there is no interference with the airflow.
Adjustment and use
- Check the condition of the pre-filter regularly, especially in dusty environments.
- Replace it when it is visibly loaded with dust or when you notice a worsening in airflow.
- Combine it with good general cleaning of the grow box to reduce particulate load.
Maintenance and cleaning
- Prefer replacing the pre-filter when it is heavily loaded.
- Avoid washing unless specifically intended: it can alter the filtering capacity of the material.
Warnings
- Use the correct pre-filter for the diameter/airflow of your CarbonActive filter.
- Do not use if damaged or not properly fitted: it may create air bypass.

FAQ and tips
How often should the pre-filter be changed? It depends on the environment: where there is a lot of dust, it may need to be replaced more often. Periodic visual inspection is the best strategy.
What happens if the pre-filter is clogged? It can reduce airflow and increase stress on the extraction system. Replacing it helps restore normal operation.
Practical tip: keep a replacement available and schedule regular checks together with air line maintenance.
