Grower Tip
- Hold off running the filter until odours first appear — saving the carbon bed early in the grow stretches the time between refills.
- Slip a prefilter cloth over the mesh for intake duty; stuff it inside the filter body when running exhaust.
- Reverse the flanges now and then to work the whole carbon bed — lay the filter flat with the stopper seated so nothing spills.
- Mounting in a humid space? Hang the filter as high as possible.
Features
The iF Award-winning patented design refills with loose charcoal through a twist-off port flange, ending the cycle of buying and binning whole duct filters.
A 38mm bed of RC412 Australian virgin charcoal with a high adsorption rate — and one full refill ships in the box.
The expanded chamber achieves factory carbon compression on its own, lab-tested to block odours as effectively as standard sealed filters.
Hexagonal mesh maximises air passthrough on 200mm (8-inch) ducting, suiting both intake and exhaust setups up to 770 CFM.
Two layers of galvanised steel mesh with a sandblasted gunmetal finish and rubber-sealed aluminium flanges stand up to humid grow tents.
The aluminium flanges swap end for end so the whole carbon bed gets used, stretching the time between refills.
Includes one charcoal refill, two washable prefilter cloths, two hanging straps, two rope clips, and a steel scoop and funnel for mess-free refills.
Used charcoal tips straight into the compost, and refill bags cost a fraction of a replacement filter.

1
Fit the prefilter
For intake setups, slip a prefilter cloth over the filter so all the mesh is covered; for exhaust, stuff the prefilter inside the filter body instead.
-
2
Connect fan or ducting
Slide your ducting or inline fan's port over the flange and secure with duct clamps — a wrap of foil tape first gives extra hold.
-
3
Position it
Hang inside the tent on the fan's intake end, or outside on the exhaust end. In humid spaces, mount the filter as high as possible.
-
4
Hang it up
Loop the straps around a support bar and lock them through the ladder locks, or clip the rope-clip carabiners straight onto the flange hooks.

5
Refill when odours return
Twist off the port flange, remove the stopper, compost the spent carbon, then funnel in fresh charcoal — packed firm, never past the plastic barrier.
How is this different from a standard carbon filter?
A standard duct filter is a sealed unit — once the carbon is spent, the whole thing is binned. This kit refills through a twist-off port flange with loose Australian charcoal instead, and the included refill gives it the filtration capacity of two standard filters. Refill bags cost a fraction of a new filter, and the spent carbon can be composted.
Which charcoal refill do I need?
A full refill of this 200mm filter takes 16lb of carbon per the manual's refill chart, so plan on two 8lb (about 3.6kg each) bags of AC Infinity 1200+ IAV Australian charcoal per change — the same RC412 grade that ships in the kit. One refill is already included in the box, so you're set for the first carbon change before you need bags.
What fan should I pair with it?
Match the filter to your fan's duct size: this is the 200mm (8-inch) model, rated to 770 CFM, and it connects straight to a Cloudline PRO S8 or T8 inline fan or via 200mm ducting. The refillable line also comes in 100mm (4-inch) and 150mm (6-inch) sizes if your setup runs smaller ducting.
How long does the carbon last?
Expect one to two grow cycles between refills, depending on fan speed and how often the filter runs. Refill once odours first start slipping through. To stretch each fill further, wash the prefilter cloths, reverse the flanges now and then, and hold off running the filter until plants actually smell. A little black dust on arrival is shipping residue — it clears after first use.
What's included in the kit?
The 200mm filter itself (50.3 x 27.8cm with 4.0cm flanges), one charcoal refill, two washable prefilter cloths, two hanging straps, two rope clips, and a steel scoop and carbon funnel for refilling. AC Infinity backs it with a two-year warranty.
Description
A wholly original replenishable carbon filter designed to permanently replace standard duct filters. This iF Award-winning patented structure can be regularly refilled to offer a cost-effective and sustainable solution for unwanted odors in your grow tent.
The charcoal fan filter kit also includes 1+ refill, making it as efficient as two standard inline carbon filters while proving more affordable. You can purchase additional refills at a fraction of the price of an entirely new carbon scrubber to further increase the value of this kit.
Features an expanded chamber that enables you to achieve factory carbon compression and the same lab-tested levels of odor-blocking effectiveness as standard carbon filters. This also eliminates the need for you to actively compress your replacement charcoal and facilitates the refilling process.
Eco-Friendly Design
This first-of-its-kind filtration system removes the need to routinely purchase replacement filters and dispose of the old units. Each carbon filter features premium-grade Australian virgin charcoal and comes with 1+ refill. Its activated charcoal utilizes an enhanced surface area with a higher adsorption rate to help extend the time between refills. Further lengthen the charcoal bedding’s lifespan by reversing the filter’s easy-to-remove flanges. You can compost the used supply when replacing the charcoal to maximize its utility even further.
Highly Durable Build
The activated charcoal is safely locked within your odor filter by aluminum flanges and a secure rubber seal. The filter itself employs two layers of galvanized steel meshing with a sandblasted finish to protect the charcoal bedding. These multiple layers work together to effectively block odors in even the most humid environments by ensuring increased resistance to rust and corrosion.
Applications
This refillable carbon filter pairs with 8” inline duct fans and ducting to improve air quality in hydroponic grow rooms and grow tents. The kit includes a convenient funnel and scoop set and one charcoal refill for continuous odor scrubbing. Additional refills are available for purchase.
