Phat filters use state-of-the-art design with the best odor absorbing
carbon found in the world to give you the single best, clean-air-producing,
greenhouse filter on the market.
The Phat filter outer surface is covered with more air holes per
square inch than other filters thereby giving it a higher rated CFM of
air flow and hence, a greater ability to filter more nasty odor in a
smaller package. The free flow of air through the outer mesh into our
machine packed bed of virgin carbon assures that all air passing
through the tough, odor removing carbon exits the filter clean.
The air pumped into our special conical cylinder disperses evenly
inside the Phat filter to prolong the life of your filter. There is no
air bypassing the carbon bed at any point. Peace of mind through
intelligent design!
Depending on the temperature and humidity around the filter, Phat
filters will last up to two years, a full year longer than most
manufacturers. A fitted pre-filter will catch any larger dirt particles
and keep the carbon cleaner to absorb the nasty odors. The pre-filter
can be removed a few times a year for easy machine washing before being
reinstalled over the canister.
Phat Filter carbon filters are cylindrically-shaped and come in
many different sizes for ease of application. The highly efficient
cylindrical design is tightly packed with virgin carbon. The base of
the cylinder has a vortex shaped cone and the outer filter surface has
thousands of pores for maximum air transfer. Phat Filters are smaller
and easier to handle thanks to their lightweight aluminum shell and the
extremely porous carbon used. Phat Filter carbon filters are the
obvious choice for thousands of professionals and hobbyists world wide
because the Phat name means Quality You Can Trust.
Myth: The heavier the filter, the better the output. Reality: Weight has nothing to do with filter output. It's the quality of carbon that counts. Although Phat
Filters are light, they deliver a power-packed performance. Don't be
misled by other filter manufacturers who will try to coerce you into
buying their inferior product just because it is heavier or they claim
to have carbon of equal quality.
What determines filter efficiency? Filter weight has no bearing on its performance. Other filters are
heavier as they contain many impurities like volatile wastes, moisture,
and ash in addition to carbon. Ash and volatile wastes do not
contribute at all to the carbon's absorbing ability while moisture
actually reduces the adsorption ability of the carbon.
The quality of carbon also contributes to its adsorption
efficiency. Most filters use pelletized carbon. This type of carbon
contains bonding agents, which increases its weight but reduces the
actual amount of fixed carbon per gram, which is the real factor behind
a filter's adsorption capacity. In simple terms, other carbon pellets
are glued together and glue weighs a lot but doesn't filter anything.
How pure is the carbon in genuine Phat Filters?
Genuine Phat filters have close to 90% pure carbon. That's the
highest fixed carbon content per gram of any carbon on planet Earth.
Every batch of carbon is graded and tested before being sent to Phat
Filter for production.
Does the carbon used in genuine Phat filters have any moisture?
Phat filters understand how important it is for the carbon not to
contain any moisture since that reduces the filter life-span. While it
is impossible for the carbon to have zero moisture, genuine Phat
filters are guaranteed to have less than 2% carbon moisture. Phat
Filter refuses to compromise on quality and insists on using only high
quality components for their products.
How does activated carbon improve Phat filters?
Phat filter uses 100% virgin carbon that was run through the
activation process in a specially constructed kiln. The activated
carbon is then tested independently in a laboratory to ensure the
highest consistency and purity.
What is the contact time in genuine Phat Filters?
A filter's contact time is the time taken for carbon to completely
purify the contaminated air. The carbon in Phat filters has a contact
time of just 0.05 seconds, one of the shortest contact times compared
to the carbon in other filters. This gives Phat filters a massive boost
over their competitors allowing them to produce a lighter filter with a
smaller carbon bed that is still superior in purifying the air.
University-tested results have demonstrated this with Phat filters
having a smaller carbon bed width.
What makes genuine Phat filters so light?
The Meso pore carbon used in Phat Filters has a low density. Its large
pores create large pockets within the carbon making it ultra
lightweight. Phat filters are the world's lightest carbon filter per ft2.
It is up to three times lighter than any equivalent alternative. Phat
filters are so light you can install it yourself with no trouble.
Carbon Tests
As the official manufacturer of the range of Phat filters, we make
use of top quality virgin carbon and unlike some manufacturers do not
cut corners or make use of inferior carbon in the production process.
That's why our filters are among the most popular filter systems in the
world!
The air-filtering products offered to YOU, our consumer, are world
class. Genuine Phat filters adhere to strict guidelines with special
emphasis on quality control of the product. For this reason, leading
labs use our filters over other choices.
