Comment on Air Purification
Zamboni_Driver@lemmy.ca 11 hours agoThere are alternate builds cleanaircrew.org/box-fan-filters/.
In past years, I’ve built one with only one filter that the fan pulls through. You need to offset the filter from the face of the fan still by 8" or so with a cardboard spacer to help it be more efficient. It worked.
I’ve also built one with two filters in a triangle configuration, that one worked well too.
This is the first year that I’ve built one that is actually a cube with 4 filters. They all work, the 4 filter one works the best, but it also takes up the most space.

I also built one, and I attached charcoal filters to it, which has significantly reduce the amount of dust in my house, and the air generally smells not at all.
The previous owners of my house were dog owners, so if I don’t run it for a while, then there’s like a hint of dog odor that even replacing all of the carpet and flooring in the entire house and running an ozone machine on workdays for a week has not gotten rid of.
But as long as the fan is running, that odor is taken care of.
