Ruck 6 inch Intake Filter Box with MERV 5 Mat
The Ruck 6 inch intake filter box mounts on a 6 in duct or fan collar and pre-filters the air pulled into the room. Its MERV 5 (ISO Coarse 45%) fiber mat traps dust, pollen, insects, and larger spores before they reach the canopy. The galvanized steel housing holds up in a humid grow room. It measures 8.1 x 8.1 x 7.8 in and weighs 3.7 lbs.
Keeping Dust and Pests Out of Grow-Room Intake Air
Growers put one on the intake side so make-up air comes in clean instead of dragging in dust and bugs through an open port. Toggle fasteners pop the box open to swap the mat, which Ruck rates for a change every 3 to 6 months. The MERV 5 mat is loose enough to keep airflow restriction low on a passive or fan-driven intake. Pair it with a 6 in inline fan and carbon filter on the exhaust for a sealed loop.
