Please sign in to see pricing

317mm (12.5") x 5m Mute Silent Ducting is a large-diameter acoustically insulated flexible ventilation duct designed to help reduce fan and airflow noise transmitted through high-volume extraction and intake systems.

Large extraction systems can move substantial volumes of air, but increased airflow can also make ventilation noise more noticeable. This insulated ducting provides a practical way to reduce sound transmission through the ductwork while maintaining the flexibility required for installation around fans, filters and other ventilation equipment.

The flexible inner airflow duct is surrounded by an acoustic insulation layer that helps absorb transmitted sound. This makes it particularly useful for larger grow rooms, horticultural facilities and other controlled environments where powerful ventilation equipment may operate for extended periods.

Supplied as a 5 metre length with a nominal 317mm / 12.5" diameter, it can be used as a continuous duct run or cut into shorter sections to suit the ventilation layout.

Why choose 317mm acoustic silent ducting?

Helps reduce ventilation noise - acoustic insulation helps absorb sound transmitted along the ductwork.
Large 317mm / 12.5" diameter - designed for compatible high-volume ventilation equipment.
5 metre length - suitable for substantial duct runs or cutting into shorter sections.
Acoustically insulated construction - designed for quieter air movement compared with basic uninsulated flexible ducting.
Flexible design - easier to route around equipment and obstacles than rigid ventilation ductwork.
Suitable for extraction systems - use with appropriately sized fans, filters and ventilation fittings.
Suitable for air intake - can also be incorporated into compatible fresh-air intake systems.
Ideal for larger growing environments - useful where high airflow and noise control are both important considerations.
Cut to suit - use only the length required for the installation to avoid unnecessary duct resistance.

How does acoustic ducting reduce ventilation noise?

Ventilation noise can originate from several sources, including the extraction fan itself, vibration and turbulent air moving through filters, bends and ductwork. Some of this sound can travel through ordinary flexible ducting and become noticeable elsewhere in the ventilation system.

Acoustic ducting surrounds the flexible inner air passage with insulation designed to absorb transmitted sound. This helps limit the amount of fan and airflow noise travelling along the duct route.

It is particularly useful immediately before or after extraction fans, between compatible ventilation components and along exhaust routes where reducing transmitted noise is desirable.

Acoustic ducting is designed to reduce noise rather than make an extraction system completely silent. Fan design, airflow velocity, vibration, duct length, bends and installation quality all influence the final sound level.

Large-diameter ducting for grow room ventilation

Larger indoor growing environments can require substantial airflow to remove excess heat and humidity and maintain a regular exchange of air. High-capacity extraction fans and carbon filters therefore commonly require larger-diameter ductwork.

The generous 317mm diameter allows this ducting to be paired with compatible large ventilation equipment while the acoustic insulation helps control noise travelling through the system.

It can be used for both extraction and intake routes, making it suitable for building complete ventilation systems in grow rooms and other indoor horticultural environments.

Maintaining efficient airflow

Correct duct installation is particularly important with high-volume ventilation systems. Every metre of duct, bend and fitting creates resistance that the extraction fan must overcome.

Extend flexible ducting sufficiently rather than leaving long sections heavily compressed. A properly extended duct creates a smoother internal airflow path and reduces unnecessary resistance.

Keep the route as short and direct as practical. Avoid crushing the duct, creating excessively tight bends or leaving unnecessary lengths coiled within the installation.

If the full 5m length is not required, the ducting can be cut to the appropriate length for the installation.

Installing 317mm Mute Silent Ducting

Plan the complete ventilation route before cutting or installing the duct. Check that the fan, filter and any connectors or fittings are compatible with the nominal 317mm / 12.5" duct size.

Connect the inner flexible duct securely around the equipment connection using a suitably sized duct clamp or fixing. Suitable HVAC foil tape can be used where additional sealing is required.

Arrange the insulation and outer covering neatly around the completed connection to maintain the acoustic layer as effectively as possible.

Because large-diameter insulated ducting can become relatively bulky over longer runs, provide suitable support rather than allowing its full weight to hang directly from a fan, carbon filter or other ventilation component.

Compatible ventilation equipment

The ducting can be incorporated into appropriately sized ventilation systems using components such as:

Compatible large-diameter inline extraction fans
Compatible carbon filters
Ventilation silencers
Rigid round ducting
Metal duct connectors
Elbows and bends
Reducers and adapters
Suitable duct clamps and fixing accessories

Always check the actual connection diameter of adjoining equipment before installation. Nominal ventilation sizes and the exact outside diameter of individual fittings can vary slightly between manufacturers.

317mm (12.5") Mute Silent Ducting FAQs

What is acoustic ducting?

Acoustic ducting is flexible ventilation ducting surrounded by insulation designed to help reduce sound transmitted through the ductwork.

What size is this ducting?

This version has a nominal diameter of 317mm, approximately 12.5 inches, and is supplied in a 5m length.

What is 317mm ducting used for?

Its large diameter makes it suitable for compatible high-volume ventilation systems used in larger grow rooms and other environments requiring substantial extraction or intake airflow.

Does acoustic ducting make an extraction system silent?

No. It helps reduce sound transmitted through the ductwork but cannot completely eliminate fan motor noise, vibration or airflow noise.

Is it quieter than standard flexible ducting?

Its insulated construction is specifically intended to reduce transmitted ventilation noise compared with basic uninsulated flexible ducting.

Can I connect it to a carbon filter?

Yes, provided the carbon filter connection is compatible with the nominal 317mm / 12.5" duct size.

Can I use it with an extraction fan?

Yes. It is designed for use as part of a compatible ventilation system and can be connected to appropriately sized extraction equipment.

Can this ducting be used for air intake?

Yes. It can be used for compatible intake systems as well as extraction ductwork.

Can the 5m duct be cut?

Yes. It can be cut into the length or individual sections required for the ventilation installation.

Does the length of ducting affect airflow?

Yes. Longer duct runs create additional resistance, so using the shortest practical route can help maintain effective airflow.

Do bends in ducting reduce airflow?

Bends increase resistance, particularly when they are sharp or tightly compressed. Smooth, gradual changes in direction are preferable wherever possible.

Should flexible ducting be fully stretched?

It should be sufficiently extended for the required route rather than left heavily compressed, as excessive internal corrugation can increase airflow resistance.

How should large acoustic ducting be supported?

Use suitable supports along the duct route so that the weight of the ducting is not carried entirely by the extraction fan, filter or connecting fittings.

Can acoustic ducting be used with a ventilation silencer?

Yes. Combining acoustic ducting with a compatible ventilation silencer can provide additional control of sound transmitted through an extraction system.

What else can help reduce grow room extraction noise?

Good duct routing, suitable fan sizing, vibration isolation, appropriate fan-speed control and compatible silencers can all contribute to a quieter ventilation installation.

152mm (6”) x 10m Mute Silent Ducting - Acoustic Insulated Flexible Ventilation Duct

£25.99

Please sign in to see pricing

152mm (6") x 10m Mute Silent Ducting is an acoustically insulated flexible ventilation duct designed to help reduce the transmission of fan and airflow noise through extraction and intake systems.

Ventilation systems can transmit a considerable amount of sound through standard ducting. Noise generated by the fan, together with turbulence and fast-moving air, can travel along the duct run and become audible at the inlet or outlet.

This acoustic ducting uses an insulated construction around the flexible inner airflow duct to help absorb transmitted sound. It provides a practical upgrade from standard uninsulated flexible ducting where quieter ventilation is required.

With a 152mm (6") nominal internal diameter and generous 10m length, it is particularly useful for larger installations, longer duct runs or projects requiring several shorter sections of acoustic ducting.

Why choose 152mm acoustic silent ducting?

Helps reduce ventilation noise - acoustic insulation helps absorb sound transmitted through the ducting system.
152mm / 6" diameter - suitable for compatible 6-inch ventilation equipment.
10 metre length - ideal for longer ventilation runs or cutting into multiple sections.
Insulated construction - designed for applications where reducing transmitted ventilation noise is important.
Flexible design - easier to route around equipment and structural obstacles than rigid ductwork.
Suitable for extraction - ideal for connecting compatible fans, carbon filters, silencers and exhaust routes.
Suitable for intake - can also be incorporated into appropriately designed fresh-air intake systems.
Ideal for indoor horticulture - helps tackle one of the most noticeable sources of grow room noise.
Cut to the required length - use the complete 10m run or divide it to suit the installation.

How does acoustic ducting reduce ventilation noise?

Standard flexible ducting provides an effective route for moving air but offers relatively little acoustic isolation. Sound produced by an extraction fan and turbulent airflow can therefore travel along the same route.

Acoustic ducting adds a layer of sound-absorbing insulation around the inner flexible duct. This helps reduce the amount of noise transmitted through and along the ventilation system.

It can be particularly effective on duct sections immediately before or after an extraction fan, between a carbon filter and fan, or along longer duct runs where ventilation noise would otherwise be noticeable.

Acoustic ducting should be regarded as a noise-reduction component rather than a complete silencing solution. Fan vibration, motor noise, airflow velocity and other components can also contribute to the overall sound produced by an extraction system.

Quieter 6-inch grow room ventilation

152mm-class ventilation equipment is widely used in indoor horticulture where substantial airflow is required for managing heat, humidity and air exchange.

As extraction capacity increases, fan and airflow noise can become more noticeable. Acoustic ducting helps reduce sound transmitted through the ductwork while retaining the flexibility required to route the system around the growing environment.

The 10m length makes this version particularly useful for larger grow rooms, longer extraction routes and installations where the fan or exhaust point is positioned some distance from the growing area.

Building a quieter extraction system

The best results are achieved by considering noise throughout the complete ventilation installation. Sound can originate from the fan motor, vibration, turbulent airflow and air travelling at high velocity through restrictive ductwork.

Acoustic ducting addresses sound transmitted through the duct run, while correctly sized fans and ducting help prevent excessive airflow velocity and resistance.

Where additional noise reduction is required, acoustic ducting can be combined with compatible ventilation silencers, suitable fan-speed control and vibration-isolating mounting methods.

Maintaining airflow through a 10m duct run

Longer duct runs create more resistance than short runs, so installation becomes particularly important when using a substantial length of flexible ducting.

Use only the length required and extend the flexible inner duct sufficiently to avoid unnecessary compression. Excessive internal corrugation, tight bends and crushed sections all increase resistance to airflow.

Keep the route as straight as the installation allows. Where a substantial direction change is required, an appropriately sized rigid metal elbow can provide a cleaner airflow route than forcing the flexible duct around an extremely tight corner.

When planning a long extraction run, remember that carbon filters, silencers, bends, reducers and other fittings also contribute to the total resistance the fan must overcome.

Installing 152mm acoustic ducting

Measure the required route before cutting the duct. The 10m length can be used as a longer continuous run or divided into shorter sections depending on the ventilation layout.

When connecting the ducting to a fan, carbon filter, silencer or rigid fitting, secure the inner duct to the compatible connection using an appropriately sized duct clamp or clip.

Arrange the insulation and outer covering neatly around the joint. Where minimising air leakage is important, suitable HVAC foil tape can also be used as part of the connection and sealing process.

Longer insulated duct runs should be supported at suitable intervals. Avoid allowing the entire weight of the duct to hang directly from an extraction fan, carbon filter or other ventilation component.

Compatible 152mm / 6" ventilation equipment

This ducting is designed for nominal 152mm (6") ventilation installations and can be used alongside appropriately sized components including:

152mm / 6" inline extraction fans
152mm / 6" carbon filters
152mm / 6" acoustic silencers
Compatible rigid round ducting
152mm / 6" elbows and bends
152mm / 6" straight connectors

Yes. Acoustic ducting and a compatible silencer can be used together where additional reduction of transmitted ventilation noise is required.

Can the 10m duct be cut into shorter lengths?

Yes. The ducting can be cut to suit the installation using suitable tools, taking care when cutting the flexible inner duct, reinforcement and insulation.

Can I use this ducting for air intake?

Yes. It can be incorporated into compatible intake systems as well as extraction installations.

Does a 10m duct run reduce airflow?

Longer duct runs introduce more resistance than shorter runs. The actual effect depends on the fan, installation, bends and other components, so unnecessary excess ducting should be avoided.

Should acoustic ducting be stretched out?

It should be extended sufficiently for the required run rather than left heavily compressed. This helps reduce excessive internal corrugation and unnecessary airflow resistance.

Can I bend the ducting around corners?

Yes. Its flexible construction allows changes in direction, but very tight bends that crush the inner duct should be avoided.

How should acoustic ducting be secured?

The inner duct can be secured to compatible ventilation connections using appropriately sized duct clamps or clips, with suitable HVAC foil tape used where additional sealing is required.

Is 152mm silent ducting suitable for grow rooms?

Yes. It is particularly useful for indoor horticultural installations where 6-inch extraction equipment is used and reducing ventilation noise is desirable.

What else can I do to reduce grow room extraction noise?

Use correctly sized ducting, minimise unnecessary bends, isolate fan vibration and consider compatible fan-speed control and acoustic silencers where appropriate.

203mm (8”) x 10m Mute Silent Ducting - Acoustic Insulated Flexible Ventilation Duct

£27.50

Please sign in to see pricing

203mm (8") x 10m Mute Silent Ducting is an acoustically insulated flexible ventilation duct designed to help reduce the noise transmitted through extraction and intake systems.

Ventilation fans create more than just motor noise. Air movement, turbulence and vibration can all travel through standard ducting, making an otherwise effective extraction system noticeably louder. Acoustic ducting helps tackle this by surrounding the inner airflow path with an insulating layer that absorbs and reduces transmitted sound.

With a 203mm (8") internal duct diameter and 10m length, this ducting is particularly suited to medium and high-airflow ventilation systems used in grow rooms, indoor horticulture, workshops and other environments where reducing ventilation noise is important.

Its flexible construction also makes installation considerably easier than rigid ductwork where the ventilation route needs to negotiate equipment, corners or structural obstacles.

Why choose 203mm acoustic silent ducting?

Helps reduce ventilation noise - designed to absorb sound transmitted through the ducting system.
203mm / 8" diameter - suitable for compatible 8-inch ventilation equipment.
10 metre length - provides plenty of ducting for larger installations and longer ventilation runs.
Acoustically insulated construction - helps reduce airborne fan and airflow noise compared with basic uninsulated flexible ducting.
Flexible design - easier to route around equipment and obstacles than rigid ductwork.
Suitable for extraction - ideal for connecting compatible fans, carbon filters and exhaust routes.
Suitable for intake - can also be used on appropriately designed air-intake systems.
Useful for grow rooms - helps create a quieter indoor horticultural environment.
Can be cut to length - use only the amount required for the installation.

How does acoustic ducting reduce noise?

A ventilation system can transmit sound along the same route used to move air. Fan noise and turbulence can travel through ordinary thin-walled ducting and emerge from the opposite end of the system.

Acoustic ducting is constructed differently. An inner flexible airflow duct is surrounded by sound-absorbing insulation and an outer protective layer. The insulation helps absorb some of the sound energy travelling through the duct rather than allowing it to transmit as readily along the ventilation run.

This makes insulated ducting particularly useful immediately before or after an extraction fan, between a fan and carbon filter, or along sections of ductwork where ventilation noise would otherwise be noticeable.

Reducing grow room extraction noise

For the quietest practical ventilation system, noise control should be considered throughout the complete installation rather than relying on one component alone.

Acoustic ducting can help reduce noise transmitted through the ductwork, while fan speed control, acoustic silencers, correctly sized ducting and vibration isolation can address other sources of sound.

Using adequately sized ducting is particularly important. Forcing a large volume of air through undersized ductwork increases air velocity and turbulence, which can make the ventilation system considerably noisier.

Ideal for grow rooms & indoor horticulture

Extraction is essential in many indoor growing environments, but larger fans can create significant noise when operating continuously.

203mm acoustic ducting provides a practical option for installations where 8-inch ventilation equipment is required but keeping the system quieter is also a priority.

It can be used with compatible extraction fans, carbon filters, silencers and other 203mm ventilation components to create a complete air-management system.

Installing 203mm silent ducting

Route the ducting as directly as practical between the ventilation components. Avoid unnecessary tight bends, excessive compression and long sections of heavily sagging duct, as these can increase resistance and turbulence.

When connecting the ducting to a fan, filter, silencer or metal fitting, secure the inner duct correctly to the connection and use a suitable duct clamp or clip. The outer insulated section can then be positioned neatly around the joint.

Where minimising air leakage is important, suitable HVAC foil tape can be used as part of the connection and sealing process.

Support longer duct runs at suitable intervals rather than allowing the weight of the ducting to hang directly from the fan, filter or other ventilation equipment.

Get the best airflow from flexible ducting

Flexible ducting works best when it is installed with unnecessary compression kept to a minimum. Extending the duct sufficiently helps reduce deep internal folds that can increase resistance to airflow.

Keep the route as short and straight as the installation allows. Every bend, restriction and additional length of duct contributes to the resistance the extraction fan must overcome.

Where a sharp 90-degree direction change is required, a compatible rigid metal elbow may provide a cleaner airflow route than forcing flexible ducting around an extremely tight corner.

Compatible 203mm / 8" ventilation equipment

The ducting is intended for compatible nominal 203mm (8") round ventilation systems and can be used alongside appropriately sized components such as:

203mm / 8" inline extraction fans
203mm / 8" carbon filters
203mm / 8" acoustic silencers
203mm / 8" rigid duct fittings
203mm / 8" bends and elbows
203mm / 8" straight connectors
Compatible reducers and adapters
Suitable duct clamps and clips

Always check the actual connection diameter of adjoining equipment before installation, particularly where equipment is described using both metric and imperial sizes.

Atami Rootbastic 500ml - Concentrated Root Stimulator & Root Booster

£31.50

Please sign in to see pricing

A highly concentrated 4-14-4 root stimulator combining mineral nutrition, biostimulants and bio-minerals to support rapid root development, stronger early growth and increased plant resilience.

Atami Rootbastic is a premium concentrated root stimulator developed specifically for the crucial early stages of crop development. Its unusually high concentration of phosphorus, combined with additional mineral nutrition, trace elements and biostimulant components, provides targeted support while plants establish their root systems.

Rootbastic stands apart from many conventional rooting additives because it has a substantial NPK analysis of 4-14-4 W/W. Atami highlights phosphorus as particularly important within the formula because of its role in energy transport and storage and its contribution to essential cellular structures during active plant development.

Alongside its mineral nutrition, Rootbastic contains a concentrated combination of biostimulants and bio-minerals. Atami identifies improved root development, greater resistance to root disease and increased resilience to environmental stress among the principal benefits of the product.

Rootbastic is designed for a short, intensive programme during early crop development. Application begins at only 0.1ml/L and gradually increases to 0.3ml/L, making the 500ml bottle extremely concentrated and economical in use.

Why choose Atami Rootbastic?

Powerful root stimulator – specifically formulated to support vigorous root development during the crucial early stages of plant growth.
High NPK concentration – provides an NPK analysis of 4-14-4 W/W.
High phosphorus content – phosphorus plays an important role in cellular energy transfer and storage during active development.
Biostimulants & bio-minerals – combines mineral nutrition with additional components designed to support plant development.
Trace mineral support – provides trace elements important during early root formation.
Supports healthier root systems – developed to promote strong root establishment before later crop development.
Supports resistance to root disease – Atami identifies increased resistance to root diseases as one of Rootbastic's key benefits.
Environmental stress support – designed to help plants withstand challenging environmental conditions.
Extremely concentrated – used at only 0.1–0.3ml per litre.

When should Atami Rootbastic be used?

Rootbastic is intended for the early rooting and growth stages when the plant is actively establishing its root system. Atami describes the product as being highly effective during the first three weeks of the growth cycle.

Rather than viewing Rootbastic as an all-cycle additive, it is best treated as a concentrated early-stage treatment. The application rate increases progressively as the root system develops, beginning at 0.1ml/L before increasing to 0.2ml/L and finally 0.3ml/L.

This progressive approach provides increasing levels of Rootbastic as the young plant becomes established without immediately introducing the maximum concentration.

Rootbastic is suitable for cultivation in soil, coco coir and hydroponic systems. It can be incorporated into a wider crop nutrition programme during the period when strong root establishment is the priority.

How to use Atami Rootbastic

Shake well before use. Add Rootbastic to the normal nutrient solution during the early rooting and growth phase.

Begin at 0.1ml/L during the first stage of the programme. Increase to 0.2ml/L during the second stage and then to 0.3ml/L during the third stage as root development progresses.

At the initial 0.1ml/L rate, use 1ml for 10L, 5ml for 50L, 10ml for 100L, 50ml for 500L and 100ml for a 1,000L reservoir.

At 0.2ml/L, use 2ml for 10L, 10ml for 50L, 20ml for 100L, 100ml for 500L and 200ml for a 1,000L reservoir.

At the maximum 0.3ml/L rate, use 3ml for 10L, 15ml for 50L, 30ml for 100L, 150ml for 500L and 300ml for a 1,000L reservoir.

Rootbastic increases the EC of the base nutrient solution. EC should therefore be monitored after Rootbastic has been incorporated and the overall nutrient strength adjusted according to the crop, growing medium and stage of development.

Why is phosphorus important during root development?

Rootbastic contains considerably more phosphorus than many conventional root stimulators. Atami highlights phosphorus because it plays a fundamental role in the transport and storage of energy within plants.

Energy captured through photosynthesis is stored and transferred through compounds such as ATP, allowing energy to be moved to areas of active development. Phosphorus is also an important component of cellular structures and DNA.

Rootbastic combines this phosphorus-rich mineral nutrition with trace elements, biostimulants and bio-minerals to create a concentrated formula aimed specifically at the establishment of a healthy root system.

Establishing an extensive root system early in the crop cycle gives the plant a larger foundation through which water and mineral nutrition can subsequently be absorbed as above-ground growth increases.

Hailea ACO-9810 High Output Air Pump – 30L/min

£36.50

Please sign in to see pricing

High-output 30L/min air pump supplied with a 6-way manifold for powerful, reliable aeration across DWC systems, nutrient reservoirs and multiple air stones.

The Hailea ACO-9810 is a high-output diaphragm air pump designed for hydroponic systems that need considerably more aeration than a standard multi-outlet aquarium-style pump. Delivering up to 30 litres of air per minute, equivalent to 1,800 litres per hour, it provides a strong central air supply for larger reservoirs and multi-pot growing systems.

The ACO-9810 is supplied with a 6-way manifold, allowing its main air supply to be divided between several separate airline runs. This makes it particularly useful for DWC and RDWC systems where multiple pots or air stones need to be aerated from a single pump.

Hailea uses a double air chamber, oil-free diaphragm system together with vibration and sound-reducing features. The result is substantial airflow and pressure while maintaining a rated operating noise level below 40dB.

Why choose the Hailea ACO-9810 Air Pump?

30L/min maximum airflow – delivers up to 1,800 litres of air per hour for demanding hydroponic aeration.
6-way manifold supplied – distribute the pump's output between multiple airline runs and air stones.
Ideal for DWC and RDWC – well suited to larger reservoirs and multi-pot hydroponic systems.
Strong air pressure – rated above 0.025MPa for driving air through submerged diffusers.
Low-noise design – double damping and vibration reduction help keep operating noise below 40dB.
Oil-free operation – provides clean compressed air without oil lubrication in the air path.
25W power consumption – efficient operation for a pump delivering up to 30L/min.

High-output aeration for DWC, RDWC and nutrient reservoirs

The ACO-9810 is a strong choice when one central air pump needs to supply several aeration points. The supplied 6-way manifold allows separate airline runs to feed individual DWC pots, air stones or diffusers positioned throughout a larger nutrient reservoir.

Its 30L/min capacity also makes it useful for applications where smaller multi-outlet pumps do not provide enough airflow. Alongside hydroponic nutrient aeration, it can be used for propagation systems and other horticultural setups requiring a dependable continuous air supply.

The 30L/min rating is the maximum total airflow from the pump. When several manifold outlets are used, this airflow is shared between the connected lines rather than each outlet independently producing 30L/min.

How to use the Hailea ACO-9810

Place the pump on a firm, stable surface above the water level of your reservoir. Connect the supplied manifold to the main pump outlet using the connecting hose, then attach compatible airline to the manifold outlets you intend to use.

Connect suitable air stones or diffusers to the opposite ends of the airline and position them in the nutrient solution. Keep airline runs as direct as practical and avoid sharp bends or kinks that could restrict airflow.

Airflow from the pump is divided between the connected manifold outlets. Airline length, water depth and the resistance created by individual air stones will all influence the amount of air reaching each diffuser.

Inspect the manifold, airline and air stones periodically. Mineral deposits and other blockages in an air stone can increase resistance and reduce aeration, so cleaning or replacing restricted diffusers will help maintain consistent performance.

£36.95

Please sign in to see pricing

A concentrated 0-4-12 PK bloom booster with a 1:3 phosphorus-to-potassium ratio, designed to support strong flower development without adding extra nitrogen.

Advanced Nutrients Hammerhead is a specialist flowering supplement developed for the European market. Its 0-4-12 analysis provides a deliberately potassium-led PK profile, giving a 1:3 phosphorus-to-potassium ratio rather than the much closer ratios found in many conventional PK boosters.

The formulation contains no added nitrogen, allowing growers to increase phosphorus and potassium during flowering without unnecessarily increasing nitrogen supplied by the base nutrient.

Advanced Nutrients uses potassium citrate within Hammerhead rather than relying on sulphate of potash. The product is designed to complement a complete base nutrient programme and is especially suited to growers looking for a targeted PK supplement during active flowering.

Why choose Advanced Nutrients Hammerhead?

0-4-12 NPK – a concentrated phosphorus and potassium supplement with no added nitrogen.
1:3 PK ratio – significantly more potassium than phosphorus for a deliberately balanced flowering boost.
Potassium citrate – Advanced Nutrients uses this form of potassium as part of the product's nutrient-availability strategy.
No added nitrogen – allows extra PK to be introduced without increasing the nitrogen contribution of the feeding programme.
2ml/L application rate – straightforward dosing for nutrient tanks and reservoirs.
Designed to complement base nutrients – works alongside the crop's normal flowering feed rather than replacing it.
Broad nutrient compatibility – compatible with Advanced Nutrients pH Perfect and non-pH Perfect base nutrients as well as compatible third-party feeding programmes.
Europe-specific formulation – the current Hammerhead is the newer European version of the legacy Advanced Nutrients product.

What is Advanced Nutrients Hammerhead suitable for?

Hammerhead is primarily designed for flowering crops that need additional phosphorus and potassium alongside a complete base nutrient programme.

The current Advanced Nutrients feeding chart introduces Hammerhead at 2ml/L during established vegetative development and again from the developing flowering phase through active and later flowering. Rather than tying this to fixed calendar weeks, Creation recommends following crop development and the wider feeding programme.

Hammerhead has been specifically designed to pair with the Advanced Nutrients Sensi Terra base nutrient range. Advanced Nutrients also confirms compatibility with its pH Perfect base nutrients, its other non-pH Perfect base nutrients and supplements, and compatible programmes using nutrients from other manufacturers.

How to use Advanced Nutrients Hammerhead

Shake the container thoroughly before use. Prepare the normal base nutrient solution first, mixing each component thoroughly into the water.

Add Hammerhead at 2ml per litre when it is required within the feeding programme. During flowering, the manufacturer's current schedule uses Hammerhead from the developing bloom phase through active and later flowering, then stops application for the final flush.

For 10L of nutrient solution, use 20ml. For 50L, use 100ml. For a 100L reservoir, use 200ml.

Hammerhead is a PK supplement rather than a complete nutrient. Continue using the appropriate base nutrient to supply the wider macro and micronutrient profile required by the crop.

Philips MASTER GreenPower Xtra 1000W EL DE - 2150µmol/s Double-Ended HPS Lamp

£43.75

Please sign in to see pricing

The Philips MASTER GreenPower Xtra 1000W EL DE is a professional double-ended high-pressure sodium (HPS) lamp developed for high-output horticultural lighting, delivering an initial photon flux of approximately 2150µmol/s.

Designed for use with suitable high-frequency electronic control gear, the GreenPower Xtra combines very high plant-light output with strong output maintenance over its operating life. Philips developed the Xtra generation specifically to improve growth-light performance and maintenance in professional crop-production environments.

The lamp uses a K12x30s double-ended base and operates horizontally in compatible 1000W DE fixtures. Its clear tubular construction minimises obstruction between the arc tube and reflector, while the double-ended design allows accurate positioning within compatible optical systems.

With a 2000K colour temperature and the characteristic red-rich output of horticultural HPS technology, the lamp is particularly suited to high-intensity flowering and fruiting applications as well as commercial supplementary lighting.

Why choose the Philips MASTER GreenPower Xtra 1000W?

Approximately 2150µmol/s initial photon flux - very high plant-light output for intensive horticultural applications.
Professional 1000W HPS technology - designed for high-output crop lighting.
Double-ended construction - designed for compatible DE fixtures using K12x30s lamp holders.
High-frequency electronic operation - developed for compatible electronic control gear.
Excellent output maintenance - engineered to retain a high proportion of its plant-light output through its rated operating period.
2000K colour temperature - provides the red-rich spectrum associated with high-pressure sodium horticultural lighting.
Clear T40 outer bulb - compact tubular construction designed for efficient use within compatible reflectors.
Dimmable - suitable for dimming when operated with compatible control gear and within the manufacturer's operating requirements.
Philips professional horticultural lamp - developed specifically for crop-lighting applications rather than general-purpose illumination.

2150µmol/s high-output horticultural lighting

For plant lighting, photon output is a much more useful performance measure than simply comparing lamps by visible brightness. The Philips MASTER GreenPower Xtra produces an initial photon flux of approximately 2150µmol/s, placing it firmly within professional high-intensity horticultural lighting.

This high photon output allows suitable fixtures to deliver substantial photosynthetically active light over the crop area. Actual PPFD at canopy level will depend on the fixture, reflector, mounting height, spacing, room geometry and overall lighting layout.

For commercial installations, fixture spacing and mounting height should therefore be determined from an appropriate lighting plan rather than lamp wattage alone.

Designed for strong light-output maintenance

Initial output is only part of the performance of a professional horticultural lamp. As discharge lamps accumulate operating hours, their output gradually declines.

Philips designed the GreenPower Xtra range to provide strong growth-light maintenance over its service period. Published Philips horticultural data specifies an initial photon flux of approximately 2150µmol/s and a maintained value of approximately 2040µmol/s after 10,000 operating hours.

This high level of output retention is particularly valuable in professional crop production, where declining lamp performance can gradually reduce the amount of light reaching the crop even though the lamps continue to operate normally.

2000K HPS spectrum for flowering & fruiting crops

The MASTER GreenPower Xtra has a nominal colour temperature of 2000K, producing the warm, red-rich spectral profile characteristic of horticultural high-pressure sodium lighting.

HPS remains particularly effective for flowering and fruiting crops and is also widely used as high-intensity supplementary lighting in professional greenhouse production.

Where spectral balance is an important part of the crop strategy, the HPS output can also be considered alongside natural daylight or other artificial lighting technologies within the overall lighting design.

Double-ended K12x30s lamp design

Unlike a conventional single-ended HPS lamp, the GreenPower Xtra is supported and electrically connected at both ends using a K12x30s double-ended base.

This construction allows the lamp to sit horizontally within a compatible reflector and removes the need for the internal return-frame arrangement associated with many traditional single-ended HID lamps.

The lamp must only be used in a fixture specifically designed for the correct double-ended lamp format and electrical operating requirements. It is not interchangeable with a conventional E40 screw-fit HPS lamp.

Requires compatible electronic control gear

The MASTER GreenPower Xtra 1000W EL is designed for operation with compatible high-frequency electronic control gear. The lamp cannot be connected directly to the mains supply.

Correct matching between the lamp, electronic ballast and fixture is essential. The ballast must provide the electrical operating characteristics required by this specific lamp type.

Do not assume that any ballast labelled simply as 1000W is suitable. Compatibility should be confirmed against the ballast or fixture manufacturer's specifications before installation.

Operating position & heat management

Philips specifies this lamp for parallel or horizontal operation. It should therefore be installed in a compatible fixture that maintains the correct lamp orientation.

A 1000W HPS system produces substantial radiant and convective heat. Appropriate fixture clearance, air movement and environmental control are essential when designing the installation.

The lamp and fixture become extremely hot during operation. Allow adequate cooling time before handling, servicing or replacing the lamp.

Philips MASTER GreenPower Xtra 1000W FAQs

What is the light output of the Philips GreenPower Xtra 1000W?

Philips specifies an initial horticultural photon flux of approximately 2150µmol/s, making it a very high-output HPS lamp for professional crop lighting.

How well does the GreenPower Xtra maintain its output?

Published Philips horticultural data gives an initial output of approximately 2150µmol/s and around 2040µmol/s after 10,000 operating hours, demonstrating strong photon-output maintenance over its rated life.

Is this a double-ended HPS lamp?

Yes. It uses a K12x30s double-ended base and must be installed in a compatible double-ended horticultural fixture.

Will this lamp fit an E40 reflector?

No. An E40 reflector uses a large screw-type lamp holder. This Philips lamp uses a K12x30s double-ended fitting and requires the appropriate DE fixture.

Does the lamp need a ballast?

Yes. The lamp requires compatible high-frequency electronic control gear and must not be connected directly to the mains supply.

Can I use any 1000W electronic ballast?

Not automatically. Ballast compatibility depends on the electrical operating requirements of the lamp. Confirm that the specific ballast or fixture is approved for this type of Philips 1000W EL double-ended lamp.

What does 2000K mean for plant lighting?

2000K describes the lamp's warm colour temperature. The resulting HPS spectrum is strongly weighted towards yellow, orange and red wavelengths and is widely used for flowering, fruiting and supplementary greenhouse lighting.

Can the Philips GreenPower Xtra 1000W be dimmed?

Philips lists the lamp as dimmable. Dimming must be carried out using compatible electronic control gear and within the operating limits specified for the lamp and ballast combination.

Why is photon flux measured in µmol/s rather than lumens?

Lumens describe light according to human visual sensitivity. Photon flux expressed in µmol/s is more relevant to horticultural lighting because it quantifies the photosynthetically active photons produced by the light source.

Can the lamp be mounted vertically?

Philips specifies parallel or horizontal operation for this lamp. It should be installed in a compatible fixture that maintains the required operating position.

When should a horticultural HPS lamp be replaced?

A discharge lamp can continue operating after its useful plant-light output has begun to decline. Professional installations commonly manage replacement according to operating hours and measured light performance rather than waiting for the lamp to fail completely.

How should a used Philips HPS lamp be disposed of?

HID lamps contain materials including mercury and require appropriate lamp recycling rather than disposal with general waste. If a lamp breaks, follow Philips' handling guidance and use an appropriate recycling or hazardous-lamp waste route.

Extraction or intake - suitable for moving extracted air out of an environment or routing fresh air into it.
Cut to the required length - use only the amount of ducting necessary for each part of the system.
Suitable for indoor horticulture - particularly useful with larger grow room ventilation systems where noise control is important.

How does acoustic ducting reduce ventilation noise?

Ventilation noise does not only originate directly from an extraction fan. Fan sound, vibration and turbulent airflow can travel through ordinary ductwork and become audible at other points in the ventilation route.

Acoustic ducting surrounds the flexible inner air passage with an insulating layer designed to absorb transmitted sound. This helps reduce the amount of fan and airflow noise travelling along the duct run.

It can be particularly useful immediately before or after an extraction fan, between a fan and carbon filter, or along longer ventilation routes where transmitted sound needs to be controlled.

Acoustic ducting is designed to reduce ventilation noise rather than make an extraction system completely silent. Fan design, fan speed, airflow velocity, vibration, duct routing and installation quality will all influence the final noise level.

Designed for high-capacity grow room ventilation

Larger grow rooms and controlled horticultural environments can require substantial air movement to manage heat, humidity and general air exchange. As ventilation capacity increases, controlling the associated noise becomes increasingly important.

The 254mm / 10" diameter is suitable for compatible high-volume extraction equipment, while the insulated construction helps reduce sound transmitted through the ducting.

It can be incorporated into complete ventilation systems using compatible inline fans, carbon filters, metal duct fittings, reducers, bends and other appropriately sized components.

Maintaining good airflow through flexible ducting

Correct installation is important because every length of duct, bend and fitting introduces resistance to airflow. This becomes especially relevant with longer ventilation runs.

Extend the duct sufficiently rather than leaving unnecessary sections heavily compressed. A more fully extended inner duct provides a smoother airflow path and can help reduce avoidable turbulence and resistance.

Keep the route as short and direct as the installation allows. Avoid crushing the duct and minimise tight bends, with gradual changes in direction preferable wherever possible.

Although this product provides 10 metres of ducting, there is no requirement to use the full length. Cutting each section to the amount actually required can help create a cleaner and more efficient ventilation installation.

Installing 254mm Mute Silent Ducting

Check that the fan, carbon filter and other ventilation fittings have compatible nominal 254mm / 10" connections before installation.

Fit the flexible inner duct securely over the ventilation connection and fasten it using an appropriately sized duct clamp or suitable fixing. HVAC foil tape can be used where additional sealing is required.

Arrange the acoustic insulation and outer covering neatly around the completed joint so that the insulating layer remains as continuous as practical.

Long duct runs should be supported at suitable intervals. Avoid allowing the full weight of a long section of ducting to hang directly from the extraction fan, carbon filter or another ventilation component.

254mm (10") Mute Silent Ducting FAQs

What is acoustic ducting?

Acoustic ducting is flexible ventilation duct surrounded by insulation designed to help reduce sound transmitted through a ventilation system.

What size is this ducting?

This version has a nominal diameter of 254mm, equivalent to 10 inches, and is supplied in a 10 metre length.

Is this suitable for a 10-inch extraction fan?

Yes, provided the fan has a compatible nominal 254mm / 10" connection. Check the fan connection dimensions before installation.

Can it be connected to a 10-inch carbon filter?

Yes. It can be used with a compatible 254mm / 10" carbon filter as part of an appropriately sized extraction system.

Does acoustic ducting make an extraction fan silent?

No. Acoustic ducting helps reduce noise transmitted through the ductwork, but it cannot completely eliminate fan motor noise, vibration or the sound created by moving air.

Is acoustic ducting quieter than standard flexible ducting?

Its insulated construction is specifically intended to reduce transmitted ventilation noise compared with basic uninsulated flexible ducting.

Can this ducting be used for intake as well as extraction?

Yes. It can be incorporated into compatible fresh-air intake systems as well as extraction systems.

Can I cut the 10m duct into shorter lengths?

Yes. The ducting can be cut to suit the installation, making the 10m version useful when several individual duct sections are required.

Do I need to use the entire 10 metre length?

No. Use only the amount required. Keeping ventilation routes reasonably short and direct generally helps minimise unnecessary resistance.

Does a longer duct run reduce airflow?

Longer duct runs introduce additional resistance. Bends, fittings and compressed flexible duct can add further resistance, so ventilation systems should be planned with the total duct route in mind.

Do bends in the duct affect extraction performance?

Yes. Tight bends can increase airflow resistance, so smooth and gradual changes in direction are preferable where the installation allows.

Should flexible acoustic ducting be fully extended?

It should be extended sufficiently for the required run rather than left unnecessarily compressed. This helps provide a smoother internal path for airflow.

Where is the best place to use acoustic ducting?

It can be used throughout a compatible ventilation route. Sections immediately around powerful extraction fans can be particularly useful where reducing transmitted fan noise is a priority.

Does a 10m run need supporting?

Yes. Longer duct runs should be supported appropriately rather than allowing their weight to hang entirely from the fan, filter or connecting fittings.

How can I make a grow room extraction system quieter?

Acoustic ducting can form part of a quieter installation alongside sensible duct routing, correctly sized fans and filters, vibration isolation, suitable fan-speed control and ventilation silencers.

Lumatek 30W UV Supplemental LED Bar - UVA & UVB Supplementary Light for Zeus LEDs

£50.00

Please sign in to see pricing

The Lumatek 30W UV Supplemental LED Bar is a dedicated UVA and UVB lighting module designed to supplement compatible Lumatek Zeus full-spectrum LED fixtures during the flowering stage.

Rather than replacing the main full-spectrum light source, the 30W UV Bar adds carefully targeted ultraviolet wavelengths to an existing Zeus lighting system. It combines UV-A from 315-400nm with UV-B from 280-315nm, while producing no UV-C radiation.

The unit has been specifically designed to mount directly onto Lumatek Zeus LED fixtures, creating a clean integrated lighting system without requiring a separate overhead fixture. An integrated 30W driver, passive thermal management and IP65 construction make it a purpose-built professional lighting accessory.

Multiple UV bars can also be connected in series using the separately available Lumatek UV Bar Daisy Chain Cable, with support for up to 30 units in a daisy chain.

Why choose the Lumatek 30W UV Supplemental LED Bar?

Dedicated UVA and UVB spectrum - supplements full-spectrum LED lighting with targeted ultraviolet wavelengths.
UV-A 315-400nm - provides a substantial UVA component alongside the main lighting spectrum.
UV-B 280-315nm - adds targeted UVB radiation for strategic flowering-stage supplementation.
No UV-C output - designed specifically around UVA and UVB wavelengths.
Developed for Lumatek Zeus LEDs - designed to integrate directly with the Zeus full-spectrum LED range.
30W power consumption - dedicated supplementary output without adding another full-power lighting fixture.
Integrated driver - the LED driver is built into the fixture.
Daisy-chain capability - connect multiple UV bars in series using the appropriate cable.
Up to 30 bars per daisy chain - useful for larger professional installations.
IP65 construction - protected against dust and water ingress for use in appropriate indoor growing environments.
Passive cooling - no cooling fan is required.
140° light distribution - designed to spread supplementary UV across the target crop area.

Targeted UVA & UVB supplementation

Conventional full-spectrum horticultural LEDs concentrate primarily on photosynthetically active radiation. The Lumatek UV Bar extends the lighting programme beyond this conventional spectrum by introducing ultraviolet wavelengths.

The fixture produces UV-A between 315 and 400nm and UV-B between 280 and 315nm. Lumatek specifies output of approximately 12,000mW UVA and 100mW UVB.

Importantly, the fixture is designed specifically for UVA and UVB supplementation and does not produce UV-C radiation.

Designed for strategic flowering-stage use

Lumatek developed the 30W UV Supplemental LED Bar to augment its Zeus full-spectrum lighting systems during flowering rather than to operate as the primary crop light.

Ultraviolet light should therefore be regarded as a controlled supplementary treatment. Exposure duration, distance and crop response all matter, and more UV is not automatically better.

Growers introducing UV supplementation should follow Lumatek's current application recommendations rather than simply operating the bars for the entire main lighting photoperiod.

Designed for Lumatek Zeus LED fixtures

The 30W UV Bar has been designed to fit directly into compatible Lumatek Zeus fixtures. Lumatek recommends using multiple bars to achieve appropriate distribution across the footprint of its larger full-spectrum LEDs.

The manufacturer's recommended arrangement includes a minimum of two 30W UV bars with compatible Zeus fixtures covering larger production areas. The exact number required depends on the Zeus model and installation.

This modular design allows an existing Zeus lighting installation to be upgraded with targeted UV output without replacing the main full-spectrum fixture.

Daisy-chain multiple UV bars

Each UV bar incorporates an input and output connection so multiple units can be linked together in series.

Lumatek specifies daisy-chain capability for up to 30 UV bars. This is particularly useful in larger commercial installations where numerous supplementary fixtures need to be powered in an organised arrangement.

The required 4m power cable and 1.5m UV Bar Daisy Chain Cable are sold separately. This allows the installation to be configured according to the number and position of bars required.

Integrated driver & passive cooling

The Lumatek UV Bar contains its own integrated 30W, 220-240V AC driver, helping keep the installation compact and straightforward.

Heat is managed through a passive heatsink rather than a cooling fan. This removes moving cooling components and allows the bar to operate silently.

Airflow around the fixture should not be restricted. Lumatek warns that excessive heat build-up can significantly reduce the service life of the UV LEDs.

Important UV safety information

This product emits ultraviolet radiation. UVA and particularly UVB require different handling considerations from conventional visible horticultural lighting.

Avoid unnecessary exposure of skin and eyes to operating UV fixtures and follow all safety instructions supplied by Lumatek. The bars should be switched off before carrying out work that would place people directly beneath or close to the UV source.

Do not look directly at operating UV LEDs. Do not connect or disconnect the fixture while it is under electrical load, and allow adequate airflow around the bar during operation.

The IP65 rating does not mean the product is intended for outdoor use or immersion. Lumatek specifies the fixture for appropriate climate-controlled indoor environments.

317mm (12.5”) x 10m Mute Silent Ducting - Acoustic Insulated Flexible Ventilation Duct

£57.50

Please sign in to see pricing

317mm (12.5") x 10m Mute Silent Ducting is a large-diameter acoustically insulated flexible ventilation duct designed to help reduce fan and airflow noise transmitted through high-volume extraction and intake systems.

Large ventilation systems can move substantial volumes of air, but powerful extraction fans and high airflow rates can also generate noticeable noise. This insulated ducting provides a practical way to reduce sound transmission through the ductwork while retaining the flexibility required for routing around fans, filters and other ventilation equipment.

The flexible inner airflow duct is surrounded by an acoustic insulation layer that helps absorb transmitted sound. This makes it particularly useful for larger grow rooms, indoor horticultural facilities and other controlled environments where high-capacity ventilation equipment may operate for extended periods.

Supplied as a generous 10 metre length with a nominal 317mm / 12.5" diameter, it is well suited to longer ventilation routes and can also be cut into shorter sections where required.

Why choose 317mm acoustic silent ducting?

Helps reduce ventilation noise - acoustic insulation helps absorb sound transmitted through the ductwork.
Large 317mm / 12.5" diameter - suitable for compatible high-volume ventilation systems.
10 metre length - ideal for longer duct runs or cutting into several individual sections.
Acoustically insulated construction - designed for quieter air movement compared with basic uninsulated flexible ducting.
Flexible design - easier to route around equipment and obstacles than rigid ventilation ductwork.
Suitable for extraction systems - use with appropriately sized inline fans, carbon filters and ventilation fittings.
Suitable for air intake - can also be incorporated into compatible fresh-air intake systems.
Ideal for larger grow rooms - particularly useful where high airflow and ventilation noise control are both important.
Cut to the required length - the 10m roll provides flexibility when designing larger or more complex ventilation installations.

How does acoustic ducting help reduce noise?

Ventilation noise can originate from the extraction fan, vibration and turbulent air moving through filters, fittings and ductwork. Some of this sound can travel along ordinary flexible ducting and become noticeable at other points in the ventilation system.

Acoustic ducting surrounds the flexible inner air passage with insulation designed to absorb transmitted sound. This helps reduce the amount of fan and airflow noise travelling along the duct route.

It can be particularly useful immediately before or after powerful extraction fans, between compatible ventilation components and along exhaust routes where controlling transmitted sound is important.

Acoustic ducting is designed to reduce transmitted ventilation noise rather than make a system completely silent. Fan design, airflow velocity, vibration, duct routing and installation quality all influence the final sound level.

Large-diameter ducting for high-volume grow room ventilation

Larger indoor growing environments can require substantial airflow to remove excess heat and humidity and maintain a regular exchange of air. High-capacity extraction systems therefore commonly use larger fans, filters and ductwork.

The 317mm / 12.5" diameter makes this ducting suitable for compatible large-scale ventilation installations, while the acoustic insulation helps control the noise transmitted through the ductwork.

The 10m length is particularly useful for larger rooms, longer exhaust routes and installations where several sections of acoustic ducting are required.

Maintaining efficient airflow

Correct duct installation is important in any extraction system, particularly where large volumes of air are being moved. Every metre of ducting, bend and fitting creates resistance that the ventilation fan must overcome.

Extend flexible ducting sufficiently rather than leaving large sections heavily compressed. A properly extended duct provides a smoother internal airflow path and reduces unnecessary resistance.

Keep the route as short and direct as the installation allows. Avoid crushing the duct, creating excessively tight bends or leaving unnecessary lengths coiled within the ventilation system.

Although this product provides 10m of ducting, there is no requirement to use the complete length in a single run. Cutting the duct to the required length can help keep the system efficient.

Installing 317mm Mute Silent Ducting

Plan the ventilation route before cutting the duct and check that the fan, filter and any connectors or fittings are compatible with the nominal 317mm / 12.5" size.

Connect the inner flexible duct securely around the compatible ventilation connection using a suitably sized duct clamp or fixing. Suitable HVAC foil tape can be used where additional sealing is required.

Arrange the insulation and outer covering neatly around the completed connection so the acoustic layer remains as continuous as practical.

Large-diameter insulated ducting can become relatively bulky over a long run. Provide suitable support along the route rather than allowing the entire weight of the duct to hang directly from the extraction fan, carbon filter or another ventilation component.

Compatible ventilation equipment

This ducting can be incorporated into appropriately sized ventilation systems using components such as:

Compatible large-diameter inline extraction fans
Compatible carbon filters
Ventilation silencers
Rigid round ventilation ducting
Metal duct connectors
Elbows and bends
Reducers and adapters
Suitable duct clamps and fixing accessories

Always check the actual connection diameter of adjoining equipment before installation. Nominal ventilation sizes and the exact outside diameter of individual fittings can vary slightly between manufacturers.

317mm (12.5") Mute Silent Ducting FAQs

What is acoustic ducting?

Acoustic ducting is flexible ventilation ducting surrounded by insulation designed to help reduce sound transmitted through the ductwork.

What size is this ducting?

This version has a nominal diameter of 317mm, approximately 12.5 inches, and is supplied in a 10m length.

What is 317mm ducting used for?

Its large diameter makes it suitable for compatible high-volume ventilation systems used in larger grow rooms and other environments requiring substantial extraction or intake airflow.

Does acoustic ducting make an extraction system silent?

No. It helps reduce sound transmitted through the ductwork but cannot completely eliminate fan motor noise, vibration or airflow noise.

Is acoustic ducting quieter than standard flexible ducting?

Its insulated construction is specifically intended to reduce transmitted ventilation noise compared with basic uninsulated flexible ducting.

Can I connect it to a carbon filter?

Yes, provided the carbon filter connection is compatible with the nominal 317mm / 12.5" duct size.

Can I use it with an extraction fan?

Yes. It can be connected to appropriately sized extraction equipment as part of a compatible ventilation system.

Can this ducting be used for air intake?

Yes. It can be used for compatible intake systems as well as extraction ductwork.

Can I cut the 10m roll into shorter lengths?

Yes. The duct can be cut to suit the installation, allowing the roll to be used for one long ventilation route or several shorter sections.

Should I use the entire 10m length?

Only where the installation requires it. Using the shortest practical duct route generally helps minimise airflow resistance.

Does duct length affect extraction performance?

Yes. Longer duct runs create additional resistance, particularly when combined with multiple bends and fittings.

Do bends in ducting reduce airflow?

Bends increase resistance, especially when they are sharp or tightly compressed. Smooth, gradual changes in direction are preferable wherever possible.

Should flexible ducting be fully extended?

It should be sufficiently extended for the required route rather than left heavily compressed, as excessive internal corrugation can increase airflow resistance.

How should a long run of acoustic ducting be supported?

Use suitable supports along the route so that the weight of the ducting is not carried entirely by the extraction fan, carbon filter or connecting fittings.

What else can help reduce extraction-system noise?

Good duct routing, suitable fan sizing, vibration isolation, appropriate fan-speed control and compatible ventilation silencers can all contribute to a quieter ventilation installation.

Advanced Nutrients Hammerhead PK Bloom Booster – 10L

£58.95

Please sign in to see pricing

A concentrated 0-4-12 PK bloom booster with a potassium-led 1:3 phosphorus-to-potassium ratio and no added nitrogen.

Advanced Nutrients Hammerhead is a specialist PK supplement developed for the European market. Its 0-4-12 analysis delivers a deliberately potassium-led nutrient profile, providing additional phosphorus and potassium alongside the crop's normal base nutrient.

With no added nitrogen, Hammerhead gives growers a way to increase PK without unnecessarily increasing the nitrogen contribution of the feeding programme. Advanced Nutrients uses potassium citrate within the formulation and has developed Hammerhead to complement its Sensi Terra nutrient range particularly well.

The concentrated 2ml/L application rate makes this 10L format particularly well suited to larger reservoirs, commercial growing areas and high-volume feeding programmes. At the standard rate, one 10L container provides enough concentrate for approximately 5,000 litres of nutrient solution.

Why choose Advanced Nutrients Hammerhead?

0-4-12 NPK – concentrated phosphorus and potassium supplementation with no added nitrogen.
1:3 phosphorus-to-potassium ratio – a deliberately potassium-led PK profile developed for flowering crops.
Potassium citrate – the potassium form highlighted by Advanced Nutrients in the European formulation.
No added nitrogen – increases PK without adding further nitrogen to the feeding programme.
Concentrated 2ml/L rate – economical dosing for large nutrient tanks and reservoirs.
Works alongside base nutrients – supplements a complete feeding programme rather than replacing the base feed.
Designed to complement Sensi Terra – particularly well suited to the Advanced Nutrients Sensi Terra programme.
10L commercial format – a practical choice for larger growing areas and regular high-volume nutrient preparation.

What is Advanced Nutrients Hammerhead suitable for?

Hammerhead is designed for growers who want targeted phosphorus and potassium supplementation alongside a complete base nutrient programme.

The Advanced Nutrients feeding schedule introduces Hammerhead during established vegetative development and then again from developing flowering through active and later flowering. Following crop stage rather than fixed calendar weeks makes the guidance more useful across crops and varieties with different production cycles.

The 10L size is particularly useful where larger volumes of nutrient solution are prepared regularly, including commercial growing areas and multi-reservoir installations. Hammerhead is especially well matched to Advanced Nutrients Sensi Terra, while also fitting into compatible pH Perfect, non-pH Perfect and third-party nutrient programmes.

How to use Advanced Nutrients Hammerhead

Shake the container thoroughly before use. Prepare the normal base nutrient solution first, mixing each nutrient or supplement thoroughly into the water as it is added.

Add Hammerhead at 2ml per litre when required within the feeding programme. During flowering, use it from the developing bloom phase through active and later flowering, then discontinue Hammerhead for the final flush.

For 10L of nutrient solution, use 20ml. For 50L, use 100ml. For a 100L reservoir, use 200ml. A 500L reservoir requires 1 litre at the standard 2ml/L rate.

Hammerhead is a PK supplement rather than a complete fertiliser, so continue using the appropriate base nutrient to provide the wider macro and micronutrient profile required by the crop.

Krystal Carbon Filter 8” 200mm x 600mm - 1125m³/h RC412 Activated Carbon Air Filter

£62.90

Please sign in to see pricing

The Krystal 8" Carbon Filter 200mm x 600mm is a high-capacity 1125m³/h air filter filled with 100% RC412 Australian virgin activated carbon for effective odour control in filtered extraction systems.

Designed for higher-airflow ventilation applications, this model combines a 200mm / 8" connection, 600mm filter body and 1125m³/h airflow rating.

Krystal Carbon Filters use 100% RC412 Australian virgin activated carbon. The highly porous carbon provides an enormous internal surface area onto which unwanted gaseous odour compounds can adsorb as extracted air passes through the filter.

The filter is constructed around a lightweight aluminium housing with an open-area mesh outer surface. This provides a large air-entry area while helping keep the complete filter manageable for suspended ventilation installations.

Why choose the Krystal 8" Carbon Filter?

1125m³/h airflow rating - designed for substantial filtered extraction systems.
8" / 200mm connection - suitable for compatible high-airflow fans and 200mm ventilation systems.
600mm filter body - provides substantial carbon filtration capacity.
100% RC412 Australian virgin activated carbon - high-quality activated carbon selected for air filtration.
Effective odour adsorption - captures unwanted gaseous odour compounds from extracted air.
Lightweight aluminium housing - robust construction while helping reduce installation weight.
Open-area mesh - provides a large surface through which air can enter the carbon filter.
High-capacity filtration - suited to larger controlled horticultural environments.
Standard 200mm connection - straightforward integration with compatible fans, ducting and fittings.

100% RC412 Australian virgin activated carbon

Krystal specifies 100% RC412 Australian virgin activated carbon for this carbon filter range.

Activated carbon contains an extremely porous internal structure. These microscopic pores create a very large surface area capable of attracting and retaining suitable gaseous compounds from the air.

As contaminated air is drawn through the filter, odour-causing compounds adhere to the surface of the RC412 carbon through adsorption. The treated air then continues through the extraction system.

This process makes activated carbon particularly effective for treating odour-bearing extraction air and is fundamentally different from ordinary dust or particulate filtration.

1125m³/h airflow capacity

The Krystal 200mm x 600mm Carbon Filter is rated at 1125 cubic metres per hour.

The extraction fan needs enough performance to overcome resistance from the carbon filter, ducting and other ventilation components while remaining appropriately matched to the filter's airflow capacity.

Carbon filters naturally introduce resistance, so actual installed fan airflow will normally be lower than the fan's unrestricted maximum rating.

At the same time, excessive airflow can reduce contact time between the air and activated carbon. Correctly matching the fan and filter therefore supports both ventilation performance and effective odour adsorption.

200mm connection with 600mm filter body

The filter uses a 200mm / 8" nominal connection, allowing it to integrate with appropriately sized fans, ducting and fittings.

Keeping the ventilation system at the full 200mm diameter wherever practical helps minimise unnecessary resistance and excessive air velocity.

Its 600mm body provides a substantial carbon bed while retaining practical dimensions for installation in larger controlled environments.

Installing the Krystal 8" Carbon Filter

In a typical filtered extraction system, environmental air is drawn through the outer mesh and activated carbon bed before reaching the extraction fan.

Connections should be secure and reasonably airtight. Air entering the system downstream of the carbon filter can bypass filtration and reduce overall odour-control performance.

Support the filter securely and independently.
Use 200mm ducting and fittings wherever practical.
Pair with a fan appropriate for the 1125m³/h filter rating.
Keep duct runs short and direct where possible.
Avoid unnecessary tight bends and reductions.
Secure all connections to minimise untreated air bypass.
Keep the open-area mesh unobstructed.

Maintaining effective RC412 carbon filtration

Activated carbon has a finite adsorption capacity. As air is processed, unwanted compounds progressively occupy available adsorption sites within the carbon.

Filter life varies according to operating hours, airflow, contaminant concentration and environmental conditions.

Keeping excessive dust away from the filter and maintaining appropriate airflow helps preserve effective operation.

If unwanted odours begin passing through despite correct ventilation operation and secure connections, the carbon filter may be approaching the end of its useful service life.

What carbon does this filter use?

It is produced using 100% RC412 Australian virgin activated carbon.

Why is RC412 activated carbon used for air filtration?

Its highly porous structure provides a very large internal surface area onto which suitable gaseous odour compounds can adsorb as air passes through the carbon bed.

What size ducting should I use?

The filter has a nominal 200mm / 8" connection, so matching 200mm ducting and fittings should be used wherever practical.

What extraction fan should I use?

Select a compatible fan according to the filter's 1125m³/h rating, required environmental airflow and resistance from the complete ventilation system.

Will the carbon filter reduce fan airflow?

Yes. The carbon bed creates resistance, so actual installed fan airflow will normally be lower than the fan's unrestricted maximum airflow.

Can I use a variable-speed fan?

Yes. A suitable variable-speed fan allows airflow to be adjusted to match the requirements of the filter and ventilation system.

Should the filter be installed before the fan?

A common configuration draws air through the carbon filter first and then through the extraction fan so the air is treated before entering the exhaust ductwork.

Is the Krystal carbon filter made with an aluminium housing?

Yes. Krystal specifies a lightweight aluminium housing for the range.

What does the open-area mesh do?

It provides a large surface through which air can enter the cylindrical filter before passing through the activated carbon bed.

Can I reduce this filter to smaller ducting?

A reducer can be used where necessary, but reducing duct diameter increases airflow resistance and can reduce overall ventilation performance.

How long does the RC412 carbon last?

Service life depends on operating hours, airflow, contaminant concentration and environmental conditions, so an exact universal lifespan cannot be given.

How do I know when the filter needs replacing?

If unwanted odours begin passing through despite correct airflow and secure ventilation connections, the activated carbon may be reaching the end of its effective adsorption capacity.

Is this suitable for a larger filtered extraction system?

U-GO Carbon Filter 8” 200mm x 600mm - Pro Grade 4/8 Activated Carbon Air Filter

£65.50

Please sign in to see pricing

The U-GO Carbon Filter 8" 200mm x 600mm is a premium activated carbon air filter engineered around carefully selected Pro Grade 4/8 carbon, with an emphasis on high airflow, low restriction and dependable odour filtration.

U-GO takes a particularly selective approach to the carbon used inside its filters. Because activated carbon is a natural material and its quality can vary between production batches, U-GO states that it selects only the premium 20% of the carbon produced for use within its filtration range.

The carbon is independently batch tested, de-dusted and selected to provide the particle characteristics required for effective airflow. U-GO uses Pro Grade 4/8 carbon, with material that fails its quality and air-stream testing rejected rather than used within the filter.

The result is a 200mm carbon filter designed to combine effective odour adsorption with reduced airflow restriction, helping a correctly matched extraction fan maintain useful ventilation performance once the filter is installed.

Why choose the U-GO 8" Carbon Filter?

Premium carbon selection - U-GO states that only the top 20% of carbon produced is selected for its filters.
Pro Grade 4/8 carbon - selected particle size designed to balance filtration performance and airflow.
Independently batch tested - carbon quality is checked before being accepted for use.
De-dusted carbon - selected and processed to minimise excessive carbon dust.
Minimum 20% butane adsorption test requirement - carbon failing U-GO's specified air-stream quality testing is rejected.
Low-restriction design - engineered to maintain strong airflow through the filter.
200mm / 8" connection - integrates with compatible fans, ducting and ventilation fittings.
600mm filter body - provides substantial filtration capacity in a manageable format.
Designed for odour filtration - activated carbon adsorbs suitable gaseous odour compounds from extracted air.
Built for filtered extraction - suitable for pairing with an appropriately specified 200mm extraction fan.

Premium selected Pro Grade 4/8 carbon

Not all activated carbon performs identically. Carbon is a natural material, so particle size, dust content and adsorption performance can vary between batches.

U-GO's approach is to grade the carbon before it reaches the finished filter. The brand states that it purchases only the premium 20% of available carbon, with the material independently batch tested, de-dusted and selected before use.

The filters use Pro Grade 4/8 carbon. Selecting a suitable carbon particle size is important because the carbon bed needs to provide a large adsorptive surface without creating excessive resistance to airflow.

Carbon that is too fine or excessively dusty can increase resistance. U-GO's carbon specification is intended to provide a balance between effective adsorption and the free movement of air through the filter.

Batch tested for carbon quality

U-GO states that its carbon is independently batch tested rather than assuming every batch of natural activated carbon will perform to the same standard.

The selection process includes assessment of carbon particle characteristics and air-stream performance, with a stated minimum 20% butane adsorption requirement.

Material that is too small, excessively dusty or does not meet the required testing standard is rejected rather than being used in the finished U-GO filter.

This quality-control approach is intended to provide more consistent filtration performance from one production batch to another.

How activated carbon removes odours

Activated carbon contains a huge network of microscopic pores. These pores give the carbon an extremely large internal surface area relative to its physical size.

As odour-bearing air passes through the carbon bed, suitable gaseous compounds adhere to the carbon surface through a process known as adsorption.

The effectiveness of the process depends on carbon quality, the amount of carbon available, airflow, contact time and the concentration of compounds being treated.

Carbon filtration is therefore different from simply trapping visible dust. Its main role is treating gaseous odour compounds carried within the extraction airstream.

Designed for high airflow with low restriction

Every carbon filter introduces some resistance because the air must travel through a bed of activated carbon before reaching the extraction fan.

U-GO places particular emphasis on reducing unnecessary restriction. Its selected Pro Grade 4/8 carbon is intended to provide the particle characteristics required for good airflow without compromising the filter's ability to adsorb odour compounds.

This matters because the airflow quoted for an extraction fan is generally its maximum performance under defined conditions. Once a carbon filter, ducting, bends and other components are added, the actual airflow delivered by the system will be lower.

A lower-restriction filter helps preserve more of the fan's available airflow while still providing the carbon bed required for odour filtration.

200mm / 8" connection with 600mm body

This U-GO Carbon Filter has a nominal 200mm / 8" connection and a 600mm filter body.

Using matching 200mm ducting, fans and fittings wherever practical helps maintain an efficient airflow path through the ventilation system.

Reducing the duct diameter increases air velocity and system resistance, so unnecessary reductions should be avoided where maximum airflow performance is required.

Installing the U-GO Carbon Filter

In a typical filtered extraction system, air is drawn through the carbon filter before entering the extraction fan. The treated air then travels through the exhaust ductwork.

Fan and filter performance should be considered together. The fan needs sufficient pressure capability to overcome the resistance of the filter and duct system while remaining appropriately matched to the filter.

Support the filter securely and independently.
Use 200mm ducting and fittings wherever practical.
Match the extraction fan appropriately to the filter and required airflow.
Keep duct runs as short and direct as possible.
Minimise unnecessary bends and reductions.
Keep connections secure to prevent untreated air bypass.
Avoid obstructing the filter's air-entry surface.

Carbon filter service life

Activated carbon has a finite adsorption capacity. As the filter processes contaminated air, compounds gradually occupy more of the available adsorption sites within the carbon.

U-GO's selected carbon and low-restriction filter design are intended to support effective filtration and a longer expected operating life, but actual service life will always depend on the installation.

Operating hours, airflow, environmental conditions and the concentration of compounds being removed can all affect how quickly a carbon filter becomes saturated.

If unwanted odours begin passing through despite correct ventilation operation and secure connections, the carbon filter may be approaching the end of its effective service life.

U-GO 8" 200mm x 600mm Carbon Filter FAQs

What size is this U-GO Carbon Filter?

This model has a nominal 200mm / 8" connection and a 600mm filter body.

What type of carbon does U-GO use?

U-GO specifies selected Pro Grade 4/8 activated carbon for its carbon filter range.

What does Pro Grade 4/8 carbon mean?

It refers to the selected particle grade used within the filter. Carbon particle characteristics affect both adsorption and the resistance created as air passes through the carbon bed.

Why does U-GO select only part of each carbon supply?

Activated carbon is a natural material and its characteristics can vary between batches. U-GO states that it selects the premium 20% of carbon produced for use in its filters.

Is U-GO carbon batch tested?

Yes. U-GO states that its carbon is independently batch tested, de-dusted and selected before being used in its filters.

What is the 20% butane adsorption specification?

U-GO specifies a minimum 20% butane adsorption requirement as part of its carbon quality testing, with material that fails its required standard rejected.

Why does carbon particle size matter?

Particle characteristics influence both the available carbon surface and resistance to airflow. U-GO selects its Pro Grade 4/8 carbon to provide a balance between filtration and airflow.

Does U-GO de-dust its carbon?

Yes. De-dusting forms part of the stated U-GO carbon selection process and helps reduce unnecessary fine carbon material within the filter.

What size ducting should I use?

This model has a nominal 200mm / 8" connection, so matching 200mm ducting and fittings should be used wherever practical.

Can I use this with a 200mm extraction fan?

Yes. It is designed for integration into a 200mm ventilation system. Fan performance should also be matched to the airflow requirements and resistance of the complete installation.

Will a carbon filter reduce fan airflow?

Yes. All carbon beds introduce some resistance. U-GO's carbon selection and filter design place particular emphasis on maintaining airflow while still providing effective carbon filtration.

Can I reduce the filter into smaller ducting?

A suitable reducer can be used where required, but reducing duct diameter increases system resistance and may reduce available airflow.

How does the U-GO Carbon Filter remove odours?

Odour-bearing air passes through the activated carbon bed, where suitable gaseous compounds adsorb onto the enormous internal surface area of the carbon.

How long does a U-GO Carbon Filter last?

Actual service life depends on operating hours, airflow, contaminant concentration and environmental conditions, so a single replacement interval cannot accurately apply to every installation.

How do I know when the carbon filter needs replacing?

If unwanted odours begin passing through despite suitable airflow, secure connections and correct ventilation operation, the activated carbon may be approaching the end of its effective adsorption capacity.

U-GO 8” 200mm EC Extraction Fan 1230m³/h - Digital Thermostatic Controller Included

£92.50

Please sign in to see pricing

The U-GO 8" 200mm EC Extraction Fan delivers up to 1230m³/h of airflow using an efficient 9-pole digital EC brushless motor, with a detachable digital thermostatic controller included as standard for variable-speed and temperature-responsive ventilation control.

Designed for powerful but controllable air movement, the U-GO combines a 200mm / 8" connection with 1230m³/h maximum airflow. Its EC motor technology provides efficient variable-speed operation while producing the static pressure required to work effectively within real ventilation systems containing ducting, bends and carbon filters.

Unlike a basic fixed-speed extraction fan, the U-GO is supplied with its own detachable digital controller. This provides fully variable fan-speed control together with thermostatic temperature control, allowing ventilation to respond more closely to changing environmental conditions.

The fan is built around a sturdy steel housing with ABEC 7 ball bearings and is also compatible with external 0-10V control via RJ9 or RJ11 connection, providing additional options when integrating it into a more advanced environmental-control system.

Why choose the U-GO 8" EC Extraction Fan?

1230m³/h maximum airflow - substantial extraction capacity through a compact 200mm fan.
9-pole digital EC brushless motor - efficient electronically commutated motor technology designed for variable-speed ventilation.
Digital thermostatic controller included - no separate basic fan controller is required for standalone temperature-responsive operation.
Fully variable fan speed - adjust ventilation output to suit changing environmental requirements.
7.85 CFM per watt stated efficiency - designed to move substantial volumes of air efficiently.
Strong static-pressure performance - useful when airflow must overcome resistance from carbon filters and ductwork.
0-10V control compatible - supports external control via RJ9 or RJ11 connection.
Sturdy steel housing - robust construction for demanding ventilation installations.
ABEC 7 ball bearings - designed for smooth, reliable fan operation.
200mm / 8" connection - integrates with appropriately sized ducting, filters and ventilation fittings.

9-pole digital EC brushless motor

At the centre of the U-GO is a 9-pole digital EC brushless motor. EC stands for electronically commutated, combining a brushless motor design with electronic control.

This technology is particularly well suited to environmental ventilation because fan speed can be varied efficiently rather than relying solely on full-power operation.

U-GO states a fan efficiency of 7.85 CFM per watt, with the design intended to provide both strong linear airflow and static-pressure performance.

Static pressure becomes particularly important once a fan is connected to real ventilation equipment. Carbon filters, ducting, bends and other components all resist airflow, so a fan's ability to maintain useful airflow against resistance matters as much as its unrestricted maximum airflow figure.

Digital thermostatic controller included

Every U-GO fan is supplied with a detachable digital controller, giving the user direct control over fan operation without needing to purchase a separate basic speed controller.

The controller provides fully variable speed adjustment and thermostatic temperature control. This allows ventilation to be configured around the required environment rather than simply running the extraction fan at maximum speed continuously.

When environmental demand is lower, reducing fan speed can decrease unnecessary airflow, electrical consumption and ventilation noise. As additional cooling or air exchange becomes necessary, fan output can be increased.

This makes the U-GO particularly useful where ventilation requirements vary as lighting load, external temperature and other environmental conditions change.

1230m³/h high-airflow ventilation

The 8" U-GO provides a maximum airflow of 1230 cubic metres per hour, making it suitable for substantial intake or extraction applications.

Maximum airflow figures describe fan performance under defined conditions and should not be confused with the airflow that will necessarily be achieved after installation.

Carbon filters, long duct runs, tight bends, reducers, silencers and compressed flexible ducting all introduce resistance and can reduce actual system airflow.

Keeping the ventilation route short, correctly sized and as direct as practical helps the U-GO make better use of its available airflow and static-pressure capability.

0-10V environmental controller compatibility

In addition to its supplied digital controller, the U-GO supports 0-10V external control via RJ9 or RJ11 connection.

A 0-10V control signal allows compatible environmental-control equipment to regulate EC fan speed without controlling the fan by simply reducing its mains supply.

This provides scope for integrating the fan into more advanced ventilation strategies where compatible equipment is being used.

Always confirm the connection, control signal and cable requirements of the external controller before connecting third-party environmental-control equipment.

Ideal for carbon-filtered extraction

The U-GO's combination of high airflow and static-pressure performance makes it well suited to carbon-filtered extraction systems.

A carbon filter naturally creates resistance as air is pulled through the activated carbon bed. The fan therefore needs enough pressure capability to maintain the required ventilation rate once the filter is installed.

For best results, match the fan with a carbon filter of suitable airflow capacity and connection diameter. A variable-speed EC fan is particularly useful because airflow can then be adjusted to suit both the filter and the environmental requirement.

Getting the best performance from the U-GO 200mm Fan

Use 200mm ducting and fittings wherever practical.
Keep duct runs as short and direct as the installation allows.
Minimise unnecessary tight bends and reductions.
Avoid crushing or heavily compressing flexible ducting.
Match carbon-filter airflow capacity appropriately to the fan.
Secure and support the fan correctly.
Use the supplied digital controller to avoid unnecessary full-speed operation.
Use compatible 0-10V control equipment where integration with a wider environmental-control system is required.

Correct ventilation design allows the fan to provide the required air exchange at the lowest practical operating speed, helping balance environmental control, energy use and noise.

Premium selected Pro Grade 4/8 activated carbon

Carbon quality has a major influence on the performance of an activated carbon filter. Natural carbon can vary in particle size, dust content and adsorption capability, which is why U-GO places particular emphasis on selecting the material used within its filters.

U-GO states that it purchases only the premium 20% of carbon produced. The selected carbon is independently batch tested, de-dusted and checked before being used within the finished filter.

The filter uses Pro Grade 4/8 activated carbon. Particle characteristics are important because the carbon bed needs to provide extensive adsorptive surface area while still allowing substantial volumes of air to pass through efficiently.

Carbon that is excessively fine or dusty can create unnecessary airflow resistance. U-GO's selected 4/8 grade is intended to provide an effective balance between odour filtration and airflow.

Independently batch tested carbon

U-GO states that its activated carbon is independently batch tested rather than assuming every batch of natural carbon will provide identical performance.

The selection process assesses the carbon for characteristics required for effective air filtration, with U-GO specifying a minimum 20% butane adsorption requirement.

Carbon that is too small, excessively dusty or does not meet the required air-stream testing standard is rejected rather than being used within the finished filter.

This quality-control process is intended to provide more consistent filtration and airflow performance throughout the U-GO carbon filter range.

How activated carbon removes unwanted odours

Activated carbon contains an enormous network of microscopic pores. This creates a very large internal surface area relative to the physical volume of carbon within the filter.

As odour-bearing air passes through the carbon bed, suitable gaseous compounds adhere to the carbon surface through a process known as adsorption.

Carbon quality, airflow, contact time, environmental conditions and contaminant concentration all influence the effectiveness of this process.

The U-GO filter is therefore primarily designed to treat suitable gaseous odour compounds carried within extracted air rather than simply acting as a dust or particulate filter.

Designed for high airflow with low restriction

Every carbon filter introduces some airflow resistance because the extraction fan must draw air through a packed carbon bed.

U-GO's use of selected Pro Grade 4/8 carbon is intended to provide the particle characteristics required for effective adsorption without creating unnecessary restriction.

This is particularly important in larger 250mm ventilation systems, where maintaining duct diameter and minimising system resistance helps preserve the airflow available from the extraction fan.

Actual airflow will depend on the complete installation. Carbon filtration, duct length, bends, silencers, reducers and other ventilation components can all increase static pressure and reduce the airflow delivered by the fan.

250mm / 10" connection with 600mm filter body

This U-GO Carbon Filter combines a nominal 250mm / 10" connection with a 600mm filter body.

The large connection diameter makes it suitable for substantial ventilation systems while the 600mm body provides significant activated carbon filtration capacity.

Using matching 250mm fans, ducting and ventilation fittings wherever practical helps maintain a consistent airflow path through the system.

Where reducers are required, remember that reducing duct diameter increases air velocity and resistance and may reduce overall system airflow.

Installing the U-GO 250mm Carbon Filter

In a typical filtered extraction arrangement, environmental air is drawn through the carbon filter before entering the extraction fan. The treated air then continues through the exhaust ductwork.

Fan and filter performance should be considered together. The extraction fan needs sufficient airflow and static-pressure capability to overcome resistance from the carbon filter and duct system while maintaining the required ventilation rate.

Support the carbon filter securely and independently.
Use 250mm ducting and fittings wherever practical.
Match the extraction fan appropriately to the filter and required airflow.
Consider fan performance under static pressure rather than unrestricted airflow alone.
Keep duct runs as short and direct as practical.
Minimise unnecessary tight bends and diameter reductions.
Secure connections to minimise untreated air bypass.
Keep the filter's air-entry surface unobstructed.

Carbon filter life & replacement

Activated carbon has a finite adsorption capacity. As contaminated air passes through the filter, gaseous compounds progressively occupy the available adsorption sites within the carbon.

U-GO's selected carbon and low-restriction design are intended to provide effective filtration and a longer expected operating life, but actual service life depends on the installation and operating conditions.

Operating hours, airflow, contaminant concentration and environmental conditions can all influence how quickly the activated carbon becomes saturated.

If unwanted odours begin passing through despite suitable airflow, correct installation and secure connections, the carbon may be approaching the end of its effective adsorption capacity.

U-GO 10" 250mm x 600mm Carbon Filter FAQs

What size is this U-GO Carbon Filter?

This model has a nominal 250mm / 10" connection and a 600mm filter body.

What type of activated carbon does U-GO use?

U-GO specifies selected Pro Grade 4/8 activated carbon for its carbon filter range.

What does Pro Grade 4/8 carbon mean?

It refers to the selected particle grade used within the filter. Particle characteristics influence both adsorption performance and resistance to airflow through the carbon bed.

Why does U-GO select only part of its carbon supply?

Activated carbon is a natural material and its characteristics can vary between batches. U-GO states that it selects only the premium 20% of carbon produced for use within its filters.

Is U-GO activated carbon batch tested?

Yes. U-GO states that its carbon is independently batch tested, de-dusted and selected before use.

What is the minimum 20% butane adsorption specification?

U-GO specifies a minimum 20% butane adsorption requirement as part of its carbon quality testing, with material that fails the required standard rejected.

Why does activated carbon particle size matter?

Particle characteristics affect both adsorption and airflow. Excessively fine or dusty carbon can create additional resistance through the filter.

Does U-GO de-dust its activated carbon?

Yes. De-dusting forms part of U-GO's stated carbon selection and preparation process.

What size ducting should I use?

This filter has a nominal 250mm / 10" connection, so matching 250mm ducting and fittings should be used wherever practical.

Can I use this with a 250mm extraction fan?

Yes. It is designed for integration into a 250mm ventilation system. The fan should also be appropriately matched to the filter and resistance of the complete installation.

Will the carbon filter reduce extraction airflow?

Yes. Every carbon filter creates some resistance. U-GO's selected carbon grade and low-restriction design are intended to maintain strong airflow while providing effective filtration.

Can I reduce the 250mm connection into smaller ducting?

A suitable reducer can be used where necessary, but reducing duct diameter increases air velocity and resistance and can reduce overall airflow.

How does activated carbon remove unwanted odours?

Odour-bearing air passes through the activated carbon bed, where suitable gaseous compounds adsorb onto the enormous internal surface area of the carbon.

How long does a U-GO Carbon Filter last?

Service life depends on operating hours, airflow, contaminant concentration and environmental conditions, so there is no single replacement interval suitable for every installation.

How do I know when the carbon filter needs replacing?

If unwanted odours begin passing through despite correct ventilation operation and secure connections, the activated carbon may be approaching the end of its effective adsorption capacity.
