The crucial element here is getting a charcoal filter that has the charcoal on the side facing away from the intake of the air warmer
Living in a swamp poses a multitude of frustrating limitations that could make or cut a person’s living set up. For one, the humidity levels are much higher in these wet areas than other portions of the state that are on dry land. Since it’s recommended that indoor spaces retain a 30-50% humidity level, you may need a dehumidifier to run in tandem with your central cooling unit if you live in a swamp like I do. On top of that, the swamp smells can be extremely intimidating to most people. Imagine an smellous fish tank that is chocked full of algae and hasn’t been cleaned in weeks… That’s what it feels like living in a swamp whenever the sun is beating down on the disgusting pond water and there’s no breeze for miles. If you happen to own animals of any kind, you can imagine having a house with numerous smells that you can’t really contend with. That’s how I felt until I found charcoal cooling system filters. They are sprayed with activated charcoal and carbon crystals that absorb smells as air passes through the modern Heating and Air Conditioning system’s air handler. However, a lot of the cheaper charcoal air filters aren’t as fantastic as others, and I’ve come across reviews about charcoal flakes ending up in evaporator coils and in the fan. The crucial element here is getting a charcoal filter that has the charcoal on the side facing away from the intake of the air warmer. That way the charcoal is stuck in the mesh of the filter itself. The low quality charcoal filters have the crystals on the other side of the mesh where they can easily cut off and fly into the air warmer itself, collecting on the coil and fan blades.
