4.2. Carbon Filter

The heavy-duty carbon filter includes a metal housing and stainless steel flanges for durability. It utilizes RC412 activated carbon for effective odor control and air purification, with a 38mm carbon layer for enhanced absorption. A pre-filter is included to capture large particles, extending the filter's lifespan.

7. Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and longevity of your air filtration kit.

• Carbon Filter: The pre-filter should be cleaned or replaced periodically depending on usage and air quality. The main carbon filter can be reversed to extend its life. Replace the carbon filter when odor control effectiveness diminishes.
• Ducting: Inspect the flexible ducting for any tears or damage that could affect airflow. Ensure clamps remain secure.
• Fan: Keep the fan blades and housing clean from dust and debris to maintain efficient airflow and quiet operation.

8. Troubleshooting

• Fan Not Turning On: Check if the power cord is securely plugged into an outlet and the fan. Ensure the RJ12 cable is properly connected to the GGS Controller. Verify the fan is not set to 'Off' in manual mode or within a 'standby' period in programmed modes.
• Inaccurate Temperature/Humidity Readings: Ensure the 3-in-1 sensor is positioned correctly and not obstructed. Avoid placing the sensor directly in airflow or near heat sources.
• Poor Odor Control: Check the carbon filter for blockages or saturation. Clean or replace the pre-filter. Consider reversing the carbon filter if it hasn't been done recently.
• App Connectivity Issues: Ensure your mobile device has a stable internet connection and the GGS Controller is within Wi-Fi range. Restart the app and controller if necessary.
