TL;DR: what are your tricks to keep the interior air of a house pleasant when living in a stinky locale?
For the next couple years, I am stuck on land* in a house that is occasionally downwind from a paper mill. Holy hell, the smell can be eye-wateringly bad when the winds blow just the wrong way. The house is ~1700 square feet with HVAC.
*I normally live on my sailboat and move around at will.
I have an ozone generator for serious de-stinking, but wow ozone is nasty even in small quantities. I have a Corsi-Rosenthal box, but that does nothing for smells. I was thinking maybe a big tray of activated charcoal in the HVAC intake and another in the CR box. In my experience, the tiny charcoal filters in most air cleaners get saturated in about 48 hours. What works for y’all? Super extra bonus points for ongoing maintenance and cost-reduction tips and tricks.
Thank you fellow Lemmings for anything ya got.
How does any of that help air quality? All you’ve done is make a hole to the outside.
I’m glad I’m not the only one who is confused
Kinda funny that computer cases sometimes need 6 or more of these to keep a whole cubic foot of space cool but this person is using a single one to air their whole house out.
Well yea, but at the same time keeping a 300+ W PC cool is not the same as just…moving the air
It’s a window with extra steps and less usability
