AtomicSunfish Posted June 20 Share Posted June 20 HOB filters increase evaporation rates, but why? Is it the cut out in the back of the hood? Is it the HOB box? Is it the circulation? A combination of these, or something else? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The temperature and air in your I believe plays a role. @AtomicSunfish 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoofyGarra Posted June 20 Share Posted June 20 Basically HOB filters create water agitation, water agitation creates more surface area on the surface of the water. which means the water evaporates more as it has more spots to evaporate from. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
