I know that others have posted filters, however, I decided to make one myself.
The basic body is 2" PVC. It comes apart in the middle so that the charcoal medium that you use can be replaced every year.
At any rate, here it is:
The individual parts before glue up:
Parts List:
2each: 1 1/2” x 1” PVC Bushing
2each: 2” x 1 1/2” DWV Reducer/Increaser
2each: ¾ x 1/2” FE Hose to Barb (If you can find ¾ x 5/8” itwould be better)
1each: 2” DWV Male Adapter
1each: 2” DWV Female Adapter
2each: 1” x 3/4” PVC Male Adapter
1each: 1” x 2' PVC pipe
1each: 2” x 2' PVC Pipe
To keep the charcoal medium in (in my case, I am using cat litter), you need to block passage thru the gaarden hose fittings. So, I used a pot scrubber that I cut some material from and then put it into the feet of an old pair of panty hose. Then you just stuff it into the ends of the rub goldberg special.
.
Then use PVC primer and cement to put the parts together:
Unscrew the center and put whatever charcoal medium that you are using in the shell:
.
I installed it by using tie wraps to fasten the filter to one of the hold down straps for my waste tank:
.
Since the garden hose connection is 3/4" x 1/2" barbed, that means that an 1/2" ID hose will connect to the barb.
My stink vent hosing is 5/8" ID, so, I had to buy 1/2" x 5/8" nylon barbed splicers and some 3/4" OD x 1/2" ID BR Vinyl Tubing. When you want to change the charcoal medium, cut the tie wraps, remove the filter, unsrew it in the center and dump the old material. replace with new material and re-install.
