Exhaust System In Basement Vents Odors Outside
 ✖  |
I love cats but unfortunately I have allergies, and odors from the cat's litter box caused me a lot of problems. So I made an exhaust system in our basement that vents the odors outside the house. A plastic storage box is used to cover the litter box. Flexible metal ductwork runs from a hole cut into the top of the box up and outside the house through a vent installed next to the clothes dryer vent. An in-line electric fan mounts inside the ductwork and is activated by a motion detector on top of the box. The fan connects to a 20-minute timer. The cat enters the box through a hole in one side, which starts up the fan. It stays on for 20 minutes.
Before I installed this system I couldn't even go in the basement without sneezing. Now it's not a problem at all. (Joe Hinger, 13772 Glazier Ct., Apple Valley, Minn. 55124 ph 952 953-0347)
