    Ventilation question

    Okay, probably a stupid question. Buuut, if I put a 6 inch fan with a filter on it on a 4 inch PVC pipe about ten ft long, would I be able to get slightly more cfm through it than with the 4 inch fan? I'll have an 11x6x80" room with two 3x3s in it, they will have a 4 inch fan and filter pulling...

    Hey everyone. I’m looking for an intake filter for a 6” fan. I’ve read that it’s possible to use various hepa filters and such, instead of getting something like a Phresh filter. What do you all use? & how do you attach it to your fan/ducting? Links and/or pics would be amazing. I’ll be...

    Can I get away with a smaller fan than I have????

This damn fan is loud. the air coming out of it is damn...

    Fan & Filter question

    If I'm getting a vortex s line 6" fan (374cfm), would it be best to run a 6"x16" carbon filter(400cfm), or a 8"x20" carbon filter (730cfm)? Its for a 4x2" flower tent. I think the 6" is the best value, but I have seen some people use bigger filters than fans. I'm planning to use a variac 3 amp...

    Fan and filter setup question...

    What's folks opinion on placement of the fan in an exhaust setup? I've been using my fan to pull air through my filter and lights then push it outside. Is that a better setup than having the fan right after the filter pushing air through my hoods to the outside?
