Inline blower/fan 4"

[TedeBoy]

As I gather together items for my small grow area I'm looking for a small and low CFM 4" inline blower that can pull air through a 12" charcoal filter.

I don't need a lot of air moved. My grow area is small.
Most fans I see are for larger spaces and cost accordingly. I'm not looking for that much.
Any sources? Thanks a million!

Active Air 4" Inline Fan, 165cfm is a good quality, low price fan. To pull thru the filter you need a good quality fan, the cheap ones may die on you very fast...

I have this fan and use it on a 12" Carbon filter. It works great. I would also recommend a variac speed controler if sound is an issue.

Thanks. Is this fan relatively quiet? What is the best and quietest 4" fan?

The vortex brand...

How about this?

If you need quiet, get the vortex. Check out the YouTube video reviews from monster Gardens...

The vortex brand...

i have always used vortex fans, NEVER had a problem. I sent one back to them because i felt it was getting louder then the other (paranoid grower maybe?) and they sent me a brand new one. When your crop will be ruined if a fan blows, its worth buying quality ones. They also have like a 3-4 year no questions asked warranty that you will never have to use.

I'm considering a space that could be 4 x 4, 5 x5, for T5 lights and another at 4x8, 5x9 for 1000W DE hps. What SIZE Vortex fans would I need for these size areas (grow tents)?

I don't understand. How many tents will you have? And in what rooms?

 

[Cowboy Kahlil]

Two tents, the smaller one will either be 4x4 or 5x5, the larger will be 4x8 or 5x9

 

[Cowboy Kahlil]

The smaller will be veg with t5 lights, the larger will be HPS lights.

Are the tent exausht holes 6, 8 or 10 inches?

 

[Cowboy Kahlil]

Haven't decided on which tent to buy yet. So will the actual tent vent hole size be the answer? (Sorry, if it's a 'duh' question)

yes correct.... happy growing...

Thanks, I'll do my bestest.

One 8" vortex fan can easily exhaust both of those tents.

 

[purplehays1]

likely a 6" would be plenty, depending on temps. U can just put a T on it and run ducting to both tents. centrifugal blowers are very strong.

I hooked up this fan today.

Wow...perfect for my small space and the quiet running of this fan is very impressive.

That is not correct my tent had 10 inch holes but u can adjust the holes with the pull cord u run the fan u need I run. 4 in fan 10in filter with a 600w cooltube no probs and temps about 27 degrees Celsius my tent is 1.2 metres by 1.2 metres
