fan and filter setup, help!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i have went through two fans in two years, anyway i just bought a can filter the 6 in high output. anyway i think it has to be the way im running it. i have fan pulling through light then going out through a decent amount of duct then on the end is a filter. should i suck air through the filter instead of pushing it through? the bearings are what is wrong with all the others that have broke, they went out on them. i have it tied to a beam also not screwed in? could this be letting it wobble a little and ruining the bearings?

Yep, always suck, and keep bends wide and to a minimum.

this may help a little

ok thanks ill check it out

The length of run of ducting is usually the culprit, these fans are meant to push or pull but as you add length is gets harder on the blades and bearings begin to heat and sieze up. With long runs 2 or 3 fans may be required.

How long is your run?

thanks for the reply, its about 60 or 70 feet but i can make it shorter if i have to

Better shorten it up, alot. You'll need 2 and Im leaning towards 3 fans to do that.
