Got 2 admit Ive been waiting for u 2 pop up n tell me how stupid my comment bout blowing thru filters was after @bob31 said ur the HVAC expert!
Nice 2 know i was talking sense!
Ive decided that for my extraction Im gona use 4" plastic pipe elbow (rather than a right angle as this should cause less air resistance meaning less noise?!?) coming out the top of my tent into a straight short length of 4" plastic pipe connected to a 4" fan directly connected to my filter
N for my air intake Im gona go passive n use a straight length of 3" or 2" plastic pipe going from tent to soffit (tents in attic)
Hopefully Im right thinking solid plastic pipe will be quieter than flexible ducting?!?
Couple this with the fan Im getting which has a sound level of 24db n hopefully everything will b as quiet as can b?!?
Yeah ive learnt that you def need a pre filter to prolong the life of the filter
Have seen YouTube vid of pre filter cut down so it rolls up n fits inside the filter
Was thinking bout having mine over the end of the pipe like that goes into the tent like @bob31 to make it easier to remove / clean / replace
Should b a lot easier than taking the filter n fan apart to get to it!
Yeah Anything that makes maintenance easier Iām all for
You sound like your on top of things then bro
Iāll be around should you need anything just tag me
Peace CB
Less than 2 months in, the filter was totally clogged and needed to be replaced. I attribute that to my humidifier putting out dust, however, their pre-filter is junk and letās too much through. My new filter (another brand) is considerably better.
3.5 months in, the motor started to make a wobbling and squeeling sound. Had to keep it running because I couldnāt shut it down. The other day I emailed them and they sent a replacement no questions asked. Good customer service.
So, not sure Iāll be buying their brand again. I suppose it depends on the response I get today on the replacement. Good customer service but quality?
That sucks Iām sure they will make it right bro but dam you didnāt even use it lol
Maybe the ups guy is mad at you and kicked it off the truck hahahaha @Matthew420
Well its been a while but my fan n filter have arrived so ive now got a question for you (blame @bob31 for telling me ur his hvac go to guy!)
The fan i got was the envirovent silent mv 160/100s
Its the one you looked at on my āPlease check my numbers before i buy first fan!ā post
Now my question is how do you connect it to a speed controller?!?
The installation instructions shows it being wired directly into a variable speed controller (or REB as the instructions call it?!?) but all the fan controllers ive seen have plug sockets for the fans to be plugged in to?
So does this fan need a certain type of controller that it can be wired into or do i simply attach a plug on the end?!?
