Active Air and all those cheap fans are shit. They work but they go out and def aren't the cfm they are rated for and are noisey.. Stick with people like Can, Eclipse and Vortex. Tried and true workhorses for a reason.
A/C infinity and it’s quiet. I got the six inch cheaper model (not the one with the control panel) it is awesome and moves some air for sure.guess what happened - just after i last posted.......returning the fan under warranty...
anyone runs Phresh 150 mm exhaust fans? or Can Max Pro? let's look at those variacs....
It’s hooked up to a six inch x eighteen inch phresh filter and it really moves air well. No smell at all. Definitely would purchase againA/C infinity and it’s quiet. I got the six inch cheaper model (not the one with the control panel) it is awesome and moves some air for sure.

About six months running at between 20-75% nonstop since I plugged it in. I’m like you. Wanted quality and after weeks of research it was the ac or the vortex I litterally flipped my phone for the pick. As you can see it landed on the ac. I also got the black insulated 6” venting tubing that they sell and it’s really good too. High quality products for sure.How long have you had it? Always wondered about those. Similar to the Vortex S line.
That's way overkill for a fan controller. The reason your fan is loud is the type of motor they use in the fan. Cheap ass fans use cheap ass motors. Why it buzzes when you cut the power to them. I've used vortex fans for years and they have zero issues even using the cheap ass 11 dollar fan controllers on them. everything from 6in to 12 in. Don't skimp on fans. Some of my vortex's have been running for 5 to 6 years 24/7 with zero issues. Save 100 bucks on a fan to buy a 120 dollar fan controller so it doesnt buzz?
Also to add if your fan starts buzzing when you put it on a controller you are basically killing the life of your fan and that fan will never work right lowering the power.

I have 2 6” and 1 4” green active air inline fans and the active air speed controllers running 24/7 for over 5 years now. They are almost as quiet as mt 6” hyper fans with the included digital speed controller.
The air flow drowns out most of the fan noise anyway.
A duct muffler quieted things down some when i had close neighbors at the old house.

The fans like to be level. Its hard on the bearings if its not.
I have always had them level. Never thought about it though. Maybe it helped.
I'm sure it did. Most things with bearings are designed to be operated in a specific orientation for optimal life span. All the manuals I've seen mention to make sure they are level.
Optimally though all moving things break down. It's part of "doing buisness". Just think of how much you would have to spend if you had to buy the cannabis instead of growing it lol.
I checked the instructions and no mention of mounting level. Does show mounting options. The bracket can be mounted 2 ways.
I thought about this some and maybe its dust that takes them out? I filter dust. Not much passes through any of my fans.

They never mention buzz either. Unless that's one of the Grey Poupon fans mentioned previously (wink), I really wouldn't expect the instructions to be that cranial (distinguishing the type of bearing used, which orientation produces a safe operating load on the bearing. It does make a difference whether it's blowing down or up, against gravity or with it.). It's very likely that mounting any other way than horizontally would affect bearing life. Even more likely they won't say anything about that because they like selling more fans (the same way they like selling buzzing controllers.). If the choice is between "because we use radial bearings with a thrust sleeve, the alternate mount orientation is not advised" and saying nothing, I guarantee they're saying nothing. Why would they point out a negative? (When they won't even accurately describe the "controller?").
In other words: If they really engineered it for that, I'm pretty sure they would play that up.
Yeah cant argue that logic. But my active air controllers only buzz noticeably if turned down very low. Otherwise i dont hear them over the air flow.
Do you hear any buzz?
