im sure it would. but with it being inside.. im just gonna go with the recommendation rmoltis made he has zero issues with his setup over the last year, it will be quite and long lasting.. and how my parents think they rather buy once.

thanks tho.

chris.

Yup I run 2 can fans and @jumpincactus runs can fans.

I got The recommendation from him when I started. And the phresh filters everyone recommends.

You'll be great and have 0 worries for a few years.

I read quite often about members wishing they bought the right stuff first. Rather than replacing cheap junk.

I spent around $2k to setup a 2x2 tent.
But my harvests have paid me back in savings considerably. Growing at home is so cheap, the money you save goes into quality equipment.

This round if I pull 10oz out of my 2x2 space using the usual $50-$60 in electricity. It will have cost me $5.5 per oz to make :cry:

If you buy quarters from friends 8g=$80. 10oz would be $4,000 equivalent at that rate. Here locally you would pay $250-$300zip for stuff like this so $2,500-3,000 i saved.

This one current grow will pay for everything since i started electricity, bulbs,equipment, nutes, pots etc.

So don't skimp especially since it pays for itself. If you skimp,initial harvests will suffer. If you invest the good harvest come sooner and pay you back you faster.
 
For my knowledge, and those who stumble upon this, what is the extra $140 getting you from the iPower setup?

Canfan is the top of the line when it comes to inline fans.

"Can-Fan High Output fans are centrifugal fans that utilize our proven German design, Swiss components, and precision manufacturing with an upgraded motor for improved performance. They have carried AMCA certified numbers longer than most other fans have been around and you can be sure you’re getting every CFM we claim to deliver."


Higher CFMs than any other manufacturer

5 year warranty

They are engineered to provide maximum (cfm of flow) under varying pressures for ventilation demands.

Here is a video demonstrating how when pressure is applied the canfan comes out ahead.


Cfm ratings are nice. But really once attached to a ventilation system, How much cfm of air flow under pressure is the real proof.


Many fans claim cfm ratings yet aren't engineered well enough to work efficiently under pressure.

And trust me once hooked up to your tent/room, hoods, lights, ducts, carbon filter, intake filter etc. That pressure will reduce output substantially if your fan wasn't engineered to provide ample flow under pressure.

Can fan provides pressure charts showing resistance values and how they affect cfm of flow (AMCA certified performance)
20170301 153024

@jipp your 6" HO fan is in this chart .


Don't be fooled by cheap brands.
Businesses make money selling cheap stuff for the masses.

Can fan really is well engineered.
And for that good engineering comes the highest price tag of inlines :cry:

Someone has to pay for all the scientists/engineers salaries working in research and development. So it comes to us in the price tag.

I have 1 can that is going on 6 yrs and spinning like a top. Can't beat Cans Fans.!!!!
 
I have a larger version of these myself. The hurricane has been great so far. I haven't put the filter in yet but I've heard nothing but good things about phresh. I also have a titan control for my fan. Works fawlessly

I have 2 phresh filters that have worked over 2 years. The 2.5 year one is just starting to fail.

I just wanted to show that it wouldn't cost more than 200 dollars if there is a budget. I just did a quick search and hurricane is good stuff in my experience.
 
@rmoltis can you post the link to the air filter you used.

If you get this filter you will need a 6" flange to attach it to your tent port. If your port is 8" you may need an adapter of some sort.


Some farmers use pantyhose over their air intake for filtration of dust, hair etc.

@incogneato took a furnace filter taped to a box.

Then ducted that box to his intake... cheap simple and the high surface area made for low restriction.

The spectre intake looks good and is reuseable just buy the recharge kit for cleaning. It filters amazingly well but adds restriction.

The pantyhose makes minimal airflow restriction. Good for hair and big particles, But is worst at filtering small particles.

The cardboard box furnace filter is cheap to make. Cheap to replace filter. And the large surface area makes for minimal intake restriction.
If your intake has a 8" port you could use an 8" duct and 8" flanges to the box.


You have many options which all have different efficicacy's/variables/replacement & cleaning costs.

Or you could grow with no intake filter like many people do.

If you don't mind dust, hair, and dirt on your flowers. It also prevents pests from entering a free entrance. As well as stopping potential stray outdoor male pollen.


When opting for intake filtration.
Remember that it does add restriction to the system to add cleaning efficiency. But if your heat load isn't large (led lighting) you should be fine.

The canfan is engineered to work well under resistance/pressure :)
 
i think ill make the box filter since i have that kind of filter already for the a/c

cheaper too. heh. i just know i need it, dust gets everywhere here in the desert.. iv given up on trying to get rid of all dust its a lost cause IN THE desert.

I remember @incogneato showing me his box idea. And I was like damn why didn't I think of that ?

I would make it a little fancier than his.
I'd find the port size of my tent intake 6 or 8 inch. Then I'd buy 2 matching flanges that size.

And attach one to the box and one to the tent port allowing for easy airtight ductwork connections with hose clamps.

If your filtering air tight connections is key. You want all the dirty air focused through the filter. Duct taping all the edges is a good idea.

Now that's a sexy intake filter lmao. I intended it to be temporary and eventually make one a little more permanent but I don't have a need right now. Its thicker gauge cardboard and I taped all the edges inside and out for a good seal. I have 8" ports in my tent so I have a short piece of 8" hard duct that I use between the tent and box and also between my bloom room and veg tent. I would definitely recommend the flanges like @rmoltis stated. It would make it much easier to connect. I'm planning on doing the same as I improve my setup over time. Its super cheap and I have the best HEPA filter you can get for about $25-$30 and I have an extra filter. I will say it has awesome airflow and does a kick ass job filtering the air
