In your situation they may last forever. I get a couple years out of them easy and that's abusing the shit out of them 12+ hours a day 365.Thanks for the reply! Much appreciated. How long did they last you? I’ll be running the ac all summer then switching to air exchange during colder months. It was 65 degrees out today and my air exchange was barely keeping the room at 80
Word, thanks again for the quick reply. Now just to find where to buy one...Besy Buy is sold out of 18k and Amazon is apparently notorious for sending units that have been trashed in transitIn your situation they may last forever.

Why would I spend nearly $3k for a 7x9 room? It’s a bit much don’t ya think?If you can afford it for portable A/C but want it to last and be competitive towards a mini split or traditional a/c. Get a kwikool (they even make geothermal versions, heat/ac versions, overhead hung like a quest dehumidifier version)
They are pretty badass and def the commercial of portable a/c’s ( one of my buddy’s showed me his and then I got myself a 2.5 ton, on my 2nd round with no errors or flaws , it def can cool my room no problem )

Dude, I’m just gonna block you. You’ve been so salty and passive aggressive since I suggested you do some homework on silica.Matters on your objectives or hobby goals lol. Kinda like size of rims on their car or some people are all about not messing around with junk gear or failures easy lol , I would much rather invest in being preventive than waste my time and produce fluff or ruin my crop because I have some down time. ( a oversize a/c is always better than the opposite cause the result of a undersized = and you’ll have it run 24/7 and worse results or possible failures )
+ i just know window a/c or crappy portables = c02 reducer + smell giver ( I made a lung room for my a/c so all intake/exhaust is in my “ lung room” so I never lose my c02/put smell outdoors )
Take my advice all you want ( I spent my time to help ya, if you don’t intake or agree. Everyone has their own views points )
Do you have experience with the mitsubishi VRF systems?I disagree. I've installed over 300 of them. They are the best overall.
nowadays minisplit are mainly inverter technologyAny cheap diy ideas on controlling a split system with a basic environmental controller? Maybe something along the lines of those Dayton fan controllers used for greenhouses??
Thanks. What do you mean by this??just put your co2 controller if you have one
What is the square footage you are trying to maintain?John, Ty so much for restarting this thread and your contributions towards the community.
Quick questions for you sir:
Desert environment, 120 degree summers, on the top floor of a newer house (2x6 good insulation) with central air for rest of house set at 77 during this time, and with exterior walls on two sides. Will a 24k BTU minisplit handle 4 1kw lights + the heat of the summer?
Also what is the big difference between say a Shinco minisplit and a Klimaire minisplit?
Thanks a ton in advance!
Sorry for the delay. New here and simply forgot about the site for a bit. Rule of thumb is to always upsize by 1/2 ton. I’ve found over the years by doing this, you put less stress on the system and have shorter cycles. That being said, you don’t want to go so big that it’s cutting on and off again in like 10min cycles. Short cycling is bad, shorter cycles are good and more efficient.What is the square footage you are trying to maintain?
I’d like to learn more about sealed rooms in humid environments. Is there no need for exhaust so long as you have sufficient air conditioning and dehumidification? I’m used to more arid climates but have recently moved and it’s hot and humid here. Exhaust seems like it would over strain the system but I’m also concerned about stale air. Would introducing an air scrubber be beneficial or over kill?Well it appears that my thread disappeared from the forum during the server change. So here goes a new one. Ask away about your grow room a/c questions.
