man i was thinging of getting an 8" ruk with The SMS COM 4.5amp Mk II fan controller to run at 50% but last thing i want is to make it louder

that's the speed controller I have n she's sound and ive a cheap blue fan n she's ninja quiet, quieter than my mix flow fan I'd on before her...ghb my plants are just after going into the main tent,they've been in starter pots for over 10 weeks they look shite n I'm not posting vids here but if u genuinely are curious I'll pm you a video link.

 

[ghb]

i have been knocked back by a fair few who went on to have a go themselves, realised it wasn't for them and then quit growing.

i'm pretty confident had they listened to me and not decided that they didn't need my help they would be still growing and be a lot better off but you can only help some people so much i suppose, everyone has to find their own way.

i'll let you off then laxx, seeing as you couldn't grow nettles i'll have to ask somebody else who uses one how well they work.

 

[R3l@X]

Tit lol

the main reson i am getting the 8" cos when summer comes my shed is like a green house

 

[Don Gin and Ton]

mixed flow is pretty loud ime. Mind mines size of a push bin so... I'm looking forward to a fresh start. Acoustic box fans the one for me. Fuck knows what ill do with the big td 'silent' fan I've got now haaha..

aye I've a few mates who've done it and not been cut out for it. I call them customers these days haha

 

[ghb]

you got one of these don?

about the only style i haven't tried
i like the acoustic box type but i reckon if you don't use ins ducting and suspend the fan with bungees you don't get the benefit. i am getting rid of my old 8"er soon, she's been sat on the floor ( padded to death of course) with a silencer attached for over two years now and she's just too loud to sleep next door to.

 

[Don Gin and Ton]

Fuck insulated ducting. Itchy bullshit is what that is.

aye suspended is best I reckon anyway. Floor space is too valuable haha

aye my fans waaay too big foe the job atm.

I've just bought this lad..really loud till u plug her in the controller now she's 60% idol till she hits 25c then she steadily climbs....with the sms n that fan i can personally vouch for her I'm only assuming she'll be the same for larger sizes n I'd a CANFAN filter before, did the job...for a yr haha
what's what fan rated at anyways?.

 

[Pompeygrow]

yeh im shopping for fans now canfans only last a year then it says canfans are the rvk new name i just dont wanna fuck this up again needs a good fan also wants it to work well then i put my other room up

 

[ghb]

rvk fans are good pompey, i've used them for years and i can personally say they are good for 2-3 years of continual running.

 

[Pompeygrow]

would u get this http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/SYSTEMAIR-RVK-8-inch-200mm-E2-1008M3-HR-INLINE-EXTRACTOR-FAN-/161480231210?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item2598f8c92a over the canfan then ?

 

[R3l@X]

Well I got a filter hydro recommended n have been very pleased so far n it's got a 3 yr guarantee it's mountain air filter. Pricy but we'll see.

 

[Hydrogrow123]

The fan I have is also a goodun, don has the same. I've mine on a cheap fan speed controller and it works good with it. Fans an s&p TD silent fan, 8"

used a few of those mate, great piece of kit. currently got one on one of those cheap dimmer switches , cooling 1800w running around 75%. it is the sweet spot for performance without rattling and vibrations from the fan, any lower and the engine makes a loud high pitched humming sound. the rvk makes a good rattle running at full speed.

i would suggest getting a better controller or better yet, spend more on the fan, suspend it on bungees and you will only hear the rush of air it creates and little to no disturbance in the next room.

 

[newuserlol]

have fans got really cheap all of a sudden or is that some chinky set ya house alight fleabay jobby lax? a rvk 6'' high power cost like 70-80quid last time i brought one anyway, was from a shop tho prob cheaper online.

agreed tho them rvk's will run for years n years loud tho with no speed controller mind, ive personally not heard much bad about the sd silents either apart from they aint all that silent in the larger versions lol me old man has a few just small one's tho and they are very quiet.
