You can get programmable ac infinity inline fans for the same price. 28 watts vs 80 watts too on the 4”for the same cfm in a slimmer profile and u can easily disassemble them to clean.

You understand watts = power, right? :) And 2 year's warranty is not the same as a 10 year warranty? Just checking :)

You’ll save enough in electricity every 2 years to buy a new one if it actually fails:p

When you're cooling 3200W of HID HPS lamps and 1110W of LED boards power and reliability are king. I started growing 12 years ago and can't imagine what I would need to program my fan for. I use timers when needed. Power and reliability are the most important things to consider when purchasing a fan. Manufacturer's warranty their products for their expected lifespan. 2 years wreaks of poor quality and workmanship. And is the reason you'll never find one in a professional grow room :)

Most “professional grow rooms” are sealed and don’t use inline fans

I never said I was a professional. I'm just a cat that likes to grow good dope and I believe in buying quality equipment. Don't you? I recently installed a new 8 light controller which has been very nice. With the 6 gauge wire, breaker, and controller it was about $250 and half a day's work. I try to make one solid upgrade each flower cycle. It's a process. I also bought a nice work cart, a dust vac, and some very convenient 5 gallon bucket dolly's. One step at a time, right? Rome wasn't built over night sir. The next upgrade is a big one for me which is in preparation for the natural gas co2 generator. My neighbor is an electrician and offered to help me install a mini split with heat pump. The portable AC goes away permanently, and the ground work has been laid for the natural gas co2 generator upgrade. One step at a time. As soon as I get my flux capacitor in this baby really goes into overdrive :)

Which equipment are you recommending?

Edit: I read back and saw you like the AC infinity fans. Look, they're not junk. They have great reviews because a lot of people like them and that's because they've had good experiences. I have no ax to grind with anyone that buys one. I just prefer a more reliable piece of equipment with a robust warranty. The reason vortex can offer a 10 year warranty is due to the way the fan is engineered. It's not just a label on the box. The electric savings you point out is negligible. I'm running 3200w of HID lighting and 1110w of LED lighting in my flower room. I'm not going to quibble over a few watts of electricity consumption. That's my story and I'm sticking to it :)

Imagine being disabled and needing to grow your own medicine ... when $250 is about your entire months worth of income.

I ran hps for years but switched to all led a year ago. I’ll never go back... save on electric just running the led and use way less ac in the hot months. The ability to program the fans are huge for me. I run 5x5’s and I can pretty much ensure temps are spot on where I need them with the ac infinity. Mine seem solid as hell and I love that you can break them apart to clean em.

These pics are from a grow of a good friend of mine. He's not on RIU, but I sent him the code to buy the SUNRAISE qb2000 back when @Marq1340 first posted the discount code in November 2020. He's coming down the home stretch in a 3x3 tent. This is the first verifiable finish I've seen under the qb2000. It's still got a couple weeks. I'll post final numbers when it's done.

I happen to have that exact fan. It's a decent fan, but I don't believe it moves anywhere near 289 cfm.

Yeah I thought same thing when I powered it but compared to the $20 ones from Amazon it's a deal. I got 2 of the Lowe's ones and two of the Geniuses ones in all 4 corners facing up towards my exhaust fan in middle of ceiling.
