DWC to Perpetual

Home depot. And no it wasnt easy to find. They only had 4 screws at one spot. So i went to another store and they had no nylon section. Other place had a few draws of varying sizes
 
But thats like the same thing. Maybe varying decibels but im sure its not that much of a difference. And its cheaper.
 
Okay thats all cute, can I use this as the only fan to pull air through my carbon filter? Basically can I use it in place as my old centrifugal fan.
:spew:


If I can't use the carbon filter because of whatever reason, what can I use as a filter on the end of the intake to prevent particles from entering THE VORTEX~!
 
So why not? Just buy the filter accordingly.

That one you linked is not centrifugal though. The impeller is the exact same as the S&P one. Which is a mixed-flow inline fan. Its impossible to make a quiet centrifugal fan.

They work good under high static pressure if thats what you're asking.:bigjoint:
Click to expand...

High static pressure is an HVAC term. =P I will take that as a "Yes Vumar it is safe to attach your Vortex to a correctly matched phat/fresh carbon filter." My fan is super quiet... More high pitched than the older centrifugal fan that had a low hum to it. I paid $180 for the thing but I do admit I love it. I could have got a shitty centrifugal fan and a filter for $200 I am sure but something in my gut said no to the shitty setup.
 
Found a place to buy a box of 100 bolts and nuts nylon. I coulr make 50 screens with that lol. All for like $18 shipped. I paid like .78 per bolt and .39 per nut for the four sample screens i made
 
Hey man can you come up with a list of EACH part per screen setup PLEASE. Maybe include the material type, include washers/bolts, I just love the idea and Im gunna do it.

I know I need

1" PVC pipe + Tees
but I am not sure of the nuts/bolts/washers you have used. its unlike anything I have seen in construction before =P Can you provide the link that you found to buy those 100 box bolts/nuts please. I just want to order parts and plug and play pretty much.
 
Its cpvc actually and I think its 3/4" or 1/2" whatever the smallest size they sell at HD. 1" pvc woulda cost alot and woulda been bulky.

And I already posted the parts list lol

Parts list:

(4) 15" pieces for the cola tie-off verticals
(2) 23" pieces for the cola tie-off horizontals
(4) 16" pieces for the outriggers
( 8 ) 2-3/16" pieces for the small square
( 8 ) 10-1/2" pieces for the grid. I did mine slightly under 24" total square so they can fit in my 4x4 tent. (
(2) 1/4"x2" nylon screws (.14 per shipped = $0.28)
(4) 1/4" neoprene washers. Think they are 1/2" OD ($0.86)
(2) 1/4" nylon nuts (.12 per shipped separate from screws, more savings if order them together = $0.24)
(12) 90 deg elbows ($2.04 )
(12) tees ($2.04)

22'-8" pipe ($8.12)

$13.58 per screen setup. The manufacturer for these nylon stuff is Micro Plastics International out of the UK. The nylon bolts are model number "0325020200" the nuts are "0425020HNS"

I guess on Usplastics.com the bolts are on sale $5.22 per 100. And the nuts, go figure, cannot be added so not sure if its outta stock or what. But they are $2.82 per 100. $9.42 to ship it.

6ml/gal Bud A and Bud B to get about 1.2EC

Digging the H16. Bud A smells like a hydro store and is like purple/brown colored. Bud B is clear.

My tap water is like 10.0 PH and after nutes my PH was 5.9/6.0 Nice +1 for H16 Took only 4 drops of PH down to get to 5.8.

Will see how stable it is over time, but good stuff so far.
 
Why cpvc?? The only advantage is heat there and I doubt your screen would get hotter than 100 degrees Fahrenheit MAX. I dont understand.
