easyman im worried,my fans got to go on soon as its stinking a bit but the noisie is rediculous off my 10"vk,its on to it 10" matching brother then I have a silencer the size of my filter on top of that,its quieter but not a lot.

Ive read fan controlers but from people on here thats no good as im from UK and asking on uk420 is a joke,there all scared to post you a link to what you need or they get banned fucking stupif forum,needs shutting down.

I need some suggestions,its about 7ft hi all together.
What would you do?
KMy options are fan controler/variac or a box around the hoe fan filled with sound proofing foam.

Blowing threw the filter is quiter and some thing id be happy to do but I need it like real quite.

Now when looking at these fan controlers theres loads of complicated with voltage watt and amps.

Beens this forums ok,im going to post link to what im thinking and you let me know what you think,so electrical grower would be great

My fans 240v 176watt 3AMP and super loud

ok well i dont know dick about the UK but it your trying to slow a fan down over here in the usa i'll just go to walmart and pick up a universal wall adapter that lets you change the setting to the voltage and you rig that up to your fan and then you pick the setting thats the "quietest", if u go to like walmart or radioshack (i dont know what stores are in the UK) wish i could be of more help to you but thats the only thing i could think of but i am sure you can go with one of those controllers you got wish i could help more dude

Unknown is on the right track, you need a resistor or a dimming switch. It will cut down the amps that the fan receives, this will reduce the amount of air flow that the fan produces as well as the noise. For instance, a pc fan that is 12V 0.32A that receives 0.25A will spin slower but quieter.

Do some research?

I mean, you DID kind of post this in the DIY area, you might wanna post in the Indoor Growing section and you'll get more answers...
You can't post in a very slow and mostly dead area of the forum and expect many responses.

As for fans, I just purchased a $40 Stanly Blowerfan to mod, moves a lot of air and works great!
