These Fans Are The Real Deal !!

specialkayme said:

I have a similar setup, but a little smaller. I was looking to utilize low sound, move about 100 cfm but be able to attach a carbon scrubber. Any idea how well these are able to push through a scrubber and still hit their cfm mark? Should I look at the TD-100 or the TD-125? Anyone with experience know?

i have had better luck pulling thru a scrubber than pushing.. these fans aregreat good up to about a 4'x4' room if the light is exhaustedoh sorry the 4 inch one isthe fan i am talking aboot...

yeah ive read that before but it doesnt give me an idea of 1.7 sones, so its about a very quiet room louder than two people talking from a meter distance, ohhh its so clear to me now.

Received the fans today. Now I gotta get a wire from homedepot to attach to it. I guess with cheap costs you cant get everything . Oh well thats life. I will keep everyone updated as far as "stealth" is concerned. I need to get a speed controller for these things.

I just ordered a td-100x as well, when it is shipped I will also post my thoughts on the fan.

lucky for me I found this thread just before making the plunge to buy a panasonic whisperline.

Could someone please tell me how to start a new thread? I can't seem to find it anywhere. I have some pics to put up and I want to do it in my own thread...please help.

OK so I tuly believe that I made the right choice. The fans are absolutely fan-tastic (no pun intended). I put both fans in a bedroom, closed the door & put my television on & sat back to see if I could hear any vibrations or noise fromthe bedroom.Iheard absolutely nothing. However this was without ducting. Now as far as I know Im running them at 538 cfm but Im really unsure because I do not have the fan control as yet. The fans I have a re rated at 538 & 476 cfm. High recommendation.

Go to the forum you wish to post the thread in such as indoor growing, hydroponics, harvesting, etc......Then go to thread tools I believe it is & start your thread.

Thanks bro....I feel like an idiot. I haven't smoked all day and I'm trippin

I wonder if he's okay. Maybe someone should check on him. I'm worried as he has not posted his thread yet. Kidding of course.

How would you place one of this in the a closet do they generate any heat?

Reread the rest of the thread. Instillation guide is posted in one of the previous pages. As far as heat build up, I am not sure, but it extracts way more heat than it could possibly ever produce.

I ordered a TD-125 and got it today. Installed it and everything. I ordered a rheostat for it too, to control the CFM a bit and hopefully control the sound as well. However, I must say I'm a little disapointed. It can move some serious air, that's for sure, and if I had a grow room it would be perfect. I only have a grow cabinet though, and I was hoping to keep it stealth. This fan, while it moves some massive air, has a humming/buzzing sound to it. When I dial down the rheostat to it, the CFM goes down, but the buzzing/humming gets louder. Significantly louder. Which is the opposite reason why I put it on in the first place. But without it, it's moving so much air it's making a loud whooshing sound. Going to have to try and figure out how to quiet this thing down more than this.

Attach insulated ducting that will help out with thebuzzing humming sound. Trust me. You may even want to add a duct muffler.

dont mount it directly to the wood. put some type of rubber. something to absorb the vibration.

the whoosing from the air can be silenced with insulated ducting...

simple problems, simple fixes


i still root for the sunleaves windtunnel tho!

I put weatherstripping inbetween the fan and the wood. It isn't in direct contact. And most of the sound that I'm hearing isn't the wooshing air, actually. It's the buzzing/humming from the fan. It gets louder as I dial it down, which I thought it would get quieter. I just can't figure out why it is doing this.

how bout not dialing it down?

That's what my project for the next half an hour will be. I'll let you know how it goes. I was reluctant to do this, because I installed the fan in a somewhat tight fit for my hands. At least tight enough that I can't get the cover off and rewire it without taking the fan appart. But whatever, I'll toy with it and let you know how ti goes.

Ok, so I toyed with it a little bit, and I think I may have figured out the problem. At first I switched the common wire with the other one. I personally don't know the difference, so when I wired it up I just took one and put it through the rheostat, and the other one directly to the fan. I switched them figuring that maybe I did it wrong. This did nothing. Still a humming, buzzing sound. So I took the rheostat off. That seems to work, no buzzing humming sound. Now, without it being restricted, I get the whooshing sound. Haha, but a much easier solved problem I figure. I'll go out and get some insulated ducting later today. Hopefully this will get rid of the sound. I hope it doesn't come down to a duct muffler. I don't think I'll have room inside the cab for a duct muffler, carbon scrubber, fan, light, and plants. I am reluctant to put things on the outside of the cab, for stealth reasons, but I'll do what I have to do. Come to think of it I think I'm going to have to put the insulated ducting on the outside of the back of the cab. But oh well, I think it'll be ok. I'll let you guys know how it goes. Thanks for the help.

most definitely...


what about insulated ducted?

are you using neoprene-lined clamps to help the other things in check with the vibration?

fuck weatherstripping....go get the smallest thing of dynamat...or any sound dampening material. insulate everything.

you can even wrap your damn fan!!!!

overseas they put shit in boxes, i've seen them custom made and sold as i've never seen it around here in the states....
