Ventilation Question?

Im just wondering will a booster fan like this work with a carbon filter? http://www.amazon.com/LEDwholesaler...TF8&qid=1374423184&sr=8-1&keywords=inline+fan

Depends on the carbon filter they are rated for specific cfm so you want to match the fan and the filter. If I was in the market I would consider a higher cfm fan the one you have the link posted for would be a good intake/exhaust for a tent or small space like closet.

No. Those type fans don't generate enough pressure differential to overcome any kind of resistance at all. They have no business being used for any purpose in a grow room.

I agree with above....booster fans arn't even as strong as a larger computer fan. I tried it for an intake and to be honest a 5" desk fan from CVS blew it away, no pun intended. Look at inline fans...

No that will not work, you need an inline fan or centrifugal fan. A booster fan isn't a stand alone fan, it's job is to boost the air flow of a larger fan down a length of ducting.

I thought so. Ill just buy an inline fan. Thanks guys

yes and no

yes it can work ....no it is the wrong choice

i know what u are doing i did the same thing ..........just buy the 6 inch active air model it is 400 cfms u can use a speed controller with them and it does the job well ........scrubber size is 6x16 inchs .....................u need to make sure the cfm on the scrubber matchs the highest output of the fan

buy the flexable insulted ducting (aviod heating the air ) do not get the rigded stuff to much of a pain to work with since the design could need tweaking ..........u need pair of wire cutters and a sharp blade
