Old Reviews Inline fan question

[nizmoKush]

Okay so I need to buy a inline fan since my can fan will not suffice my phresh filter and I was thinking the ventech if4 190cfm for a small tent 30x18x36 I believe is the dimension of the tent. Mind that I'm on limited budget since I might be getting a new light and seeds as well and some nutes

Anyone of those looks fine. Your tent is small you might want to use speed controller to slow it down a little. I use this size fan in a 10x5x6.5 ft tent and need the controller for it blows too much air.

Yeah I already have a speed controller and alright now to choose from those 3 lol.. thanks for your input I appreciate it.

I had a not-so-great experience with my Ventech fan, after about 1 year it started getting really really loud, in fact it blew my stealth twice... this was a very serious infraction lol. Luckily, well, nevermind lol. But anyway it got mad loud, like the bearing inside blew out.

This I thought weird since it appeared very sturdy and well made, and plus I had one of the authorised fan speed controllers, and it was almost always about 50% or 60% except on the hottest summer days I'd max it out. But then sometimes it was quiet.. Finally it got so bad, it sounded like a train crashing nonstop lmao. So I emailed VenTech, and yeah of course my warranty was up just a few months prior lol. Just a 1 year warranty??? Geez.

So I just swapped it out for a slightly more expensive Hydrofarm one, one of those big green ones, and it's whisper quiet and has a 5 year warranty woohoo! Honestly I expect any gear like this to last just a couple years, maybe 3. But I was disappointed in the Ventech not barely lasting 1.

Now that's just my one experience, and not saying they're all gonna go like mine. But I wish I'd gotten the Hydrofarm from the jump and wouldn't have to replace one. I use a 6" system which is overkill for my tent but that's why I run it around 50% and it's quiet that way normally. : )
