funny you should post that I have looking at filters and fans today. Phresh filter i think is the best one. looking at A Vortex 4inch fan also.
Is there somewhere on here that shows how to hook them up in a room ?

ive heard Phresh filters is a knock off of phat filters but i dont know for sure just what ive read somewhere.
I am sure if you do a Google search u can find pics of hooking them up?
i am not to sure what u want to know exactly? but you have ur filter then you hook up ur ducting to the flange on top of the filter then run the ducting to where you want to vent out, then have ur exhaust fan hook up to the ducting the out the room. some key tips. the shorter the ducting the better, exhaust fans are better at sucking then pushing air, so having it close to the exit the goes out of the room is a good idea. heat rises so hang ur filter up high in the high temp months, and down low in the colder months to bring down the hot air if needed. make sure ur exhaust fan does exceed the max CFM of the air filter, better to have a bigger CFM filter then the exhaust fan.

I think you are right about Phresh being a knock off. Found some more info
Phat Filter
I did find some good pictures of filter set ups too. I like to see different ideas before I decide on what I will do LOL

good to hear since i just bought one and Vortex Inline Powerfan for it
Also, don't send the hot air from a HID light through the carbon filter and the filter will last longer.

also, if you can, keep your runs as short as possible and use semi-flexible aluminum smooth duct wherever possible instead of the flexible accordion stuff.
If I remember correctly, the ribbed accordion stuff produces 50% more static pressure than the smooth stuff.
Switching to semi-rigid duct dropped my temp by 2 degrees.

Is that like single-wall vent pipe?

Probably made things a little quieter as well.

Is there a way to quite the exhaust? I think i read something about putting a shirt over the opening
It's this stuff:
Shop IMPERIAL 4" x 8' Semi-Rigid Aluminum Duct at Lowes.com
It did, but what really quiets things down is when I connect the ducts that vent straight up through the ceiling into the attic.
It's already a quiet setup, but when I vent into the attic, I can't even tell if the fans are running over the other ambient noise from the circulation fans, LED light fans, etc., and the ambient noise level is very low.

good to know, thanks for the info
yup meant to say not.lol.. thanks
wow never knew that, thanks. i like that hose also because they dont blow out like the other ones if their a bend, i use to have to replace them all the time. the one i got at HD or lowes is insulated and works great. never buy ur vent hoses at the hydro store its a big rip off, always at a hardware store.
when i used the insulated hose from HD or lowes it made things allot more quite. not to sure why you would put a shirt over the opening? that would just block the air flow and make ur setup less effective.

That semi-rigid ducting is great. Beats the accordian stuff hands down. Careful when you bend it though.

Pretty little pics, Irish.
Soon you'll have to start holding up gallon milk jugs next to those plants, lol.
You might need that Asplundh wood chipper come harvest time, after all.

wow Irish, those are some shaggy monsters!
looks like the CRF's produce a lot of foliage around the buds, but not in a bad sense as it appears there's some very nice fat colas lurking under there.
I don't think you've mentioned what you do with your trim?
I've tried a few different things, and I like to make a run of bubble hash, then after the trichs are harvested, dumping the "expended" wet trim into a pot and making cannabutter.
The bubble hash is good, and the cannabutter process extracts the fat-soluble THC that's leftover in the plant material.
My cookies are very popular with my patients, so there appears to be quite a bit of THC left in the slurry after the bubble hash process.
as they say in the pig business, I use everything but the squeal, lol

I'd love to use it to cool my HID hood, but I don't think it's flexible enough to withstand repeated flexing from raising and lowering the hood. I know it would make a huge difference in efficiency.
If I had a setup with a static hood, or with a short range of travel, I'd be all over that stuff.
