User questions & answers

Question:	Excessive vibration seems to be a frequent complaint. Has anyone succeeded in balancing the blades using weights
Answer:	It’s a small but very powerful fan. It would exhaust fumes if the room isn’t huge and it’s close enough to a window / door.
Question:	is it waterproof? Can it be kept outside
Answer:	The dimensions are 17.3 x 15.4 x 8.9 (L x W x H)
Question:	How many amps does it draw
Answer:	This is not UL rated, but it is ETL safety certified. This does have a 3 pronged plug for industrial use.
Question:	What is the CFM rating on this fan
Answer:	It sure what you mean by double ball bearing? It’s an awesome fan and in my 288 square foot shop it kept it cool all summer just on the low setting.

User questions & answers

Question:	How do I get Extra mounting brackets
Answer:	You may need to contact the manufacturer to see if you can have them send out extra mounting brackets as we are unable to source these parts. You may also be able to get something from your local hardware store that could work.
Question:	can the mounting bracket be zip tied or something to a grow tent pole and work like that
Answer:	No, you cannot safely mount a higher velocity oscillating fan with zip ties. What I did was get a 1x4 board cut to approximately 4' tall. I have a 4'x8' grow tent. I ordered Ancor Marine Grade Electrical Stainless Steel Cushion Clamps from Amazon. I mounted the board on top of the tent poles in the center placing the board flat against the pole junction. I place 2 brackets aroind the tent pole on top of the horizontal pole on the floor to stop any torsion from the oscillation and evenly space the remaining brackets along the side of the verticle pole. The rubber absorbs vibration so it doesn't rattle. Placing it on the center of the tent in lieu of the corner of the tent allows for the fan to get full 90°oscillation.
Question:	Why are there two sets of speeds? I don't get it
Answer:	Its has 3 presets low med and high and 2 sets for which direction the air is moving in, forward/reverse.
Question:	How do you mount this fan? Does it have a stand
Answer:	It is a wall mount fan that has a mounting bracket and instructions

User questions & answers

Question:	how high will it pump
Answer:	This depends on how much flow you can stand to lose...at some point, depending on which of their head charts you believe, you have zero GPH. On the box this is at 12 feet. From this on-line verssion: http://www.hydrofarm.com/downloads/fc/Active%20Aqua%20Water%20Pump%20Height_29271.pdfat 12 ft of head you still get ~150GPH. I have the equivalent of about 5 ft of head with all elbows and I have more flow than I can use. I have a tee off with a valve to divert some flow back to sump and I am still flowing over 600 GPH. It is rated for about 780gph for 5 foot of head (from the graph on the box) But I would still look at another pump to allow standard MPT fittings to screw in to pump rather than hose clamps. Quiet and creates enough heat to maintain at about 78 without a heater (mild summer indoor temps)
Question:	Can this pump be used inline? Meaning, a hose attached to the inlet and a hose attached to the outlet and then only the hoses submerged in water
Answer:	yes
Question:	what size tubing or hose does it take, and is it powerful enough for a waterfall box
Answer:	Mine came with several sizes of hose attachments. It goes from 1/2" to 1". It would have to be a small box and the height. I ran a rain garden with one and the rules I go by is for every hundred GPH you can go up a foot but the higher you go the less flow. Mine is only 2 foot up into an upper pool and I get about a foot wide over flow about 2" deep. I hope this help.
Question:	What is the maximum lift
Answer:	I don't know the maximum, however we had one of these pushing water up 4.5ft and then horizontally 28ft with 6 outlets of water. It did work but for our purposes we did need a larger pump. The only negative about this pump is the thread is not standard sized. PVC threaded items will not work. If you are using hose you should be just fine.

User questions & answers

Question:	Does this decrease the CFMs at all
Answer:	I'll agree with Brandon S... Cfm's are cut drastically with this, although they do work pretty decent for the cost, wouldn't recommend pulling air through one of this with a fan. Suited better if you have multiple inlets you're exhausting through. Get a dust shroom, more $$ but definitely worth it.
Question:	Can i use this on my portable ac vent hose exhaust on the outside of the window
Answer:	That should work. Check the measurement of your exhaust hose. You may need a zip tie to secure it firmly. These bug shield screens do not inhibit the flow of air so it shouldn't put any additional strain on your A/C unit. Hope this helps.

User questions & answers

Question:	Will it fit over the 6 inch duct
Answer:	ya it fits pretty good. the product worked as adcertised
Question:	Will this be able to take the heat from my light exhaust? The air is pretty warm
Answer:	I'm looking for a bug cover for my exhaust from my grow tent to fit on the duct. I'm surely not going to spend 50-100 dollars on that. I guess the hydrofarm is the way to go because I won't have insects or any of that in my tent. Phresh intake filter and Phresh carbon filter for exhaust. I think this shield is fine for the end of the ducting leaving my house so bugs won't crawl or fly in. That mushroom seems almost like a plug in an exhaust system that would definitely back the heat right back into the grow tent or grow room.
Question:	Do Any product like this that block light that would be great
Answer:	It’s more like a filter so it doesn’t really block light
Question:	Some say blocks spider mites, some say it does'nt. Anyone really know? Are these better than nylon stockings(old school
Answer:	It is better than nylon and may or may not keep out mites. I’d be more worried about mites coming in on the soles of your shoes or on your clothes. It’s has a ‘carbon filter’ which makes the air passage holes more fine (smaller) in which it should be better than that of nylon.
