    Default Upgrade Extraction fan

    Hey talkers, I'm looking to upgrade my extraction fan to a rvk. I'm thinking of going with a systemair 100mm rvk.

    Looked on fleabay and they're selling them at £55 without a plug connected. £7 extra to add a plug with it.

    Would anyone be able to recommend a good site to buy from and any thoughts on going with systemair as I've never used one before.

    I'd like to eventually have it automatically controlled, if anyone could help me out with this too? I want to have full control of my temps while I'm away from home, or alseep lol

    Fleabay is fine for most grow gear. I have an 8 inch RVK and it's been great. I've used it with a manual fan controller in the past and now it's hooked up to my Ecotechnics without a problem. My 2p

    Cheers bud, I'll stick to fleabay then lol. Them ecotechnics are like £150, gonna have to save some pennies for that. I'll stick with the varispeed until I can afford that beast🤘

    I think you should go for a bigger fan, probably a 6" if you can afford to, reason being is that you are already talking of future upgrades so will save you buying another in 6 months time, I speak from recent experience

    I'll use it for an intake when I upgrade the tent. Won't be for while though as my space at the moment is tight. I currently have a passive intake, as there's no need for fan.
