    Default Answered: Intake airflow

    Hi top of the morning to u all.. I have a question ..
    My intake seems a bit strong.. As the tent is not sucking in.. I have to settings.. I have it on the lowest one. If I turn it off (air intake) will the extraction pull enough, air in from the hose I got for the intake? Which is leading to outside?

    IDK, but if you have your out take on the no 2 setting and the intake on the first setting, it should suck in your tent. It does on Mind. JMO"

    Extraction should pull in enough fresh air on its own, you can maybe turn down extractor fan (if you have facilities) to stop tent sucking in so much. I had to do the same and now my intake is 80% passive, intake fan only comes on when temps got above 27.5°C

    Your out take should be pulling at A setting higher than your intake. Get you an adjustable fan for your out take that should help. jmo

    I don't know what to tell you. I just put my intake on setting one, and my out take on setting 3. But if you don't have any setting, I don't see how you can tell how much your fan is blowing at all. My fans blow low, meadum, High.

    It says it on the extraction fan.. I would take a pic to show you.. But don't know how as there is no option.

    What speed / size ur intake?
    U dont need a big one

    My intake is actually portable ac ducting into the tent and its crazy strong.... My exhaust is 530cfm on a 120 tent works perfect.

    Have you tried to turn the two fans around. Put your intake on your out take and out take on your intake. JUST A Thought.
