Need help finding a fan

[1hitter]

Hi all sorry to have to ask such a noob question but I am unemployed and need to find a fan with at least 250 cfm and need it to be as cheap as possible. I will be hooking it to a diy carbon scrubber, I had bought a duct fan but as soon as I hooked up the carbon scrubber i lost just about all of my air flow

I have been trying to find some old furnace parts to try and make one but what I found would not fit in to my cabinet. Any links to sites with cheap fans would be great I have been trying to find a site that is giving them away but no such luck.

Check out the Stanley blower mod. That might help save some money.

I checked that out and it is a great idea but it won't fit in my cabinet. my cabinet is 1.5' deep 3' wide and 3' tall.

i know you want something cheap, but the Vortex is top of the line. take a look.

Hmm. If that doesn't work it looks like you will probably need to find a budget fan. Check out htggarden as they have an econo line. Just expect otto be even louder than a can fan or vortex

I would really like to get a vortex but I just cant afford one.

Get a TJERNLUND... You will have tpo spend at least 125 to get quality and power(CFM) I got the 6" delivered to a friends house for $136.00(500 CFM).. The 4" is only 100 plus shipping and they are as good a a vortex.. they look the same and mine works beautiful................ Go to goggle type that name(or vortex, that's how i found the company) in or just www.tjernlund.com... You have to go to the distributor site or something.. At first if you don't navagate good you'll have a hard time finding it... The model is the m-6/m-4.. depending on the size, but it's a m-series... It's good stuff trust me................. I'm unemployed also, but I seemed to be able to dish out $600. beans for my box.....

Hi Bagseed, That is one of the fans I am looking at but will have to wait a bit longer to get it.

$100 - HTG. I just picked up a 265cfm squirrel cage fan. It's not the quietest fan, but it works and it's moderately priced. Plus, it already has a flange on it for attaching your ducting and/or scrubber.
