Hydor HIT Metal Inline Fans

Hydor HIT Metal Inline Fans

Hydor HIT Metal Inline Fans – a QUALITY brand for residential, commercial  and industrial exhaust or supply air application. Direct connections to standard diameter circular ducting and comes standard with manufacturing.

Please make sure that these fans are wired up CORRECTLY ! Although the fan may function for a period of time when wired INCORRECTLY, it will soon burn out the motor’s windings, rendering it obsolete. This is not covered under warranty and will not be refunded or swapped out.

AND ANOTHER THING… When adding an inline duct fan to a fan speed controller, rheostat or dimmer switch, the fan must ALWAYS be set to its HIGHEST speed setting!

Compared with sleeve bearing, ball bearing has the following advantages:  Long life, low maintenance, low temperature compatibility.

How to work out the size and type of fan required:
In order to provide adequate ventilation for a given application, it is essential the
correct size, type and number of units are selected. Selection of the correct fan depends on two
principal factors: the performance and application.
Step 1
step1
Determine which mounting arrangements meet your requirements
Step 2
step2
Calculate the VOLUME of the room in cubic meters (m3) by multiplying the length x width x height.
Step 3
How many air changes (AC/H) are required. Work out how fast one complete ‘air change’ needs to be carried out under warm conditions (i.e. the maximum you will ever need the fan to operate).If excess heat in a certain growing environment is a common problem, or there is a large volume of plants growing in a very restricted space you will need more air flow per hour than for a larger growing area which doesn’t suffer from too much heat build up with smaller plants. Growers commonly underestimate just how much ‘air exchange’ is required to remove excess heat and humidity, bring in fresh CO2 and generally create fresh air movement over all of the plant surfaces. As a comparison to greenhouse crops growing in full sunlight – one air change per minute or 60 air changes an hour are often aimed for with large, mature crops growing under warm, humid conditions. However, in a grow room situation, one complete air change obtained in 4-5 minutes is acceptable. Obviously this needs to be more frequent (one complete air change in 2-3 minutes) where lighting is creating a lot of extra heat to be removed or when a CO2 generator is being used.
Step 4
Use the following formula: Volume (m3) x AC/H = Airflow (m3/h)

Step 5
Select a fan that does the airflow you require.

Inline Tap

Inline Tap
5mm choke
5mm In-Line Tap

 

Inline Taps are useful when wanting to turn off water supply or to flush system.

5mm Inline Tap useful when less than 4 Units to turn off water supply. Also known as a Choke.

Please note: product may vary from picture.

 

9mm In-Line Taps for use with Autopot Aquavalve 5‘s 9mm piping are now available.

 

Ball valve
In-line Tap – 12mm/15mm

 

Inline taps or ball valves are a very useful accessory for the Autopot when having 4 for more Autopot units. They can be added to the end of a layout when you are using pipe  You can open the tap and allow the lines to be flushed, removing a sediment or lime scale build-up that might occur over time. This will only take a couple of minutes and only needs to be done every couple of weeks.

 

You will also need to purchase Inline Tap Adaptors (12mm or 15mm) for the 12mm/15mm Tap and Inline Tap Adaptors (20mm) for the 20mm Tap.

Chokes / valves / inline taps are used to restrict the volume of water passing through a pipe. They are ideal for things like NFT systems, where the flow-rate might need to be adjusted to fit specifications (1 – 2 liters per minute through a channel). They also solve the problem of plants that require differing amount of water at different times of the year.

It is important to note that these are chokes and may not necessarily shut off completely.

Black Autopot Inline Water Filter 12mm

Black Autopot Inline Water Filter 12mm

The Black Autopot Inline Water Filter 12mm will filter out small bits of debris that are present in a water tank or nutrient reservoir. This will help prevent piping and Aquavalve blockages from happening. This is very handy when using water sources that may contain particulates, for example rainwater. in your feeding or watering systems. Rainwater harvested from rooftops often has grit, leaves, twigs and other bio-matter in it and these will eventually get stuck inside small diameter piping or Aquavalves, leading to improper functioning of the system.

Contrary to clear plastic inline water filters this black plastic filter will block out all sunlight from penetrating into the water / nutrient solution. Any clear piping or fitting used in the supply lines of water and especially nutrient solutions will cause algae growth to form inside these clear areas, which may spread to other parts of the system.

The filter has barbed connections on each side, with the shaft outer diameter being about 12.5cm. TIP: If you are connecting piping to the filter, stick the end of the piping into a bit of boiled water to soften up the pipe. This will allow for much easier fitment.

The Autopot inline filter has mesh size small enough to catch particles that may cause problems in an Autopot system, but will still let through very small particles, bordering on silt / sludge. We advise consulting an irrigation supply store with regards to getting rid of extremely small or fine types of particulates.

Filter mesh size of the Autopot Inline Water Filter can be seen in the picture below:
