We have Vortex Powerfans (Model VTX800). We are looking for the speed controller. Is this the right one?

We have a Utilitec Pro outdoor fan on a stand which sounds like a plane taking off, even on low speed. We use this speed reducer to reduce the noise and lower the output of the fan so it doesn't blow everything off the patio table. Works great!

I ordered and they sent different one if that the one you get it should work, if not send back, seems to be crapshoot with brushless

The answer is, I don't know. This control performs differently with different tools, appliances, etc. It must depend on the type of inner electrical control of each tool, appliance, etc. I bought one to control the speed of a fan but it did not perform, it was either on or off even in the variable mode. I would go to the local electrical parts store and ask some questions before ordering.

No, I actually came across doing this and a these "speed controller" control current where as a variac (which controls voltage) is what you need to control heat. I wound up using my router speed controller for a shop fan. And got a variac for my heater.

Forgot to mention, the case fan is quite loud so I would either replace it with a quiet one or get a simple fan speed controller. This is what i got. http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B000292DO0

Just a wild guess that this speed controller is incompatible with your fan.

Yes. I ordered mine for a whole house fan. It is wired in before the 2 speed fan switch. Works great. Gary.

Not significantly. If you are looking for a quiet solution and are somewhat electrically savvy, try wiring two fans in series and ditch the speed controller. I found this configuration was much quieter (practically silent!) than using the fans on the low setting of the speed controller, and still moved a surprising amount of air. The speed controller is not a very "elegant" design, and causes the fans to emit a buzzing or humming noise at low speed.

I'm using a Hydrofarm Fan Speed Controller. About $20. Works fine. Reducing power a bit lowers the noise considerably.

I don't use a speed controller for my setup, but I can tell you that this broke down on me in less than 2 months. If there's a way to check without buying anything new, just tell me and I'll respond back.

The Titans Control Mercury 2 - Fan Speed Controller works great at any speed you put it at. The SE Electronic Stepless Speed Controller didn't work at all (either full on or off)

it will depend on the pump, the d5 i have in my build only has a tachometer on the 3-pin so while it will show the pump speed in rpms like any fan, my particular model will not work for control. definitely research the exact brand of pump your are looking at.

The three pins are COMM (Ground) +12V and the 3rd one is a tachometer signal which can be used to determine the current fan speed ! In short, just don't connect the 3rd pin and you're good to go ! PS. on the 4 PIN Molex connectors the 4th pin is a PWM input to control the fan speed.

No problem. Just cut the hot/power side and install the speed controler. I did the same on mine. I use mine as an extractor over my stove. Works great !

The Duct Fan Speed Controller Adjuster by Active Air will work with this fan. Also, The Speedster - Variable Fan Speed Control from Sunlight Supply will as well.

No, But it is common to purchase a speed controller for a fan such as this.

Is the fan the same fan you purchased with the original controller?? If so you shouldn't have to re-progam the control. When we got our replacement control we put in new batteries and it worked right away. If its a different fan then the original you should probably contact the manufactuer of the fan for help. I don't remember putting in any code???

Best to visit http://www.woodstockint.com/SHOP-FOX-1-HP-800-CFM-Dust-Collector/W1727 and see the unit. There is a modified vortex built in. Since this has a 4" input port, DD(2") is too small and SDD(6") is too large.
