I just built a shed in an upstairs room to put all the cat pans in, keep the dogs out, keep the dust in-house down, easier to sanitize and keep clean, etc.
I put one of these dryer vent caps through the outside wall of the house and into the back wall of the shed. It has a standard four inch pipe.
Then I went looking for a four inch booster fan. I read reviews that the four inch didn't vent plant houses that well.. if it didn't vent well simply for heat, I thought it wasn't going to clear the air of dust when I am cleaning pans and such.
Then I bought an 8 inch duct booster fan
And also a 8 x 4 reducer
I put it together tonight. It seems to work fine. There is naturally some backflow.
My questions...
1) Will this strain kill the fan quicker?
2) Is it venting the dust as well as if I ignored others reviews on the fans and had bought a 4 or 6 (with 6x4 reducer)? Or is it kicking too much dust (stirring) back into the shed?
3) Would you (opinions please) go with a smaller fan? (while I can still exchange)
