Phresh Hyper Fan - Quiet, High-Pressure EC Inline Extraction Fan
Best for: Growers who want a genuinely quiet, energy-efficient inline extraction fan that holds its airflow even with a carbon filter attached.
Our thoughts
Switching from a standard AC fan to an EC digital fan like this is one of those upgrades that pays for itself quietly in the background - lower running costs, less noise, and static pressure that doesn't collapse the moment you clip a carbon filter onto it. Straightforward, dependable extraction kit.
The Phresh Hyper Fan V2 is an inline extraction fan built around a 9-pole EC (electronically commutated) motor, which delivers higher static pressure and better efficiency than a traditional AC motor fan of the same size. That extra static pressure matters in practice because it means airflow holds up better once you add a carbon filter and ducting, rather than dropping off sharply the way cheaper AC fans can.
The range spans from 5-inch up to 12-inch duct sizes, with airflow scaling from around 350 m³/hr on the smallest 5-inch model up to roughly 3100 m³/hr on the 12-inch version. It's supplied with a tethered speed controller for 0-100% manual airflow adjustment straight out of the box, runs on Abec 7 self-lubricating bearings for durability, and includes soft-start to protect the motor on power-up. V2 units are also compatible with G.A.S's EC Fan Speed Controller, EC1 and EC5 controllers if you want temperature-linked automatic control later.
How it compares
EC-motor inline fans have become the standard upgrade path from older AC fans in the grow room extraction market.
- Standard AC-motor inline fans are generally cheaper upfront but less efficient per watt of airflow, and lose static pressure more noticeably once a carbon filter is fitted.
- Vortex's range of inline fans covers similar duct sizes and is a well-known alternative, with broadly comparable airflow figures at each size, so the choice often comes down to controller compatibility and noise preference.
- The Phresh Hyper Fan's 9-pole EC motor and Abec 7 bearings are aimed at both quieter running and long-term durability rather than just raw airflow numbers.
You're paying a premium over a basic AC fan for genuinely better efficiency, quieter operation and stronger static pressure under load - not just a badge.
Usage guidance
Match the fan size to your tent or room volume and ducting diameter before ordering.
Sizing
Choose the duct size that matches your existing ducting and carbon filter, then check the corresponding airflow figure against your room volume - as a rule of thumb, aim for enough airflow to exchange the room's air every few minutes.
Speed control
Use the supplied tethered controller to dial in airflow manually; if you want the fan to respond automatically to room temperature, add a separate EC-compatible controller such as the EC1 or EC5.
Installation note
V2 Hyper Fans are not compatible with the older G.A.S Hyper Fan Multi-Phase Controller - check controller compatibility before connecting to existing kit.

Who this is for
- Growers upgrading from a noisy or inefficient AC fan to a quieter, more efficient EC unit
- Anyone running a carbon filter who's noticed airflow dropping off with a standard fan
- Growers who want automatic temperature-linked speed control via a compatible EC controller
- Tent and grow room setups across a wide range of sizes, from small propagation spaces up to large multi-light rooms
Best suited to growers who want to future-proof their extraction with a fan that holds airflow under real-world load.
Our take
This is a genuine step up from a basic AC extraction fan, and the improved static pressure is the bit that actually matters once you've got ducting, a carbon filter and bends in the mix. The energy savings and quieter running are a bonus on top of that.
Performs consistently when you need it to. One we sell a lot of for growers ready to move up from their first entry-level fan.
