I have an Apollo 400 cfm inline fan and I noticed it making noises last night. Well I wear looking inside and noticed tons of cat hair because I haven't got a carbon scrubber on the other end of my hood yet. Anyway I thought maybe the hair had got the bearing all messed up but it doesn't look like there a a enough in there to effect it, and it seems like it's an issue of the fan propeller touching the outside of the fan casing. When I was running it and turning it over to observe it seemed some positions were worse than others, so for example of the big box thing the cord goes into is on top it's okay, but if I turn it upside down then it has problem, and especially WHILE it's turning. It's almost like the axle got bent and brought the fan propeller closer to one side of the fan. So I flipped it over the opposite way it bad been sitting (so the electric box was on top) and it sounds good.
Has anyone ever had this happen? I will be pretty angry if it died already, it's less than three months old! I wonder if I should try to get a replacement but then what am I going to vent my grow with the in the meantime?
