Air movers

I have a mixture of different fans.I have 4 Gale force,2 Air Boss fans that are bigger than the traditional carpet dryers,10 huricane fans,and 10 Stanley fans.I am looking at buying some Ace fans also as every water damage job is different.

Hi, just reading a few of your posts , I do not do water damage or
restoration work but have been cleaning carpet and upholstery for 23
years. I have a combination but drieaz saharas and Sahara pros do work
well for me. I also have opened my eyes to trying the small " Air Kings "
from Hydroforce. This is a small adjustable snout fan that cools the
worker in the summer and can be set to get the right angle to dry steps. I
noticed Menards has a Stanley brand for 34.95 for 1/10th the price of
the Sahara Pro it does have its place. And on jobs where a 1 HP motor is
overkill the small ons like the stanley are nice to have to dry a bedroom
or small area.

I agree...But woudl you also agree to have some low amperage air movers on board for the older losses or maybe the larger losses where you need 300 airmovers and dont have enough power?

I agree...The only issue I see with the Gale Force is that you need the stand and thats an extra $100...USD.... And them im not sure if its still CSA/UL approved... Do you know? Ive always wondered...... And for most water losses the regular air movers works great...I agree

TGIF......I think that the Gale Force is a better air mover than the Ace....The ace has lower CFM and does not push as much air as the Gale Force...Do you have any of either of them?

Mr Lozecki our you crazy!!

Hi Doug i agree with the name recognition. I think some of the MFG
marketing is just that marketing.You and i know it does not make a
difference of the brand name as long as they work and you get a good
deal. Yes many work better than some other brands. Most jobs that are
flooded less than 6" are best dryed with the cheaper traditional air
movers. Just my opinion. MR. Lozecki this is probally not your thoughts
but try a tradition against your axial fan in this condition and i will win!

Doug would you agree. You may need other types of air movers for jobs
above 6" How about you mr Lozecki.
