Does anyone know of a speed adjuster that they have successfully attached to this fan? The one I bought seems to throw the fan in reverse.

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.

Yes it does reverse - and three speeds to boot. We are still loving these fans - we have one in every bedroom.

I found I had to hammer the fan blade onto the shaft (hurr hurr...shaft) that comes out of the engine. I think it has some markings on it to indicate how it is meant to be rotated. Once I pounded it on there it seemed to work better. Another problem is you may have the fan blade on backwards e.g. the front is pointing backwards. If that is the case, the blades will likely not generate enough forward facing air.

There is not a timer installed, or any way to do it at the fan. You could always use an external timer and leave the fan on the speed you'd like to use.

No problem at all. I think the problem with the other customer was installation. Make sure you follow the directions. It's a good quality fan, you won't be disappointed.

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

I have this fan on my transmission Cooler for my dragster. I just have an on and off toggle switch for its one speed. So you could possibly put a potentiator style switch on it so you would have different speeds but I'm not the expert on that.

Yeah, I had fans that used a knob on the front of my Antec case. These won't use a knob though, they have a little switch on a wire for changing the speed, I just pull them out to change it, it isn't too hard.

I can't see any way to reverse mine, and would be grateful if someone can tell me how to this. Having said that, mine operates blowing air down all the time, which I find works well in winter to bring warm air down, and creates a nice breeze in the summer. If you look at the blade shape, they really are designed to blow downwards so am doubtful how well they would reverse (if it was possible). Apart from this, I love the fan. It is very quiet, elegant, changes speed smoothly. Love it! (and if anyone can tell me how to reverse direction, please let me know how - I'm very curious).

No, it has no speed control built into it. I haven't added any control to the fans that I run, I figure one more thing to break. I do have a control on a shop vac that works well that is made by VenTech, sold by Amazon believe it or not. It is rated for the amperage you are dealing with and it works very well. I would consider it, but there are very many options. Hope this helps. Dan

The reverse control is at the bottom of the fan speed button. It looks like two curving arrows.

No. You must use the switch on the fan body to reverse the fan. The switch only controls the speeds and light. The reverse switch is not on the control to prevent the user from reversing the fan when in operation and damaging the motor. Always start the fan control in high speed and never switch into reverse while the fan is moving. Following these guide lines should keep your fan operating for many years.

On the Back of the fan is a turning knob that will raise the speed or (when turned all the way to the left as you face the fan's back) turn the fan off.

I asked LEDwholesalers the same question RocPopy, This is there response."Hello:Sorry, our fans are unlikely to work with fan speed controllers.Regards,LEDwholesalers"That should clear things up for everyone.

Unfortunately no, you still have to use the switch on the fan housing to go from forward to reverse. I found this to be a small inconvenience.

I have installed three of these fans. If you do not tighten the bolt that runs through the support, to tight, you can turn it left and right. There is no reason to over-tighten this bolt so the fan won't move left & right. Good luck.

Well No speed control. i think it works with the 9800 but you need to measure the stock fan and make sure there the same size diameter etc. i it does a great job this has one extra blade then the stock one resulting in more air flow.
