Fantech VHR 100R ES Reviews & Ratings

Good Value, Meets Code Requirements...

Only thing that I can complain about is the duct connectors are OVAL. No where in the description does it mention this. So when you make a connection with your round pipe, you will have to oval the round pipe heavily to make it fit on the connector. Also have to use a pipe crimper twice to make a he pipe fit into the connector. Will absolutely be a problem if your piping will have to connect to a elbow to turn away from the unit.

This is the best unit I could find on the internet worldwide

Review Posted 02/27/2019
I am living in New Zealand and ordered it for use here although we have a different mains voltage and frequency (230V / 50Hz). I'll be using this in our new home and use an Eaton UPS to change the mains frequency and a small transformer to step down to 120V/60Hz. I am going through this setup because I could not find a better unit worldwide. I do not understand why humidity is used for automatic control. Using CO2 level as would have been better, perhaps it has to do with reliability (I had two CO2 meters fail on me and they are not cheap). I had expected a small controller to set the three speeds manually, unfortunately I had to buy that separately. Living in New Zealand I would have appreciated a proper schematic that can be used for functionality checking / repair if ever needed.
