127mm (5") x 5m Acoustic Ducting is an insulated flexible ventilation duct designed to help reduce fan and airflow noise transmitted through extraction and intake systems.
Ventilation fans generate sound from both the fan itself and the movement of air through the system. Standard uninsulated ducting can allow this noise to travel along the ventilation route, while acoustic ducting incorporates an insulating layer around the inner duct to help absorb transmitted sound.
This makes it particularly useful for indoor horticulture, propagation areas and controlled growing environments where ventilation equipment may operate for extended periods and reducing unnecessary noise is desirable.
Supplied in a 5 metre length with a nominal 127mm / 5" diameter, it can be connected to compatible fans, carbon filters and ventilation fittings. The flexible construction allows the duct to be routed around equipment and cut to the required length during installation.
Why choose 127mm acoustic ducting?
- Helps reduce ventilation noise - acoustic insulation helps absorb sound transmitted through the ductwork.
- 127mm / 5" diameter - suitable for compatible 5-inch ventilation equipment.
- 5 metre length - suitable for complete duct runs or cutting into several shorter sections.
- Insulated construction - designed to reduce transmitted sound compared with basic uninsulated flexible ducting.
- Flexible installation - straightforward to route around fans, filters and other ventilation equipment.
- Suitable for extraction - ideal for carrying extracted air away from controlled growing areas.
- Suitable for intake - can also be incorporated into compatible fresh-air intake systems.
- Cut to length - install only the amount required for a clean and efficient duct route.
- Suitable for horticultural environments - ideal for propagation, growing and other controlled-environment applications.
How does acoustic ducting reduce noise?
Noise within a ventilation system can come from the fan motor, vibration and turbulent air moving through the ductwork. Some of this sound can travel along ordinary flexible duct and become noticeable elsewhere in the installation.
Acoustic ducting surrounds the flexible inner airflow passage with insulation designed to absorb transmitted sound. This helps reduce the amount of fan and airflow noise travelling through the duct route.
It can be particularly useful around extraction fans, between compatible fans and carbon filters, and along sections of ventilation duct where transmitted noise needs to be controlled.
Acoustic ducting is intended to reduce transmitted noise rather than make a ventilation system completely silent. Fan design, fan speed, airflow velocity, vibration and installation quality all contribute to the final noise level.
Acoustic ducting for indoor horticulture
Reliable ventilation helps manage temperature, humidity and air exchange within controlled growing environments. Extraction and intake equipment can, however, become a significant source of noise when operating continuously or at higher fan speeds.
Acoustic ducting provides a practical way to reduce sound transmission while maintaining the flexibility needed to connect ventilation equipment and route air around an installation.
The 127mm / 5" size is suitable for compatible ventilation systems using appropriately sized inline fans, carbon filters, connectors and other round duct fittings.
Getting the best airflow from acoustic ducting
Good installation is important for maintaining ventilation performance. Flexible ducting should be extended sufficiently rather than left heavily compressed, helping create a smoother internal path for moving air.
Keep the duct route as short and direct as practical. Tight bends, crushed sections and unnecessary changes in direction create additional resistance and can reduce the effective airflow delivered by the fan.
Where the duct needs to change direction, use gradual bends wherever possible. The supplied 5m length can be cut so that only the amount actually required is installed.
Installing 127mm acoustic ducting
Before installation, check that the fan, carbon filter and other ventilation components have compatible nominal 127mm / 5" connections.
Fit the flexible inner duct securely over the ventilation connection and fasten it using a suitably sized duct clamp or appropriate fixing. HVAC foil tape can also be used where additional sealing is required.
Arrange the surrounding insulation and outer covering neatly around the completed connection so that the acoustic layer remains as continuous as practical.
Support longer sections appropriately rather than allowing the entire weight of the ducting to hang directly from a fan, filter or connecting fitting.
Compatible ventilation equipment
- 127mm / 5" inline extraction fans
- Compatible 5-inch carbon filters
- Ventilation silencers
- Rigid round ductwork
- Duct connectors and couplers
- Elbows and bends
- Reducers and adapters
- Duct clamps and fixing accessories
Check the actual connection diameter of individual ventilation components before installation, as dimensions can vary slightly between manufacturers.

127mm (5") Acoustic Ducting FAQs
What size is this acoustic duct?
This version has a nominal diameter of 127mm, equivalent to 5 inches, and is supplied in a 5 metre length. Is this suitable for a 5-inch extraction fan?
Yes, provided the fan has a compatible nominal 127mm / 5" connection. Can it be used with a 5-inch carbon filter?
Yes. It can be used with compatible 127mm / 5" carbon filters and extraction fans as part of an appropriately sized ventilation system. Does acoustic ducting reduce fan noise?
It helps reduce fan and airflow sound transmitted along the ductwork. It does not completely eliminate noise generated directly by the fan. Is acoustic ducting quieter than ordinary flexible ducting?
Its insulating layer is specifically intended to absorb transmitted sound, making it useful where reducing ventilation noise is important. Can acoustic ducting be used for horticultural extraction?
Yes. It is well suited to indoor horticultural ventilation systems where temperature, humidity and air exchange need to be managed while keeping transmitted ventilation noise under control. Can it be used for air intake?
Yes. Acoustic ducting can be incorporated into compatible intake as well as extraction systems. Can I cut the 5m duct into shorter sections?
Yes. It can be cut to suit the required ventilation route or divided into several individual sections. Should flexible acoustic ducting be fully extended?
It should be extended sufficiently for the installation rather than left unnecessarily compressed. This helps create a smoother internal path for airflow. Do bends in acoustic ducting affect airflow?
Yes. Tight bends increase resistance and turbulence, so smooth and gradual changes in direction are preferable wherever possible. Does duct length affect extraction performance?
Every length of duct introduces some resistance. Longer runs, multiple bends and additional fittings can therefore reduce the effective airflow of a ventilation system. Where should acoustic ducting be installed?
It can be used throughout a compatible ventilation route. Sections around the extraction fan can be particularly useful where transmitted fan noise is a concern. How should acoustic ducting be secured?
Use appropriately sized duct clamps or suitable ventilation fixings, with HVAC foil tape where additional sealing is required. How can horticultural ventilation noise be reduced further?
Correct fan sizing, sensible duct routing, vibration isolation, suitable fan-speed control and ventilation silencers can be combined with acoustic ducting to create a quieter overall system.

Please sign in to see pricing
The Loadstar Pro 600W Dual Spectrum HPS Lamp is a cost-effective high-intensity discharge lamp designed to provide useful light for both vegetative growth and flowering from a single 600W bulb.
Unlike a conventional flowering-focused HPS lamp, the Loadstar Pro uses a dual-spectrum output that supplements the characteristic red and orange HPS spectrum with additional blue light. This gives plants a broader spectrum and allows the same lamp to be used throughout the main growth and flowering stages.
The Loadstar Pro is designed for use with compatible 600W HID lighting equipment and is suitable as a replacement lamp for existing 600W HPS systems or as part of a new 600W lighting installation.
It provides a straightforward option for growers who want the proven intensity of 600W HID lighting without changing between separate vegetative and flowering lamps.
Why choose the Loadstar Pro 600W Dual Spectrum Lamp?
- 600W HPS lamp - designed for compatible 600W HID lighting systems.
- Dual-spectrum output - combines the strong red/orange output associated with HPS lighting with additional blue-spectrum light.
- Suitable for vegetative growth - the additional blue component makes the lamp more versatile than a conventional flowering-focused HPS bulb.
- Suitable for flowering - retains the strong warm-spectrum output for which HPS lighting is widely used.
- One lamp for multiple crop stages - reduces the need to change between separate growth and flowering lamps.
- High-intensity lighting - suitable for applications requiring the concentrated output of a 600W HID system.
- Replacement lamp option - ideal for replacing an ageing lamp in a compatible 600W HPS lighting system.
- Established HID technology - suitable for growers operating existing reflector and ballast-based lighting installations.
Dual spectrum for growth & flowering
Standard high-pressure sodium lamps are particularly strong in the warmer red and orange areas of the spectrum. This makes HPS technology particularly useful during flowering and fruiting, but a conventional HPS spectrum is less balanced towards blue wavelengths.
A dual-spectrum HPS lamp introduces additional blue light while retaining the strong warm-spectrum characteristics of HPS. The result is a more versatile lamp that can support vegetative development as well as flowering and fruiting.
For growers who prefer to run one type of HID lamp throughout the crop cycle, this avoids the need to swap between a separate metal halide growth lamp and HPS flowering lamp.
Suitable applications
- Vegetative plant growth
- Flowering and fruiting crops
- Controlled-environment horticulture
- Indoor plant production
- Existing 600W HPS lighting installations
- Replacement of ageing compatible 600W HID lamps
Using the Loadstar Pro 600W lamp
The Loadstar Pro must be operated with a suitable 600W HID ballast and compatible reflector or lamp holder. The ballast regulates the electrical supply required to start and operate the HID lamp correctly.
Always switch off and isolate the lighting system before fitting, removing or inspecting the lamp. Allow the lamp and reflector to cool fully before handling, as HID lamps and surrounding lighting equipment can become extremely hot during operation.
Ensure the lamp is securely fitted and use only equipment rated for the lamp type and wattage. HID lamps should not be connected directly to the mains without the appropriate ballast.
Replacing older HPS lamps
HID lamps gradually lose useful light output as they age, even when the lamp continues to illuminate normally. This means an older lamp can appear to be working while providing less effective light than when it was new.
Replacing ageing lamps is therefore an important part of maintaining an established HID lighting installation. The Loadstar Pro provides a cost-effective replacement for compatible 600W systems while retaining dual-spectrum operation across both vegetative and flowering stages.

£8.58
Unit price per
Please sign in to see pricing
Atami Kilomix 50L is a heavily fertilised peat and perlite growing substrate enriched with mineral and organic nutrition, providing demanding plants with a rich growing medium and sustained nutrient availability.
Atami Kilomix is one of the most nutrient-rich growing substrates in the Atami range. It combines peat and perlite with a substantial fertiliser charge designed to provide plants with important nutrients over an extended period.
The substrate is enriched with ingredients including Atami Worm Delight, lime, guano and other organic fertilisers, alongside mineral nutrition. This combination provides both readily available nutrition and a longer-lasting nutrient contribution as the crop develops.
Unlike a lightly fertilised substrate where the grower begins introducing a complete liquid feeding programme relatively early, Kilomix provides a much richer nutritional foundation from the outset. Atami describes the professionally balanced fertiliser composition as providing a constant supply of important nutrients over a longer period.
Perlite helps maintain an aerated physical structure and effective water management around the root zone, while the peat provides the main growing medium. The result is a nutrient-rich substrate particularly suited to established and demanding plants.
Why choose Atami Kilomix?
- Heavily fertilised growing medium – one of Atami's richer substrates for plants requiring substantial nutrition.
- Peat & perlite formulation – combines a peat-based growing medium with perlite for improved aeration and water management.
- Mineral & organic nutrition – combines different nutrient sources to provide immediate and longer-term nutritional support.
- Contains Worm Delight – incorporates Atami's worm humus-based soil enhancer as part of the enriched formulation.
- Contains guano – included as part of Kilomix's rich organic nutrient package.
- Contains lime – incorporated into the professionally formulated substrate.
- Sustained nutrient availability – formulated to provide important nutrients over an extended period.
- Reduced requirement for immediate feeding – the high initial fertilisation level means established plants begin in an already nutrient-rich medium.
- Suitable for demanding crops – particularly useful where a richer substrate is preferred from the beginning.
- Professional 50L format – suitable for individual pots as well as larger-scale and commercial growing applications.
What plants is Atami Kilomix suitable for?
Kilomix is designed for growers looking for a strongly fertilised substrate rather than a lightly charged growing medium. It is particularly useful for established plants and crops with relatively high nutritional requirements.
Because Kilomix has a significantly higher fertilisation level than Atami Janeco-Light-Mix, growers should take the existing nutrient charge into account before adding further fertiliser.
For very young seedlings, freshly rooted cuttings or particularly nutrient-sensitive varieties, a lighter substrate may offer greater control over early nutrition. Atami Janeco-Light-Mix is specifically positioned as a lightly fertilised substrate suitable for young plants and cuttings, whereas Kilomix is the richer option for more demanding growth.
Kilomix can be used for container-grown crops, indoor or protected cultivation and other soil-style growing applications where a nutrient-rich peat-based substrate is appropriate.
How to use Atami Kilomix
Fill the required container with Kilomix, allowing the substrate to remain naturally loose rather than compressing it excessively. Transplant the established plant into the substrate and water thoroughly to settle the growing medium around the root system.
Because Kilomix is already heavily fertilised, additional base fertiliser should not automatically be applied immediately after transplanting. Monitor the plants and allow their condition and stage of development to determine when additional nutrition becomes necessary.
The existing nutrient charge should also be considered when measuring the strength of any subsequent feed programme. Introducing a strong liquid fertiliser immediately into an already highly fertilised substrate can result in excessive nutrient levels.
Irrigation frequency should be adjusted according to plant size, container volume, temperature, humidity and crop water demand. Allow appropriate moisture cycling while avoiding prolonged waterlogging or allowing the root zone to become excessively dry.
Why is Kilomix more heavily fertilised?
Atami positions Kilomix above Janeco-Light-Mix in terms of fertilisation level. Its formulation combines mineral fertilisers with organic nutrient sources, giving growers a rich substrate capable of supporting crop development over an extended period.
Mineral nutrition can provide nutrients that are readily available to plants, while organic components contribute to the longer-term nutrient supply within the growing medium. Atami describes this combination as providing a constant supply of important nutrients over a prolonged period.
Kilomix includes Worm Delight, lime, guano and other organic fertilisers. Together with the peat and perlite base, these ingredients create a substantially richer environment than a lightly fertilised propagation or starter substrate.
The result is a growing medium designed for growers who want more nutrition incorporated into the substrate itself, rather than relying entirely on liquid fertilisers from the beginning of cultivation.
Peat and perlite for balanced root-zone conditions
Nutrition is only one part of a successful growing medium. Kilomix combines its substantial fertiliser charge with peat and perlite to create an effective physical environment around the roots.
Peat provides moisture retention and the main structural body of the substrate, while perlite introduces additional pore space. This helps maintain aeration and drainage within the root zone while retaining sufficient moisture for plant uptake.
Maintaining the correct balance between water and oxygen is important for healthy root development, particularly in containers where excessive compaction or saturation can restrict root-zone aeration.

203mm (8") x 5m Acoustic Ducting is an insulated flexible ventilation duct designed to help reduce noise transmission while moving air through horticultural extraction and intake systems.
Ventilation fans generate both mechanical noise and sound from the movement of air. Standard uninsulated ducting can allow this noise to travel along the ventilation route, while acoustic ducting uses an insulating layer around the inner duct to help absorb transmitted sound.
This makes acoustic ducting particularly useful for indoor horticulture and controlled growing environments where extraction equipment may operate for long periods and keeping fan and airflow noise under control is important.
Supplied in a 5 metre length with a nominal 203mm / 8" diameter, it can be used with compatible fans, carbon filters and 8-inch ventilation fittings. The flexible construction allows it to be routed around equipment and cut to the required length during installation.
Why choose 203mm acoustic ducting?
- Noise-reducing construction - insulation helps absorb sound transmitted along the ventilation duct.
- 203mm / 8" diameter - suitable for compatible 8-inch horticultural ventilation systems.
- 5 metre length - provides flexibility when planning extraction and intake routes.
- Flexible installation - easier to route around fans, filters and other equipment than rigid ductwork.
- Suitable for extraction - ideal for carrying extracted air from indoor growing environments.
- Suitable for intake - can also be used to route fresh air into controlled growing areas.
- Helps control fan and airflow noise - useful where ordinary flexible ducting would transmit excessive sound.
- Cut to length - use only the amount required for each section of the ventilation system.
- Ideal for horticulture - suitable for propagation areas, growing rooms and other controlled environments.
How does acoustic ducting work?
A horticultural ventilation system can produce noise from several sources. The fan motor itself creates sound, while fast-moving air can generate additional noise and turbulence as it passes through the ducting.
Acoustic ducting incorporates an insulating layer around the flexible inner air passage. This insulation helps absorb sound energy that would otherwise travel along the ductwork, reducing the amount of ventilation noise transmitted through the system.
It can be particularly useful close to an extraction fan, between a fan and carbon filter, and along sections of duct where transmitted noise would otherwise be noticeable.
Acoustic ducting is designed to reduce noise rather than make a ventilation system completely silent. Fan design, fan speed, airflow, vibration and the layout of the ductwork will all affect the overall noise level.
Ideal for horticultural extraction systems
Effective ventilation is essential for managing temperature, humidity and air exchange in indoor horticultural environments. However, moving large quantities of air can make extraction systems one of the main sources of environmental-control noise.
Replacing basic uninsulated ducting with acoustic ducting can help control the amount of sound transmitted through the ventilation route while still providing a flexible connection between compatible components.
The 203mm / 8" size is suitable for appropriately sized medium to high-capacity ventilation systems using compatible inline fans, carbon filters and duct fittings.
Getting the best airflow from acoustic ducting
Correct duct installation is important for maintaining ventilation performance. Flexible ducting should be extended sufficiently rather than left heavily compressed, as excessive compression creates a less efficient internal airflow path.
Keep the duct route as short and direct as practical. Tight bends, crushed sections and unnecessary changes in direction increase resistance and can reduce the effective airflow delivered by the extraction fan.
Where a change of direction is required, use a gradual bend wherever possible. The 5m duct can also be cut down so that only the length actually required is installed.
Installing 203mm acoustic ducting
Before installation, confirm that the fan, carbon filter and other ventilation components have compatible nominal 203mm / 8" connections.
Fit the flexible inner duct securely over the connection and fasten it using a suitable duct clamp or fixing. HVAC foil tape can also be used where additional sealing is required.
Arrange the surrounding insulation and outer covering neatly around the joint so that the acoustic layer remains as continuous as practical.
Support longer sections of ducting appropriately rather than allowing their full weight to hang directly from a fan, carbon filter or other ventilation component.
Compatible ventilation equipment
- 203mm / 8" inline extraction fans
- Compatible 8-inch carbon filters
- Ventilation silencers
- Rigid round ductwork
- Duct connectors and couplers
- Elbows and bends
- Reducers and adapters
- Duct clamps and fixing accessories
Check the actual connection diameter of individual ventilation components before installation, as dimensions can vary slightly between manufacturers.

203mm (8") Acoustic Ducting FAQs
What is acoustic ducting?
Acoustic ducting is insulated flexible ventilation duct designed to help absorb and reduce sound transmitted through an extraction or intake system. What size is this acoustic duct?
This version has a nominal 203mm / 8" diameter and is supplied in a 5 metre length. Is this suitable for an 8-inch extraction fan?
Yes, provided the fan has a compatible nominal 203mm / 8" duct connection. Can I use it with an 8-inch carbon filter?
Yes. It can be used to connect compatible 203mm / 8" carbon filters and extraction fans as part of an appropriately sized ventilation system. Does acoustic ducting reduce fan noise?
It helps reduce fan and airflow sound transmitted along the ductwork. It does not eliminate noise produced directly by the fan itself. Is acoustic ducting quieter than ordinary ducting?
Its insulating layer is specifically intended to absorb transmitted sound, making it useful where noise reduction is a priority. Can acoustic ducting be used for horticultural extraction?
Yes. It is well suited to indoor horticultural extraction systems where temperature, humidity and air exchange need to be managed while keeping ventilation noise under control. Can it also be used for air intake?
Yes. Acoustic ducting can be incorporated into compatible intake as well as extraction systems. Can I cut the 5m length?
Yes. The duct can be cut to suit the required ventilation route or divided into shorter sections. Should flexible acoustic ducting be fully extended?
It should be extended sufficiently for the installation rather than left unnecessarily compressed. This helps create a smoother internal path for airflow. Do bends reduce airflow?
Yes. Tight bends increase resistance and turbulence, so gradual changes in direction are preferable wherever possible. Does longer ducting affect extraction performance?
Every length of duct introduces some resistance. Longer runs, multiple bends and additional fittings can therefore reduce the effective airflow of a ventilation system. Where should acoustic ducting be installed?
It can be used throughout a compatible ventilation route. Sections around the extraction fan are particularly useful where transmitted fan noise is a concern. How should acoustic ducting be secured?
Use appropriately sized duct clamps or suitable ventilation fixings, with HVAC foil tape where additional sealing is required. How can horticultural ventilation noise be reduced further?
Correct fan sizing, sensible duct routing, vibration isolation, suitable fan-speed control and ventilation silencers can be combined with acoustic ducting to create a quieter overall system.

The Neutralizer Road Kit is a compact vehicle odour neutralising system designed for cars, saloons and standard-size SUVs. Rather than operating as a conventional fragranced car air freshener, the system uses an Electronic Molecule Evaporator (EME-320) together with a replaceable 20ml essential-oil cartridge to tackle unwanted odours inside the vehicle.
Developed specifically for vehicle use, the Road Kit has a much faster activation time than the larger Neutralizer systems. Natural accelerants within the Road Kit formulation allow the system to begin working in approximately 5 minutes.
The supplied 20ml Road Kit Cartridge contains The Neutralizer's blend of essential oils derived from plant materials including flowers, fruits, roots and other botanical sources.
The system is particularly useful where persistent smells build up inside an enclosed vehicle and a conventional hanging air freshener or fragrance spray simply masks the problem.
Why choose The Neutralizer Road Kit?
- Designed specifically for vehicles - suitable for standard-size cars, saloons and SUVs.
- Approximately 5-minute activation - formulated to begin working considerably faster than larger Neutralizer units.
- Odour neutralising system - designed to tackle unwanted odours rather than simply covering them with a stronger fragrance.
- Electronic Molecule Evaporator - supplied with the EME-320 Road Kit unit.
- 20ml essential-oil cartridge included - ready to set up with the supplied Road Kit refill.
- Up to 45 days of use - based on approximately 2 hours of operation per day.

- 1 x EME-320 Electronic Molecule Evaporator
- 1 x RKC-20 Road Kit Cartridge containing 20ml of essential-oil formulation
- 1 x foam cup-holder adaptor for positioning the unit inside the vehicle
Once the original cartridge has been used, replacement 20ml Road Kit cartridges can be fitted without replacing the EME-320 unit.
How does The Neutralizer Road Kit work?
At the centre of the system is the EME-320 Electronic Molecule Evaporator. The device is designed to control the evaporation of the essential-oil formulation so that volatile components are dispersed through the vehicle interior.
The Road Kit formulation incorporates natural accelerants to reduce the activation period to approximately five minutes. This makes it better suited to vehicle use, where a long warm-up period would be impractical.
The manufacturer describes The Neutralizer as an odour-neutralising system rather than a conventional masking fragrance. This distinction makes the Road Kit particularly useful for persistent smells in enclosed vehicle interiors.
Using The Neutralizer Road Kit in your car
Fit the Road Kit cartridge to the EME-320 in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions and position the assembled unit securely inside the vehicle using the supplied foam cup-holder adaptor.
The Road Kit is designed to connect to the vehicle's 12V electrical socket. Once powered, allow approximately five minutes for the unit and formulation to activate.
The system is designed to provide coverage for a standard-size saloon or SUV. Cartridge life will depend primarily on the amount of time the unit is operated.
Always position the unit securely so that it cannot interfere with the driver, pedals, controls or safe operation of the vehicle.
How long does a Road Kit cartridge last?
The supplied cartridge contains 20ml of The Neutralizer Road Kit formulation.
According to the manufacturer, one cartridge can last for up to 45 days when operated for approximately 2 hours per day.
When operated continuously, manufacturer guidance gives a total service life of approximately 80-92 hours. Actual cartridge life will therefore depend on the operating pattern.
Replacement Road Kit cartridges allow the EME-320 electronic unit to be reused once the original refill has been exhausted.
Suitable for persistent vehicle odours
Vehicle interiors contain upholstery, carpets, headlining and other materials that can retain unwanted smells. The Neutralizer Road Kit is designed for situations where these persistent odours require more than a conventional fragranced car air freshener.
Potential applications include vehicles affected by persistent:
- Smoke-related odours
- Food smells
- Pet odours
- Organic and plant-related smells
- General stale vehicle odours
- Other persistent unwanted smells within the cabin
Where the underlying source of an odour is contamination, damp, mould, spilled material or another physical problem, the source should also be identified and properly cleaned or corrected.
Replaceable 20ml Road Kit cartridges
The Road Kit is a refillable system rather than a single-use vehicle air freshener. Once the supplied 20ml cartridge has reached the end of its service life, it can be replaced with the dedicated RKC-20 Road Kit Cartridge.
Road Kit cartridges are specifically intended for the vehicle system, so use the correct replacement cartridge rather than cartridges intended for the Neutralizer Compact or Pro systems.

A highly concentrated irrigation system cleaner that helps prevent biofilm, nutrient deposits and blocked drip lines while keeping water, oxygen and nutrients moving freely through the system.
Aptus System-Clean is a concentrated irrigation cleaner developed to keep nutrient tanks, pipework, drippers and irrigation systems operating efficiently throughout the crop cycle. It is particularly useful where nutrient residues and organic additives can contribute to biofilm and deposits inside irrigation equipment.
Unabsorbed nutrients can accumulate within irrigation systems, encouraging biofilm and creating conditions in which unwanted microbial activity can develop. System-Clean acts as a powerful oxidiser to help control this build-up before it restricts water and nutrient delivery.
Keeping irrigation pathways clean also helps water, dissolved oxygen and nutrients reach the root zone more effectively. This makes System-Clean particularly valuable in drip irrigation and other systems where narrow pipework, emitters and drippers are vulnerable to gradual blockage.
The Aptus Holland UK programme uses System-Clean at just 2.5ml per 10 litres of water. At this concentration, a 1L bottle is sufficient for approximately 4,000 litres of nutrient solution.
Why use Aptus System-Clean?
- Helps keep irrigation lines clean – designed to prevent deposits and blockages developing inside irrigation equipment.
- Controls biofilm build-up – helps prevent nutrient residues from contributing to biological deposits within the system.
- Supports efficient nutrient delivery – clean irrigation pathways allow water and dissolved nutrients to move freely towards the root zone.
- Supports oxygen availability – Aptus identifies increased oxygen around the root area as one of the benefits of maintaining a clean irrigation system.
- Helps remove sources of pathogens – reduces the residues and biological build-up that can provide favourable conditions for unwanted microbes.
- Ideal for drip irrigation – particularly useful where small drippers and emitters are susceptible to blockages.
- Useful with organic Aptus additives – recommended within Aptus programmes using products such as Startbooster and Topbooster through drip systems.
- Highly concentrated – the Aptus Holland UK application rate is only 2.5ml per 10L.
- Excellent coverage – a 1L bottle treats approximately 4,000L of nutrient solution at the standard rate.
- Designed for ongoing system maintenance – can be incorporated into the feeding programme rather than waiting until irrigation lines have already become restricted.
What is Aptus System-Clean suitable for?
System-Clean is designed for irrigation systems where fertiliser residues, organic additives and biological deposits can gradually accumulate within tanks, pipes, drippers and other components.
It is particularly useful in drip irrigation systems. Narrow emitters can be vulnerable to organic biofilm and nutrient deposits, which can gradually restrict flow and cause uneven irrigation across a crop.
System-Clean also plays an important role when organic Aptus products are delivered through drip irrigation. Products such as Startbooster and Topbooster contain organic material, so Aptus recommends using System-Clean alongside them to help reduce the risk of organic build-up and blocked irrigation lines.
Rather than treating irrigation cleanliness as an occasional maintenance job, System-Clean allows growers to incorporate line hygiene into normal reservoir management throughout the crop cycle.
How to use Aptus System-Clean
Add 2.5ml of Aptus System-Clean per 10 litres of water, equivalent to 0.25ml/L. Aptus recommends adding it to the nutrient tank preferably just before each watering.
For 10L of nutrient solution, use 2.5ml. For 50L, use 12.5ml. For 100L, use 25ml. For a 500L reservoir, use 125ml. For 1,000L, use 250ml.
When preparing a nutrient tank, first mix the normal nutrient programme and adjust the pH. Add System-Clean last, after the pH has been adjusted.
Aptus states that System-Clean remains effective in the nutrient solution for a maximum of approximately 3 days. Where mixed nutrient solution remains in the reservoir for longer than this, add System-Clean again to the complete volume of water to continue helping minimise biofilm and residue build-up.
At the standard Aptus Holland UK rate of 2.5ml per 10L, a 1L bottle treats approximately 4,000 litres of nutrient solution.

How long does Aptus System-Clean last in a reservoir?
Aptus states that System-Clean lasts for a maximum of approximately 3 days in nutrient solution. If the solution remains in the tank for longer, System-Clean should be added again to the complete reservoir volume.
Does Aptus System-Clean help prevent blocked drippers?
Yes. Preventing biofilm and nutrient deposits is one of the main reasons for using System-Clean, making it particularly useful for drip irrigation systems where narrow emitters are vulnerable to blockages.
Does Aptus System-Clean remove biofilm?
Yes. Aptus specifically identifies the removal and prevention of biofilm build-up within irrigation systems as one of System-Clean's core functions.
Why use System-Clean with Aptus Startbooster?
Startbooster is an organic product, and organic material can increase the risk of biofilm and blocked drip lines. Aptus therefore recommends using System-Clean when Startbooster is applied through drip irrigation.
Why use System-Clean with Aptus Topbooster?
Topbooster is also an organic product. When it is delivered through drip irrigation, System-Clean helps manage the organic and nutrient build-up that could otherwise contribute to restricted drippers and irrigation lines.
Does System-Clean affect nutrient-solution pH?
Aptus Holland states that maintaining a clean irrigation system with System-Clean allows oxygen and nutrients to reach the plant without affecting pH. The manufacturer instructs growers to adjust the nutrient solution pH before adding System-Clean.
Can Aptus System-Clean be used throughout the crop cycle?
Yes. The Aptus feeding programme incorporates System-Clean during vegetative growth and throughout flowering, making it an ongoing irrigation-maintenance product rather than something reserved only for the end of a crop.

A highly concentrated 100% organic bloom and maturation booster designed to support flowering, fruit development and final crop quality at just 2ml per 10L.
Aptus Topbooster is a concentrated flowering biostimulant developed to support plants through established flowering and maturation. It works alongside a base NPK fertiliser rather than replacing it, providing a carefully selected combination of organic compounds and trace elements during one of the most demanding stages of crop development.
The formula combines L-amino acids and polysaccharides with boron, iron and molybdenum, natural flowering stimulants and vitamin complexes produced through natural fermentation. Aptus uses this combination to support floral development and maturation while encouraging efficient nutrient uptake and beneficial microbial activity around the root zone.
Topbooster is also designed to support the natural production of fibres, resins and sugars as flowering develops, helping growers focus not simply on crop size but on the quality, appearance and natural characteristics of the finished crop.
Because the formula is highly concentrated, very little product is required. At the standard 2ml per 10L rate, a 250ml bottle provides enough concentrate to prepare approximately 1,250 litres of nutrient solution.
Why choose Aptus Topbooster?
- 100% organic formulation – a concentrated organic bloom and maturation stimulator.

What is Aptus Topbooster suitable for?
Aptus Topbooster is intended for flowering and fruiting crops once they have moved beyond vegetative development and into established flowering. It is used as an additive alongside an appropriate NPK base fertiliser rather than as a standalone feed.
In crop-stage terms, introduce Topbooster once the initial flowering transition has passed and flowering is becoming established. Continue through active flower or fruit development and maturation, stopping before the final flushing stage.
Topbooster can be incorporated into a complete Aptus feeding programme or used alongside another appropriate NPK base fertiliser. Its concentrated formulation makes the 250ml bottle particularly practical for smaller reservoirs and growers who want to introduce Topbooster without moving straight to a larger pack size.
How to use Aptus Topbooster
Use 2ml of Aptus Topbooster per 10 litres of water, equivalent to 0.2ml/L or a dilution of 1:5000. Introduce it once flowering is established and continue through active flowering and maturation before the final flush.
For 10L of nutrient solution, use 2ml. For 50L, use 10ml. For 100L, use 20ml. For a 500L reservoir, use 100ml. For 1,000L, use 200ml.
At the standard 2ml per 10L application rate, a 250ml bottle prepares approximately 1,250 litres of nutrient solution.
Aptus states that Topbooster can also be increased gradually for healthy, vigorous crops, from the standard 2ml up to a maximum of 4ml per 10L as flowering and maturation progress. The standard 2ml per 10L rate remains the appropriate starting point.
Topbooster is a 100% organic product. In drip irrigation systems, organic material can increase the risk of biofilm and blocked drippers, so Aptus recommends using System-Clean alongside Topbooster.
Do not leave diluted Topbooster standing in a reservoir for longer than 2 – 3 days. Prepare fresh nutrient solution regularly to reduce organic biofilm build-up within irrigation equipment.
Topbooster is a flowering additive rather than a complete base nutrient. Always use it alongside an appropriate NPK fertiliser.

The Krystal Dual Fan Speed Controller is a thermostatic ventilation controller designed to manage an intake fan and extraction fan together, automatically adjusting ventilation according to the measured temperature.
With two independently adjustable fan-speed controls, the Krystal controller allows the balance between intake and extraction airflow to be set while its remote temperature sensor monitors the environment. Set the required target temperature and the controller automatically manages the connected fans to help maintain a more stable environment.
Two UK power outlets are built directly into the controller, providing dedicated connections for the intake and extraction fans. Each outlet can control a compatible fan with a maximum power of 320W.
A digital temperature display and LED indicators provide an immediate view of target and current temperatures, making the Krystal Dual Fan Speed Controller a straightforward solution for automated ventilation without the complexity of a larger environmental-control system.
Why choose the Krystal Dual Fan Speed Controller?
- Controls two fans - dedicated power outlets allow an intake and extraction fan to be controlled from one unit.
- Automatic temperature control - set the required temperature and the controller adjusts ventilation accordingly.
- Independent fan-speed adjustment - intake and extraction speeds can be balanced to suit the ventilation system.
- Negative-pressure control - the difference between intake and extraction airflow can be adjusted to help maintain the required pressure balance.
- Remote temperature sensor - measures conditions within the controlled environment rather than at the controller itself.
- Digital temperature display - provides clear temperature information during setup and operation.
- LED status indicators - provides quick visual feedback from the controller.
- Up to 320W per outlet - each fan output supports a compatible fan up to the specified maximum power.
- Helps reduce unnecessary fan noise - fans do not need to operate continuously at maximum speed when full airflow is unnecessary.
- Plug-in installation - designed as a straightforward controller for compatible mains-powered ventilation fans.
Automatic temperature-based ventilation
Temperature can change substantially as lighting, external weather and other environmental conditions change. A ventilation system running at one fixed speed cannot respond automatically to those variations.
The Krystal Dual Fan Speed Controller uses its temperature sensor to continuously monitor the environment. Once the required target temperature has been selected, the controller adjusts the connected fans accordingly.
This allows ventilation to respond to environmental demand rather than requiring repeated manual adjustment of the fans.
The result is a more controlled approach to air exchange, particularly where extraction is the primary method used to remove excess heat.
Control intake & extraction together
The controller provides two mains power outlets, allowing both sides of a balanced ventilation system to be managed from the same unit.
Extraction fan
The extraction fan removes warm air from the controlled environment and provides the primary air exchange.
Intake fan
The intake fan supplies replacement air as the extraction system removes air from the environment.
Using both fans through one controller allows their operation to be coordinated while still giving the user control over the balance between intake and extraction airflow.
Adjustable airflow & negative pressure
Intake and extraction systems do not necessarily need to operate at identical airflow rates. In many filtered extraction systems, slightly greater extraction than intake is desirable to maintain negative pressure.
The Krystal controller provides separate adjustment for the two connected fans, allowing the intake/extraction balance to be tuned for the installation.
Actual pressure balance will depend on the fans themselves as well as carbon filters, duct length, bends, intake restrictions and other components in the ventilation system.
Fan-speed settings should therefore be adjusted according to the behaviour of the complete installed system rather than simply setting both controls to identical positions.
Reduce unnecessary ventilation noise
A ventilation fan normally produces more motor and airflow noise as its speed increases. Running both intake and extraction fans at maximum output continuously can therefore create considerably more noise than necessary.
By allowing fan speeds to be adjusted and ventilation to respond to temperature, the Krystal controller can help avoid unnecessarily high airflow when environmental demand is lower.
For further noise reduction, combine correctly controlled fan speeds with appropriately sized ducting, smooth airflow routes, vibration isolation and acoustic ducting where required.
Temperature sensor for accurate control
The supplied temperature sensor should be positioned in a representative part of the controlled environment so the controller receives a useful indication of the temperature experienced by the crop.
Avoid positioning the sensor directly beside heaters, lighting equipment, air intakes or extraction points, as these can produce localised temperatures that do not represent the wider environment.
Keeping the sensor away from direct radiant heat and strong airflow will generally provide a more representative measurement for automatic fan control.
Fan compatibility
The Krystal Dual Fan Speed Controller is intended for compatible mains-powered AC ventilation fans that can be controlled using this type of fan-speed controller.
Each outlet supports a fan with a maximum specified power of 320W. Always check the fan manufacturer's electrical and speed-control requirements before connecting equipment.
This is not an EC signal controller. EC fans that require a dedicated 0-10V, PWM, digital or manufacturer-specific low-voltage control signal should be used with the appropriate EC fan controller instead.
Setting up the Krystal Dual Fan Speed Controller
- Position the temperature sensor in a representative area.
- Connect a compatible extraction fan to the appropriate outlet.
- Connect a compatible intake fan to the second outlet where active intake is being used.
- Set the required target temperature.
- Adjust the intake and extraction fan speeds to establish the required airflow balance.
- Allow the environment to stabilise and check the resulting temperature and pressure balance.
- Fine-tune the fan settings if required.
Fans should remain within the controller's specified electrical rating, and the ventilation system should be correctly sized for the environment being controlled.

Krystal Dual Fan Speed Controller FAQs
What does the Krystal Dual Fan Speed Controller do?
It controls an intake fan and extraction fan from one unit, using a temperature sensor and adjustable fan-speed controls to help maintain the selected environmental temperature. How many fans can the Krystal controller operate?
The controller has two power outlets, allowing one compatible intake fan and one compatible extraction fan to be connected. What is the maximum fan power?
Each of the two fan outlets can control a compatible fan with a maximum power of 320W. Does the Krystal controller automatically respond to temperature?
Yes. Set the required target temperature and the controller uses its supplied temperature sensor to adjust ventilation accordingly. Can I adjust the intake and extraction fans separately?
Yes. The intake and extraction fan speeds can be adjusted to establish the required balance between incoming and outgoing airflow. Can the Krystal controller help maintain negative pressure?
Yes. By setting the extraction airflow higher than the intake airflow, the controller can be used as part of a ventilation system designed to maintain negative pressure. The actual pressure achieved will depend on the complete installation. Does the controller include a temperature sensor?
Yes. A temperature sensor is included so the controller can monitor the environment and adjust fan operation in response to temperature. Does it display the current temperature?
Yes. The controller features a digital display and LED indicators for monitoring target and current temperature information. Can I use only an extraction fan?
The controller is designed around dual-fan control, but the ventilation requirements of the installation determine whether active intake is necessary. Where only one fan is connected, always ensure the equipment and controller are being used appropriately. Will controlling fan speed reduce noise?
Reducing unnecessary fan speed can reduce motor and airflow noise. Overall noise will also depend on the fans, ducting, filters, vibration and airflow restrictions. Can I use the Krystal controller with a carbon-filter extraction system?
Yes. It can control compatible extraction and intake fans used within a filtered ventilation system, provided the fans are suitable for speed control and remain within the controller's electrical rating. Can this controller operate EC fans?
This controller is intended for compatible mains-powered AC fans. EC fans requiring 0-10V, PWM or another dedicated low-voltage speed-control signal should use the appropriate EC controller specified for the fan. Where should I place the temperature sensor?
Place the sensor in a representative area away from direct heat sources, strong intake or extraction airflow and other localised conditions that could distort the temperature reading. Why control both intake and extraction fans?
Controlling both fans allows total ventilation and the balance between incoming and outgoing air to be adjusted together. This can provide more stable temperature and pressure control than operating two fans independently. How many Krystal Dual Fan Speed Controllers are in an outer case?
The outer case quantity for this SKU is 16 controllers.

102mm (4") x 5m Mute Silent Ducting is an acoustically insulated flexible ventilation duct designed to help reduce fan and airflow noise transmitted through extraction and intake systems.
Standard flexible ducting provides a convenient route for moving air, but it can also transmit noise generated by an extraction fan and turbulent airflow. In smaller indoor growing environments, where ventilation equipment is often positioned relatively close to the growing area, this noise can be particularly noticeable.
Mute Silent Ducting uses an insulated construction around the flexible inner airflow duct to help absorb transmitted sound. It provides a practical upgrade from standard uninsulated ducting where quieter ventilation is required.
With a 102mm (4") nominal diameter and 5m length, this version is ideal for compatible 4-inch extraction fans, carbon filters and ventilation equipment used in smaller grow rooms, grow tents, propagation areas and other indoor ventilation installations.
Why choose 102mm acoustic silent ducting?
- Helps reduce ventilation noise - acoustic insulation helps absorb sound transmitted through the ductwork.
- 102mm / 4" diameter - suitable for compatible 4-inch ventilation equipment.
- 5 metre length - use as a continuous duct run or cut into shorter sections.
- Acoustically insulated - designed for installations where reducing transmitted fan and airflow noise is important.
- Flexible construction - easier to route around equipment and obstacles than rigid ductwork.
- Suitable for extraction - use with compatible fans, carbon filters, silencers and exhaust routes.
- Suitable for intake - can also be incorporated into appropriately designed fresh-air intake systems.
- Ideal for grow tents and smaller grow rooms - particularly useful where ventilation equipment is positioned close to the growing space.
- Cut to the required length - the 5m roll can be divided to suit individual ventilation layouts.
How does acoustic ducting reduce noise?
Ventilation noise can originate from several sources. The fan motor itself produces sound, while the movement of air through the fan, ducting, filters and fittings can create additional turbulence and noise.
Standard ducting can carry this sound along the ventilation route. Acoustic ducting adds an insulating layer around the flexible inner duct to help absorb transmitted noise before it travels through the system.
This makes it particularly useful immediately before or after an extraction fan, between compatible ventilation components and along exhaust routes where sound from the ventilation system would otherwise be noticeable.
Acoustic ducting is designed to reduce transmitted noise rather than make an extraction system completely silent. Fan vibration, motor noise, airflow velocity and the overall system design can still influence the final sound level.
Quieter 4-inch grow room and grow tent ventilation
102mm-class ventilation equipment is commonly used in smaller indoor horticultural installations where heat, humidity and stale air need to be removed without installing unnecessarily large extraction equipment.
In a compact grow tent or propagation area, the fan and ducting are often located relatively close to the growing space. This can make ventilation noise more apparent than it would be in a larger installation.
Using acoustic ducting helps reduce sound transmitted along the ventilation route while retaining the flexibility required to route ductwork through tent ports, around equipment and towards the extraction point.
Maintaining good airflow
Good duct installation is important for maintaining the performance of any extraction system. Flexible ducting should be routed as directly as practical and unnecessary restrictions should be avoided.
Extend the duct sufficiently for the required route rather than leaving large sections heavily compressed. This reduces excessive internal corrugation and provides a smoother route for moving air.
Avoid crushing the duct and minimise very tight bends. Every bend, carbon filter, silencer, reducer and length of duct adds resistance to the system, so keeping the airflow path straightforward helps the fan operate effectively.
This is particularly relevant with 102mm systems, where restrictive routing can have a noticeable effect on the airflow available from a smaller extraction fan.
Installing 102mm Mute Silent Ducting
Measure the required ventilation route before cutting. The 5m length can be installed as one continuous run or divided into shorter sections depending on the layout.
When connecting to a compatible fan, carbon filter, silencer or rigid fitting, secure the inner duct over the connection using an appropriately sized duct clamp or clip.
Arrange the surrounding insulation and outer covering neatly around the connection. Suitable HVAC foil tape can also be used where additional sealing is required.
Support longer sections of insulated ducting rather than allowing their full weight to hang directly from the extraction fan, carbon filter or another ventilation component.
Compatible 102mm / 4" ventilation equipment
This ducting is intended for nominal 102mm (4") round ventilation systems and can be used with appropriately sized components including:
- 102mm / 4" inline extraction fans
- 102mm / 4" carbon filters
- 102mm / 4" acoustic silencers
- Compatible rigid round ducting
- 102mm / 4" elbows and bends
- 102mm / 4" straight connectors
- Compatible reducers and adapters
- Suitable duct clamps and clips
Always check the actual connection diameter of adjoining equipment before installation. Nominal metric and imperial ventilation sizes are commonly used together, but exact connection dimensions can vary slightly between manufacturers.

102mm (4") Mute Silent Ducting FAQs
What is acoustic ducting?
Acoustic ducting is flexible ventilation ducting surrounded by insulation designed to help reduce sound transmitted through the ventilation system. What size is this silent ducting?
It has a nominal diameter of 102mm, approximately 4 inches, and is supplied in a 5m length. Is this suitable for a 4-inch extraction fan?
Yes, provided the fan has a compatible nominal 102mm / 4" connection. Is this suitable for a grow tent?
Yes. Its 102mm nominal diameter makes it particularly useful with compatible 4-inch ventilation equipment used in smaller grow tents and indoor growing environments. Will acoustic ducting completely silence my extraction fan?
No. It helps reduce sound transmitted through the ductwork, but motor noise, vibration and airflow can still contribute to the overall noise produced by the system. Is acoustic ducting quieter than standard flexible ducting?
Its insulated construction is specifically intended to reduce transmitted sound compared with basic uninsulated flexible ventilation ducting. Can I connect it to a carbon filter?
Yes. It can be used with compatible 102mm / 4" carbon filters, extraction fans and other appropriately sized ventilation equipment. Can acoustic ducting be used with a silencer?
Yes. It can be combined with a compatible ventilation silencer where additional reduction of transmitted ventilation noise is required. Can the 5m duct be cut into shorter sections?
Yes. The ducting can be cut to suit the installation using suitable tools, taking care when cutting the inner duct, reinforcement and surrounding insulation. Can this ducting be used for air intake?
Yes. It can be incorporated into compatible intake systems as well as extraction installations. Does flexible ducting reduce airflow?
All ductwork introduces some resistance. Keeping the duct reasonably extended and avoiding unnecessary length, compression and tight bends helps minimise additional pressure loss. Should acoustic ducting be stretched out?
It should be extended sufficiently for the required route rather than left heavily compressed. This helps provide a less restrictive internal airflow path. Can I bend it around corners?
Yes. Its flexible construction allows changes in direction, although very tight bends that crush or significantly restrict the inner duct should be avoided. How should 4-inch acoustic ducting be secured?
Secure the inner duct to compatible fittings using an appropriately sized duct clamp or clip. Suitable HVAC foil tape can be used where additional sealing is required. What else can help reduce grow room extraction noise?

127mm (5") x 10m Acoustic Ducting is an insulated flexible ventilation duct designed to help reduce fan and airflow noise transmitted through extraction and intake systems.
Ventilation fans generate sound from both the fan itself and the movement of air through the system. Standard uninsulated ducting can allow this noise to travel along the ventilation route, while acoustic ducting incorporates an insulating layer around the inner duct to help absorb transmitted sound.
This makes it particularly useful for indoor horticulture, propagation areas and controlled growing environments where ventilation equipment may operate for extended periods and reducing unnecessary noise is desirable.
Supplied in a generous 10 metre length with a nominal 127mm / 5" diameter, it can be connected to compatible fans, carbon filters and ventilation fittings. The flexible construction allows it to be routed around equipment and cut into the exact lengths required for the installation.
Why choose 127mm acoustic ducting?
- Helps reduce ventilation noise - acoustic insulation helps absorb sound transmitted through the ductwork.
- 127mm / 5" diameter - suitable for compatible 5-inch ventilation equipment.
- 10 metre length - ideal for longer duct runs or cutting into several individual sections.
- Insulated construction - designed to reduce transmitted sound compared with basic uninsulated flexible ducting.
- Flexible installation - straightforward to route around fans, filters and other ventilation equipment.
- Suitable for extraction - ideal for carrying extracted air away from controlled growing areas.
- Suitable for intake - can also be incorporated into compatible fresh-air intake systems.
- Cut to length - use only the amount required for each part of the ventilation installation.
- Suitable for horticultural environments - ideal for propagation, growing and other controlled-environment applications.
How does acoustic ducting reduce noise?
Noise within a ventilation system can come from the fan motor, vibration and turbulent air moving through the ductwork. Some of this sound can travel along ordinary flexible duct and become noticeable elsewhere in the installation.
Acoustic ducting surrounds the flexible inner airflow passage with insulation designed to absorb transmitted sound. This helps reduce the amount of fan and airflow noise travelling through the duct route.
It can be particularly useful around extraction fans, between compatible fans and carbon filters, and along longer sections of ventilation duct where transmitted noise needs to be controlled.
Acoustic ducting is intended to reduce transmitted noise rather than make a ventilation system completely silent. Fan design, fan speed, airflow velocity, vibration and installation quality all contribute to the final noise level.
Acoustic ducting for indoor horticulture
Reliable ventilation helps manage temperature, humidity and air exchange within controlled growing environments. Extraction and intake equipment can, however, become a significant source of noise when operating continuously or at higher fan speeds.
Acoustic ducting provides a practical way to reduce sound transmission while maintaining the flexibility needed to connect ventilation equipment and route air around an installation.
The 127mm / 5" size is suitable for compatible ventilation systems using appropriately sized inline fans, carbon filters, connectors and other round duct fittings.
The 10m length is particularly useful for larger installations, longer ventilation routes or applications where several separate sections of acoustic ducting are required.
Getting the best airflow from acoustic ducting
Good installation is important for maintaining ventilation performance. Flexible ducting should be extended sufficiently rather than left heavily compressed, helping create a smoother internal path for moving air.
Keep the duct route as short and direct as practical. Tight bends, crushed sections and unnecessary changes in direction create additional resistance and can reduce the effective airflow delivered by the fan.
Where the duct needs to change direction, use gradual bends wherever possible. Although this product provides 10 metres of ducting, there is no need to use the entire length in one continuous run.
Cutting each section to the length actually required can help minimise unnecessary resistance while leaving the remaining duct available for other parts of the ventilation installation.
Installing 127mm acoustic ducting
Before installation, check that the fan, carbon filter and other ventilation components have compatible nominal 127mm / 5" connections.
Fit the flexible inner duct securely over the ventilation connection and fasten it using a suitably sized duct clamp or appropriate fixing. HVAC foil tape can also be used where additional sealing is required.
Arrange the surrounding insulation and outer covering neatly around the completed connection so that the acoustic layer remains as continuous as practical.
Longer sections should be supported appropriately rather than allowing the entire weight of the ducting to hang directly from a fan, filter or connecting fitting.
Compatible ventilation equipment
- 127mm / 5" inline extraction fans
- Compatible 5-inch carbon filters
- Ventilation silencers
- Rigid round ductwork

127mm (5") Acoustic Ducting FAQs
What is acoustic ducting?
Acoustic ducting is insulated flexible ventilation duct designed to help absorb and reduce sound transmitted through an extraction or intake system. What size is this acoustic duct?
This version has a nominal diameter of 127mm, equivalent to 5 inches, and is supplied in a 10 metre length. Is this suitable for a 5-inch extraction fan?
Yes, provided the fan has a compatible nominal 127mm / 5" connection. Can it be used with a 5-inch carbon filter?
Yes. It can be used with compatible 127mm / 5" carbon filters and extraction fans as part of an appropriately sized ventilation system. Does acoustic ducting reduce fan noise?
It helps reduce fan and airflow sound transmitted along the ductwork. It does not completely eliminate noise generated directly by the fan. Is acoustic ducting quieter than ordinary flexible ducting?
Its insulating layer is specifically intended to absorb transmitted sound, making it useful where reducing ventilation noise is important. Can acoustic ducting be used for horticultural extraction?
Yes. It is well suited to indoor horticultural ventilation systems where temperature, humidity and air exchange need to be managed while keeping transmitted ventilation noise under control. Can it be used for air intake?
Yes. Acoustic ducting can be incorporated into compatible intake as well as extraction systems. Can I cut the 10m duct into shorter sections?
Yes. It can be cut to suit the required ventilation route or divided into several individual sections. Do I need to use the full 10 metre length?
No. Use only the amount required for the installation. Keeping duct routes reasonably short and direct generally helps minimise unnecessary airflow resistance. Should flexible acoustic ducting be fully extended?
It should be extended sufficiently for the installation rather than left unnecessarily compressed. This helps create a smoother internal path for airflow. Do bends in acoustic ducting affect airflow?
Yes. Tight bends increase resistance and turbulence, so smooth and gradual changes in direction are preferable wherever possible. Does a longer duct run affect extraction performance?
Every length of duct introduces some resistance. Longer runs, multiple bends and additional fittings can therefore reduce the effective airflow of a ventilation system. How should a long run of acoustic ducting be supported?
Longer sections should be supported at suitable intervals so that their weight is not carried entirely by the fan, filter or connecting fittings. How can horticultural ventilation noise be reduced further?
Correct fan sizing, sensible duct routing, vibration isolation, suitable fan-speed control and ventilation silencers can be combined with acoustic ducting to create a quieter overall system.
