Great Replacement Fan for Radon System,

This review is from: Fantech FR 150 Inline Centrifugal 6" Duct Fan Molded Housing Ð 263 CFM
I bought this fan after researching on the manufacturer's website for an exact replacement for the fan on my radon system, which had been compromised by a large rodent who crawled in when the fan was off. What a mess! Piping all stunk and was contaminated, and the fan not only smelled horrid but was burned out. This fan fit right into the existing couplings. It was easy to wire up with the pigtail from the old fan. I run this one continuously so animals won't venture in.
Fan is somewhat quieter than the original, although same brand. Of course, after 17 years, the models numbers has changed so it too some thorough research to determine the correct model, which I was then able to track down easily through Amazon.

Fan appears to work well, based on a few weeks of use. Easy installation, quiet operation, and significant air flow. I also bought a digital radon meter for $119 that I recommend buying as well. Using the radon meter, I measured a noticeable drop in radon levels after the fan was installed. Without a fan running for weeks, the level rose to 18 p/L, but with the fan running, it dropped to 1.6 p/L in three days. The radon meter can be reset and placed in new locations in the basement for location-specific radon level measurements.

The FR150 was the model originally installed with my radon system. At the time I was told to expect 7-8 years of service from it before replacement was needed. So far it's still going strong after 14+ years. It's quiet and perfectly reliable; I've had to do nothing to it the entire time.
