Vortex Thermostatic Fan Speed Controller 1000W

The Vortex 1000W Thermostatic Fan Controller With Dimmer gives growers precision command over their grow room extraction or intake ventilation. Designed to manage heavy-duty air movement equipment, this high-capacity unit automatically adjusts fan speeds based on real-time temperature fluctuations, ensuring your canopy stays within the ideal environmental zone while keeping energy use and noise levels to a minimum.

Capable of handling a massive maximum load of 1000 Watts, this controller easily manages larger inline ventilation fans or multiple duct fans connected in parallel. The integrated, fully adjustable thermostat allows you to set your target temperature; when ambient room heat exceeds this set point, the controller smoothly ramps up fan speed to clear hot air. Once the room cools back down, the unit automatically dials fan speed back down to a pre-set baseline.

The built-in manual dimmer dial gives you complete fan speed control, allowing you to fine-tune your baseline airflow and operational noise. This prevents your extraction system from turning off completely when temperatures drop, maintaining continuous fresh air exchanges, regulating humidity, and preserving negative pressure for effective carbon filter odour control.

Pro-Tip: Use the manual dimmer control to set a baseline fan speed of around 30–40%. This guarantees continuous background air exchange and prevents humidity spikes when your grow lights turn off, while still leaving the thermostat free to boost fan power to 100% when peak daytime heat hits.

Key Benefits:

• Heavy-Duty 1000W Load Capacity: Powerful enough to handle large commercial extraction fans or multiple smaller intake/exhaust fans on a single unit.

• Automated Thermostatic Control: Automatically increases fan speed when temperatures rise above your set target and slows down as the room cools.

• Integrated Manual Speed Dimmer: Fine-tune continuous baseline fan speeds to control air exchange, noise levels, and energy consumption.

• Preserves Constant Airflow: Keeps fresh air circulating and maintains negative pressure even when room temperatures drop below the thermostat set point.

• Plug-and-Play Simplicity: Easy to set up with standard mains sockets and a remote temperature probe for accurate ambient readings.
