you're telling me you want me to go over to fungi perfecti's website. find the filter you're talking about look up it's specs go to the blower motor page look it up and then see if it's compatible?
sounds like someone doesn't need a flow hood. if you can't build it you don't need it. if you can't figure it out you don't need it.
build a SAB.
a lot of money to spend on something you don't know about, or how it works... if you're not doing hundreds of jars of spawn a week or bags, a hood is pointless for you.
inb4 I'm mean, and that's not what you asked.

Totally agree. I mean I don't do hundreds of G2G a week but I used to. But I did pour about 40 plates this weekend .....So I guess I'm gonna be doing a lot of G2G soon. .

I do 60 plates in my 110q sab with three media bottles of agar in one sitting. And wrap them all.

Just have to be a + - × ÷ pro.
Cfms can't come in any other form. Theyre cubic feet per minute. It would be cubic meters per minute or cubic feet per second if it was in a different form

You can buy the FP series one (the flowhood you're trying to build) completed for a couple hundred extra bucks. It's a nice hobbyist flowhood, have had one for several years that's out on loan touring the country now. That size filter is difficult to work with spawn bags in front of, so keep that in mind if that's something you're interested in.
If you want to build it yourself what you need is the Dayton 549CFM @ free flow. Here are the specs and model number:

Stamets sells the blower on his website as well if you want to source it there and combine shipping.
@bod, don't be turning people off of flowhoods man, if you ever worked infront of one you would never use a SAB again bro... 
There's nothing wrong with not building your own either... Many respected cultivators here have used lab flowhoods from craigies or eBay. I've built 2 and bought that FP1 myself even after I built my first one. No shame in it!

I've worked in labs before. That's why I know they're largely useless for the home cultivator. The lab at linenkugles has a flow wall 4'x16'
My real job is working with yeast.

Shit I would take my plates to work then 
Seriously though, useless? C'mon man now you're just talking shit... 
It's the proper piece of equipment for doing any plate work and inoculations outside of the ghetto-tek Shroomery wisdom.
Even if the OP just a hobbyist, what makes you think you can tell him he shouldn't have a flowhood? What if he just wants to be comfortable while he does his work? Or maybe convenience and saving time is his goal. Who knows? It's none of our business really.
Just don't think you should ever turn anyone away from diving deeper into mycology, that's all.

Not useless i should not have said that. But I still stand by the fact that for 97/100 people the money would be better spent cultivating rather than trying to bling out.
Same thing happens in home brewing. People need a fancy lauter tun for their homebrew. Next they need automation, next they need a plate chiller rather than a heat exchanger.
And I make beer that gets more awards using brew in a bag... Sure Ive made 2600 gallons every day of work before on a bling ass setup. But when it comes to being at home my money is better spent keeping my kegerator full than it is on stainless shit.
Same goes for a hood. I personally think a hood has no business being in a carpeted room. If you have one at home it should be in a room with all 6 surfaces from floor to ceiling in a gloss finish that can be wiped/mopped.
Where a SAB can be used in a living room next to a cat litter box with the same ability for success.
If I ever start a mushroom farm im not going to have a SAB. But im more of a realist and everyone I've seen with a hood could have got away with a 14$ box

to answer your question, the answer is no the 1tdr9 blower is too weak to deliver the air flow at the given static drop of the filter. the recommended blower produces 360cfm @.8"w.c.

Don't get me wrong I see where you're coming from 
I just feel like people can spend their money however they want to... Call me a capitalist lol.
Realistically though 1 good tub can pay for a 12x24. That's why I don't understand why more people don't have them. The freedom of movement alone is worth every penny I'm my eyes

I would never feel right not running it for an hour before working. And with a hood hygiene teeth brushing gloves sleeves and a shower beforehand start to be important.
With a sab half the time I only use gloves the other half I don't use gloves at all.
That's freedom to me
And freedom on my electric bill.

1/10 HP motor @ < 2 amps probably costs as much to run as your cell phone charger lol.
I do run them for an hour before going to work, but hey that's when you guys see me on the Shroomery 
Anyways have a good night guys! Hope you got the answer you were looking for spore-ty. To be sure the blower in your OP is not what you want.
