Is anyone using this FFU from Terra Universal?
https://www.terrauniversal.com/fan-filter-unit-whisperflow-hepa-powder-coated-steel-6601-24-h-nc.html
I'm hoping to get this $948 unit without a power cord, then solder/splice one in myself.
It looks like the same one some shops have rebranded with their own logo. It would be cool to get something US made with a warranty. I'm just wondering if anyone has one and has completed the wiring.

Thanks! Is there anything superior about the Mac 10 or are people just finding good deals for used models on Ebay?

I'd like to get a new unit for under $500. Starting to see tears in my filter on my flowhood.
I'm also boycotting Amazon because fuck billionaires arguing in court that collective bargaining is unconstitutional.
Any recommendations for someone in the states? The unit I had been eye banging was on Amazon, so now I'm back to shopping.

You’ll just end up buying it from some other rich dude I’d just grab the one off the zon.
… then boycott.

I might end up doing that. I'm going to watch eBay for a bit and see if I can find anything first.
edit: I found this model on eBay open box.
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B095W35NM3?tag=gistpr-20&linkCode=ogi&th=1&psc=1
Looks like I'll need a 110v power supply (my gf can help me figure that part out).
It also looks unbranded which I don't know how I feel about as I can't dig deeper into unit reviews.
edit 2: My other thought is this one.

So the vertical flow cabinets on eBay are quite a bit cheaper than the horizontal ones.
But I could just not add the cabinet pieces and repurpose them if I want to run them horizontal yeah?

Got a link? But yeah that matches my research. Just make sure they're .3 micron, I saw a bunch that were .5, not what you want.

Yeah, I double-checked that one I was looking at, and it's 0.5. I think the 99.99 threw me off. I had been looking for 0.3.
There's some rated 0.5 that are even marked for mycology

Yeah I got frustrated looking for one that was reasonable. None of them had prefilters and were all 0.5. I ended up spending way more to get a Clean Rooms International SAM MS 24. It's the equivalent of an Envirco Mac10. Not recommending that you go that way either, just where I ended up. Have you looked on AliExpress?

If you go through Meyers Mushrooms you might not be directly supporting Amazon

I bought my filter replacement from them. Free shipping was great but the entire unit was going to be something like 700 just for freight.
Useful context is I'm in Canada on the other side of the continent.

I think for anything domestic they will direct ship you a 2x4 hood but I believe anything bigger you need to get a quote for freight and other BS. I have never bought a hood from them so take my word with a bag full of salt.

Pretty much going to need freight anywhere from them unless you're local. If you're in Colorado I know a few local vendors.

For the product they're selling, it's a decent price in my opinion. I got a used filter unit off eBay in the end, plus a replacement filter. Had to carefully attach it with sheet metal screws.

I was under the impression that larger products were to be delivered by freight train because it asked for a gate or a gate code from what I remember. I haven't looked into their site for 4+ years

It's for product safety. It'll be on a pallet, which you'll have to pay to have fork-lifted off. Would have ran me about $350 for the shipping -- but it's rather protected. Straps, corner protection, etc...on it's own pallet... . If you can afford it I think you'll be happy.

Not recently.
I'll probably just grab a 2x2 for now and get a second one if I end up wanting more space.
My budget is fairly limited rn.

After a long break in the hobby, I was so excited to return to it with affordable FFUs breaking the scene.
Got this 3'x2' Bonsai badboy from Midwest Grow Kits... aaaaand it's DOA.

Seems like a lot of USA companies are just buying the cheap Chinese stuff and rebranding it. Everything is in Mandarin when I open the unit up.
