Ok, thanks Chris. If you can;
Try and take your fan off the filter. Turn the fan around and place it back on the filter.
This should change the direction the air will flow. You should find it begins to start sucking through the filter. Now leave your "pipe" exhausting outside of the tent. Does this make a difference?
You're welcome :)
thanks i reveresed the fan and yep its now sucking thru the filter rather than blowing and exhausting air our side of the tent thank you
New here myself, so I'm no expert, but it sounds like you're experiencing positive pressure. I suspect you're blowing air into the tent and as a result it "blows up like a balloon".
Where is the filter located, in the tent?
Can you turn the fan around that attaches to your "pipe" to reverse the direction the air is flowing?
