What is AC Infinity and Why is it the Choice for Growers?

When it comes to managing your grow room environment, AC Infinity stands apart from the competition. Originating in California, this brand has quickly become a global leader by focusing on one core idea: creating smart, integrated systems that give you total control. They engineer complete environmental solutions, not just standalone fans or filters. Their products are designed to master the specific challenges found in enclosed spaces like grow tents for indoor cultivation, delivering professional-grade results with a reputation for quality and quiet operation.

Beyond the Basics: Not Just Another Grow Gear Brand

The difference is clear in the build quality. AC Infinity uses premium materials like robust steel housings and IP44-rated components designed for longevity in humid environments. At the heart of their fans are cutting-edge EC motors. This technology means you get powerful, precise airflow without the high electricity bills and disruptive noise associated with older AC motors. It’s a commitment to intelligent, efficient design that puts the user’s results and experience first.

The Core Advantage: The UIS™ Smart Ecosystem

The brand's key advantage is the UIS™ (Universal Infinity System) platform. This is the central nervous system of your grow room, designed to eliminate complexity and give you ultimate control. Instead of juggling separate timers and thermostats, all your UIS-compatible equipment plugs into a single smart controller.

• One Controller: Manage your extractor fans, circulation fans, and even grow lights from one central hub.
• Total Automation: Set dynamic triggers based on temperature and humidity to automate your entire environment.
• Eliminate Clutter: Say goodbye to a mess of power strips, timers, and conflicting controllers.
• Precision Control: Dial in your exact environmental parameters for optimal plant growth and higher yields.

This unified approach allows for precise, automated environmental control, ensuring your plants get exactly what they need, 24/7. It simplifies your setup and eliminates equipment conflicts for maximum efficiency.

The Brains: A Deep Dive into the AC Infinity UIS™ Controllers

A fan is just a fan until you connect it to a brain. The UIS™ Controller is the heart of the entire ac infinity ecosystem. It’s not just a power source; it’s a central command unit that connects, powers, and automates your fans, lights, and other climate equipment, transforming them from standalone devices into a single, intelligent system.

The controller uses its waterproof sensor probe to constantly monitor your grow space. Based on this live data, you can set dynamic programs that react instantly to environmental changes. Instead of running your fan 24/7, you can trigger it to activate only when temperature or humidity exceeds your setpoint. For advanced growers, you can even program triggers based on Vapour Pressure Deficit (VPD) to optimise plant transpiration and nutrient uptake. This level of precision is fundamental to the principles of modern indoor cultivation, a field advanced by institutions like the Controlled Environment Agriculture Center, ensuring your plants are always in their growth sweet spot. This automation saves time, reduces energy costs, and delivers healthier, more consistent results.

Controller 69 PRO: The Ultimate Command Centre

For the grower who needs total control, the Controller 69 PRO is the top-tier choice. It features WiFi connectivity, allowing you to monitor and adjust your environment from anywhere using the AC Infinity app. Set automations, receive alarms on your phone, and view historical data graphs to fine-tune your grow. It can independently control up to four different UIS devices, making it the perfect command centre for multi-tent or complex single-tent setups.

Controller 67: Smart, Simple Control

If you need straightforward automation without the complexity, the Controller 67 is the ideal solution. It uses Bluetooth for direct app control when you're near your tent. Perfect for a standard setup with a single inline fan and light, it provides all the core programming you need: temperature and humidity triggers, timers, and scheduling. It’s a simple, cost-effective way to get the core benefits of the UIS platform.

What Can You Connect to the UIS™ Platform?

The UIS ecosystem is constantly expanding to give you full environmental control. All devices connect with a single cable for power and data. Compatible equipment includes:

• CLOUDLINE Series Inline Duct Fans
• CLOUDRAY Clip-on Circulation Fans
• IONBOARD & IONGRID LED Grow Lights
• CLOUDFORGE Humidifiers and other climate devices

You can even integrate grow lights from other brands using a simple lighting adapter, making the UIS platform incredibly versatile.

Mastering Airflow: AC Infinity Fans and Ventilation

You can invest in the best lights and nutrients, but without total control over your environment's airflow, your plants will struggle. Proper ventilation is critical for exchanging stale, CO2-depleted air with fresh air, managing heat and humidity, and preventing pests and mould. In controlled systems, where every input matters, mastering airflow is a fundamental step, as detailed in this university guide to growing food without soil. This is where the ac infinity ecosystem excels, providing a complete, automated solution for perfect environmental control.

CLOUDLINE Inline Duct Fans: The Quiet Powerhouses

The CLOUDLINE series has rightfully earned its reputation as the industry standard for inline duct fans. Engineered for performance and discretion, these fans are the heart of any serious ventilation system. They are powered by long-life EC motors, making them not only incredibly energy-efficient but also whisper-quiet, even at high speeds. Their core features deliver professional-grade results for any size setup.

• Mixed Flow Design: Delivers high static pressure, ensuring powerful airflow even when connected to long ducting or a carbon filter.
• IP44 Rated: Built to withstand the high humidity and dusty conditions of a grow environment.

• UIS™ Integration: Connects directly to smart controllers for fully automated speed control based on temperature and humidity triggers.

Carbon Filters: Keeping Your Grow Discreet

Managing odours is essential for any indoor garden. AC Infinity’s carbon filters are designed to work in perfect harmony with CLOUDLINE fans. Packed with premium Australian virgin charcoal, they effectively trap and neutralise organic odours before they can escape. The design maximises airflow while minimising the pressure drop, so your fan doesn't have to work overtime. Pairing a CLOUDLINE fan with an AC Infinity carbon filter creates a seamless and highly effective air extraction and purification kit.

CLOUDRAY Oscillating Clip Fans: The Perfect Breeze

Air extraction is only half the battle; internal air circulation is just as vital. Stagnant air pockets can lead to weak stems and invite mould. The CLOUDRAY series of oscillating clip-on fans provides the gentle, consistent breeze your plants need to develop strong, robust stalks. With multiple speed settings, automatic oscillation, and the ability to plug directly into the UIS™ ecosystem for smart control, they are the ideal solution for mimicking a natural outdoor environment.

To fully optimise airflow, you need a superior foundation. This starts with the CLOUDLAB series of grow tents and the high-efficiency IONGRID and IONFRAME LED lights, designed to work together seamlessly for maximum yield and minimum hassle.

CLOUDLAB Grow Tents: Strength and Durability

A grow tent is more than just a shell; it's the core of your environment. CLOUDLAB tents are engineered for performance and longevity, providing a stable and secure space for your plants.

AC Infinity: Frequently Asked Questions

Is AC Infinity a good brand for beginners?

Yes, AC Infinity is an excellent choice for beginners. Their systems are designed for easy setup with a simple plug-and-play approach. The smart controllers, in particular, remove the guesswork from environment management by automatically adjusting fan speed based on your temperature and humidity settings. This automation simplifies a critical aspect of indoor growing, allowing new growers to achieve consistent, professional-grade results without a steep learning curve or constant adjustments.

Can I use an AC Infinity fan without one of their smart controllers?

Absolutely. You can plug any CLOUDLINE fan directly into a standard UK wall socket, where it will run continuously at 100% power. However, you will lose all speed control and environmental automation. Using a smart controller like the CONTROLLER 67 or 69 PRO allows you to fine-tune airflow, reduce noise, and save on electricity costs by only running the fan as fast as needed to maintain your target climate.

What is the main difference between the Controller 67 and the Controller 69 PRO?

The key difference is connectivity and device expansion. The Controller 67 is a Bluetooth-only device, meaning you must be physically near your tent to make adjustments via the app. The Controller 69 PRO adds Wi-Fi, allowing you to monitor and control your setup from anywhere in the world. The 69 PRO can also manage a wider ecosystem of devices simultaneously, including lights from other brands via an adapter, making it a complete grow room hub.

Are all AC Infinity products compatible with the UK power supply?

Yes, all official stock sold by authorised UK retailers like Discount Hydro is fully compatible with the UK power supply. Every unit comes fitted with a standard 3-pin UK plug and is rated for our 230V/50Hz electrical system. We strongly advise against importing products from the US or other regions, as they will have the wrong plug and voltage, making them incompatible and potentially unsafe to use without a step-down transformer.

What size CLOUDLINE fan do I need for my grow tent?

To find the right size, first calculate your tent's volume in cubic feet (Length x Width x Height). This number is the minimum CFM (Cubic Feet per Minute) rating you need to exchange the air in the tent once per minute. For example, a 4ft x 4ft x 6.5ft tent has a volume of 104 cubic feet, so you need a fan rated for at least 104 CFM. Always choose a fan with a slightly higher CFM rating to account for efficiency loss from carbon filters and ducting.

How does the warranty work when buying AC Infinity from a UK retailer like Discount Hydro?

When you buy AC Infinity equipment from an authorised UK dealer like us, you receive the full manufacturer's warranty, which is typically two years. If you encounter any issues, your warranty claim is handled directly by us. This simplifies the entire process, as you avoid dealing with international contacts or shipping. Just get in touch with our customer service team, and we will manage the repair or replacement for you, ensuring a fast and hassle-free resolution.

Can I connect other brands of lights to an AC Infinity controller?

Yes, you can integrate many third-party LED grow lights with an AC Infinity controller, provided they use standard PWM or 0-10V dimming signals. To do this, you will need to purchase the correct light adapter cable from AC Infinity. The Type-A adapter is for lights with an L-type (push-lock) connector, while the Type-B adapter is for lights that use an RJ11 or RJ12 port. This lets you unify your lighting control within the UIS ecosystem.
