Yes you want to leave fog fluid in the system but not the reservoir and before it's next use flush it out with vinegar and water but use only distiled water. any thing else will cause harm and leave deposits in the machine .and never use scented fog fluid either!
here is the actual process it can be found in any chauvet fog machines users manual
Cleaning your fog machine regularly will help reduce costly parts replacement and repair charges.
After every 40 hours of continuous operation or when the machine will be idle for a long time it is recommended
to run a cleaning solution composed of 80% distilled water and 20% white vinegar through the system to prevent the accumulation of particles in the heating element.
1. While unit is unplugged and cool, unscrew nozzle at very front of unit (fig.1) and clean out debris with white vinegar and a pipe cleaner, making sure that the hole is free and unobstructed.
2. Empty all fog fluid from the machine and replace with cleaning solution in the tank. Plug unit in and allow to warm as usual.
3. Run unit in a well ventilated area until tank is empty.
4. Replace nozzle.
5. Cleaning is now complete. Unplug and refill with a quality water based fog fluid once cool.
All fog machines are prone to clogging due to the consistency of fog fluid and the high temperatures at which it vaporizes. However a well maintained machine should provide years of reliable use.
The body of the unit may be cleaned with a dry cloth. Store dry.
