Thread: Fogger opinions ?

Tweet

I have a F-1250 that hasn't yet given me any problems. I did get a tip clog once, but a needle fixed that in 2 seconds. Most of the issues I've heard about the 1250 have to do with out-of-box failures; fogger doesn't work, makes lots of noise etc. I once called Chauvet regarding a replacement pump - they get about $90 for it.
As far as fog juice goes, I like the Froggy's Swamp Juice. Wish the shipping wasn't so high, though.
BTW, I have one of those old Lite/FX 700 watt foggers (model 1741), and yeah, it's a workhorse. I broke the pump once but was able to repair it successfully. I see them on Ebay once in a while, but never with the timer remote.

Thanks for all the feedback so far. I've been looking around a bit and it seems as though the Chauvet or the VEI would serve my needs as a ground fogger for my yard. I am also making a point of buying some good juice this year too. I do believe that the juice will make a dramatic difference. Up until now I have always used whatever Big Box store juice I grabbed up locally. Even between brands of that I have noticed a big difference in performance.

Otaku, I am using a wired Timer/Controller I got at Walmart on my Lite F/X and it works great. Can't remember the name, but came in a green box and Walmart has had the same ones the last 3 years.

Cool. Is your Lite/FX a model 1741? The original timers for those are very hard to find.

This is the one I have. It is a 700 watt, not 100% sure of the model number. Will have to go home and dig it out and check.



I think this is the timer I am using here....
