Thread: Auto refill for fog machine

Tweet

I'm wondering if anyone ever tried the old fashioned siphon thing, where you set a gallon of juice elevated next to the fog machine with a tube and run it into the well of the fog machine to keep the juice level up when it starts to run low. It would probably need some modification of the fog machine cap- like a hole to accept the tube. Is something so basic not doable? Sure would help out this year with multiple foggers. Thanks for any advice.

I do believe that what you just described is exactly how the pro-haunts do it. Heck, I've seen 5-gallon buckets next to the fogger at the theme park by me.

For sure those with the tube that comes out the housing from the pump into the bottle lid would work. I plan on doing this with aquarium tubing... hadn't thought before about a siphon for the in-machine supply line (duh). Thanks!

seems like it would be easier to just extend the main fluid tube right into a gal bottle of juice?

For the out of machine supply yeah. I have 3 and two of them the supply is inside the machine plugged into the bottom of the tank. Seems a whole lot easier to siphon into the top of the tank cap then to remove the housing.

I did this and it worked great. I had a tiny little fog machine in a coffin prop that barely had a tank so I put a gallon jug next to it and ran a tube from one to the other I made sure it was air tight and it ran as long as needed.
