Thread: non working fogger help

Tweet

Hi all,

Just before Halloween I cleaned both of my foggers with vinegar/water. They were spewing just fine then both jammed up. Neither one would work after that and I was without for the big night. They still don't work and I would hate to have to pay for new ones. They worked for years before without being cleaned. Any help appreciated.

Something that may work is to pour a little fog fluid in the tank with some lime scale remover. and let it soak overnight. Then pour that solution out, and then flush it with water and try to blast the remainder out the nozzle. If it works...then you good to go.

If not, you might have to check the hose and intake pump.

Hi,

Thanks for the inf. I'll try that this weekend since it will be nice or maybe even tomorrow. I even have a bottle of clr under the counter that I haven't used.

Growler, did it work?

Sorry for the late reply. Just been busy.

I pulled out the floggers and then hunted for the clr. Coudn't find it. So I put the foggers away to wait until I got some. Well, out of site, out of mind and completely forgot about them until you sent the request. So today I ran and got some clr and used a spoon to dribble some over the outside nossels. On the 1050 chauvet it seemed to work after waiting for about a half hour. It doesn't pump it out like it use to so I'll try it again. After I had drizzled the nossle I put str8 water in it and tried flowing that out. That is how I knew it wasn't shooting it out like before so I tried some fogger juice and got the same response. The smaller one which is only a 400w freeby has a pin type long nossle with is really hard to get anything into. That one hasn't come back at all yet. They are both cooling down now so I'll try again tomorrow when it warms up a little more.

After reading some of the other tips I'm a little leary on putting the clr inside and trying shooting it out that way since there has been some real negative results such as rusting and loosing up way too much particles.
