I have a ground fogger (it doesn't have a brand name anywhere on it, it only says "ground fogger" on the side) that needs some TLC.
When I pulled it off the shelf, I realized there was still juice in the bottle (it wasn't me, I swear!) so I emptied it out and put some water in it to steam it clean. At first, it worked great - the extra juice in the lines went straight through and I got some residual fog. But a few seconds later (not long enough for the water to get to the heating unit) it stopped making the loud, obnoxious groan that it's supposed to make and instead started making a muffled, less obnoxious groan. And zero smoke.
A bigger problem is that over the last few days bubbles have formed in the small tube that feeds the juice into the machine itself (and as anyone can tell you, a hose with bubbles means no vacuum and no fluid movement). Thus, the water and vinegar trick won't do squat.
I'll do the best I can to remove the bubbles and get some movement back in these lines. But until then, anyone have any suggestions on how to resolve this issue?
