Fogger tube modification

[Faithan84]

I would first try to change the layout to a vertical up from the reservoir, the turn at the top of the cage. That will reduce one 90 elbow. 90''s are flow killers
If you could go with a larger pipe it would help too

So either not a strong enough fogger and too much line for it to run. OR Fogging lines like this can back up on themselves as well. Drilling holes straight down and then placing directly on the screen can cause a buildup of water backing up the line so nothing will blow out it. It may look like it is working well the first hour but as the moisture builds up the less gets through until nothing does. I started with this method and then got annoyed and switched to using T and L connectors for it to come out raised off the screen at an angle. Works much better for me and my lines are able to dry out. Less stress on mold or mildew growth since they can fully air out. I am able to take all my pieces off once a month to thoroughly clean this way as well. And Beman says hi He thought he was getting a snack.

Guessing the holes aren’t big enough and maybe not enough. Also I went from bigger holes at the end to smaller towards the fogger, to buildup “pressure”.
It looks like the same fogger I use and that would do the trick, use it with flow rate 2.
Did you drilled the top cap? And placed the inside the top cap or did you slide the tube over the connection point of the top cap. This could cause the reduced flow and water buildup underneath the fogger.

Thanks for the tips! Luckily, PVC is the cheapest part of this mess. Lots of room for error!

@Sonny13 I placed it on the original connection point. I had to wrap rubber bands around it to prevent fog coming out at the connection.

Thank you!

That will be your problem. There’s your flow restriction.

Hi there! I tried to set up something similar and I'm having issues. It's not using as much water as the original tube, the fog is only coming out of one of the holes I drilled, and I've found water under the fogger in the morning. What did I do wrong and what can I do to fix it?

Yep.
Raise the fogger up higher.
The mist is gathering on the walls of the pipes and running back down.
One of my foggers are placed ON TOP of 2 cages on a stand. The other one sits on top of a cement block laying on its side

As I was bothered with the original tubing of the fogger and was thinking about how to modify it. Becoming more efficient and bacterial proof. I came with the one piece 1.25' PVC tubing. Nothing new off-course, however the mounting will be. Now from the lid till the end cap, it's all 1.25 tubing. And fully demountable for cleaning. Tubing goes across the top screen and has several holes drilled in, for an nice spread of fog through the enclosure. Also hated the pinpoint position of the fog and now its divided throughout the enclosure.

Used:
2 x 2,38 foot PVC tubes 1,25'
3 x extension sleeves
1x treated end cap
1 x adjustable 45 dgr. elbow

Hopefully it's useful to someone, because I now a lot of people here are using the same fogger.

What brand of fogger is this I really like how you did it.

You can find it on Amazon and is sold under a few brand names.
