I hope some of you will find this helpful and/or get answers to your questions about ultrasonic fog humidifiers. After waiting for some to be in stock for some time, and after using my girlfriends, I picked mine up yesterday and I can comfortably say that it is a GREAT product in my opinion. Though best results work in only certain conditions, there are cons to it as well. Below I will post my views and opinions in pro and con form, and hopefully you guys can find this usefull
CONS:
- must be maintained regularly, due to condensation in the hose, bottle and resevoir, mold and bacteria growth are easy to become problems and risks. If using distilled or R.O water, a cleaning every week or two in white vinegar and hot water would be fine. i treat the reptifog like my mistking. Clean water and clean water only.
- Doesn't do too too much in large screen cages
- Ultrasonic fogger needs to be replaced due to wear and tear (like anything else)
PROS:
-achieves any level of humidity in glass tanks and enclosures without making everything sopping wet like misting. creates high humidity, but allows a sufficient "dry-out" to happen
-enables amphibians and high humidity loving reptiles more active and comfortable.
- no risk of burns like the fogger discs have
- water supply lasts very long
- has automatic shut off when out of water
- can be modified with PVC piping and valves to run multiple cages
- easy to use, and wide range of output through switch.
this is just my opinion guys, so take it for what it is. i'd love to hear other reviews and tips as well
