Reply to "whats wrong with my fogger?"

What do you mean by "high end"?

For what I paid for my Fog Storm 700's(less than $100 each), and the FS700 that came in the $150-retailing American DJ Dynamic Party Pack, and for what I do with them, it's one hell of a bargain.

First, I agree with Jingles that it could be a result of mixing fluid. It is also entirely true that the new fluid just isn't compatible with the fogger. Honestly, any formulations should work, but even so, there's a reason for different formulations. It's often necessary to keep some extra "in stock" so you don't run out.

3 times a week, you're using your fogger rather heavily. That's not a bad thing. I think you need to drain the tank, take it apart and examine the intake and see that it's not clogged. You might need to take a toothpick and/or a kebab skewer to clean it out the tubing thoroughly, and let it dry fully before replacing it. It could also be the filter on the head(reminds me of an aquarium airstone) might be what's actually clogged up, so it may need to be replaced.

Since you've got it all taken apart and drained, run a cleaning solution through it.

I think that's all you need to do for now. You'll of course have some initial issues with the fogger becaue you'll need to prime it again(having it pull fluid back in from am empty tube), but other than that, there shouldn't be a problem, The pump is designed to handle short periods without fluid for that very purpose.

ALSO, make sure the intake is in fact IN the fluid. For the show I work on, I own the ground fogger and hazer, but the producer owns a cheap DMX fogger. Getting the intake at the bottom can sometimes be a chore.

At the same time, I'm not opposed to checking out Antari foggers. If you need a dealer, contact me off-line via my web form on my web site and I'll forward you my prefered dealer.

I'm personally debating getting an AccuFog 1000 right now as I need the variable directional output. It's a matter of pricing and budget.
