Misters for Fountains and Ponds Help Create Unique Ambiance

Foggers or misters as they are also called, create a fog effect without the need of dry ice.

These great little machines employ high frequency, ultrasonic vibrations to produce ultra-fine droplets of mist without the use of heat, cold, or chemicals. Foggers can be purchased as a single unit, or as a float with up to 9 units that work together. Single units are perfect for small fountains but are usually too small to use for a pond.

Ultrasonic misters produce a low laying fog, which fills its surrounding area. Small ponds generally require a 3 to 9-piece mister to produce the same effect. In addition, misters require a minimal water depth in order to operate efficiently, because of this, when placing one in a pond ensure that you use a float with it.
With a float, the mister is made to fit to right depth so that it produces fog at optimum levels. Some fog machines include LED lights to and most includes an automatically shutoff so that if the water gets too low, the mister will shutoff.

Maintenance:

Every mechanical object requires maintenance and fountain mister are no different. The first step is to replace the water frequently to prevent scale from forming on the disk membrane, which will affect performance. If scale does form on the disk, use a soft cloth or cotton swab to clean the surface of the disk do not use cleaners or detergents for this will harm the disc. Replace the disk after you have operated your mister for approximately 3000 hours. When replacing your disc, it is not necessary to use the special tool many companies offer for an additional price, a flat head screwdriver will work as well. Replacement disks come in two common sizes, 16mm, and 20mm. Ensure that you purchase the correct size for your fogger by measuring the disc. If your mister has LED lights, they will generally last up between 80 to 100,000 hours. For misters that include water level sensors, this sensor needs cleaning approximately once a year, to do so follow the manufacturer's instructions.

When misters first appeared on the market, they usually didn't work well. Today, misters have been improved so that they now last for years, especially when proper maintenance has been preformed. To find more information about fountain misters or foggers there are several online retailers available.
