360 PVC Fogger idea

[Craven_au]

Just got this idea from a guy trying to make a Areo out of 4'' PVC tube.

But think a fogger would be better my idea is to have a 360 degree Round Circle or square pvc tube with fog being pumped a round the tube. may work what do u guys think.

It would work just fine, if everything ran smoothly.
My experience with foggers is always bad, mostly cause I buy the cheap ones that seem to break down within two months.

the problems;
-gotta spend serious cash on a good reliable fogger
-the fogger needs maintenance regularly
-the fogger can not fog every kind of nutes, expecially organic, forget about it.
-the unit should run 24/7, which adds to the power bill. on and off operations seem to kill the damn things

my experience... totally not worth it, I went back to aeroponics. I found myself watching the fogger unit every 12 hours, it became a real pain. And always got paranoid the damn thing broke down again and the plants were dying.

Dry fog won't be good for much.

Dry fog?
I don't think were talking about the same thing. Were not talking theater equipment that makes smoke.
These are units that mist the water into a "fog", like the stuff you see floating around on the side of the road on a early summer morning.

Well I know that the "ultrasonic foggers" (the shiny round hockey pucks with discs) are considered "dry fog" and not good for much else besides rooting cuts.
