I have read comments else where about adding vinegar or citric acid....any thoughts???

[ellaskins]

Not sure although vinega and citric acid are acids and may be able to help get rid of any blockages?? j

I have a new Chauvet 1700 fogger and only used it 3 or 4 times. It shoots the fog out of the nozzle but all of it is not fog some is a liquid. So it spills on the floor and there is fog liquid on the floor, which is VERY dangerous I Plan on attempting your cleaning method when i get home. Do you have any other suggestions ? Like i said its damn near brand new

[ellaskins]

this could be down to the heating element not being hot enough , and so in turn the fluid is not condensing enough. j

[MCDiscos]

I wouldn't recommend running the pump when theres no fluid in it!

[ScottishDeeJay]

Thanks for the vid, J. It's things like this that really come in useful for some of us!

[TurbulentMethods]

Ha ha ha, he's wrong when he says that if you boil the kettle and then let the water cool it's de-ionised, lol. De-ionised water is free from any metals in the water, and is the same thing you use for a car battery. A better option would be to use a Brita water filter to filter the wat if you have one.

Help how do I do it if the smoke fluid is in an inbuilt tank???!!!

[divadniboglab]

@Lokivoid Good advice, I'm a Chem E - after you run either vinegar or citric acid (do not use any stronger acids) through your unit follow it with 8oz deionized water (you can buy this from most grocers). By the way boiling water in a kettle does NOT produce deionized water - it produces boiled water that is more concentrated in dissolved salts that may end up blocking your unit - therefore do buy DI water from your grocer - it's pretty cheap.

@jearley2424

Depends on what your block is made out of, Acetic acid (vinegar) is a strong solvent when it is hot. However it has a tendency to eat away at certain metals (tin and aluminum are vulnerable to it). Vinegar will do a good job at cleaning a machine but i wouldnt suggest using it offten. I also suggest running about 8oz of distilled water after using vinegar.

hey man i have just bought a 20 dollar smoke macine from a pawn broker it said on it pipes need cleaning but i have just run a whole tank full of water and vinegar and it still has that sound like it has nothing to pump through any suggestions

[AmexCafe]

Thank you. It did work.

[pumpkinman3211]

i have right now 3 machine that i use for every Halloween and i have never cleaned them am i doing anything wrong to the machine and i have a machine that i bought and i dosn't put out fog why

[lemans24fan]

@opmdevil they also have scents you can get for them too. thats probably what you smell. because regular fog dosent have much of a smell.

[MrFaMoUsKiD13]
