Pond foggers

Pond foggers, pond misters, call them what you will, they all work on the same principal, in that a small disc is vibrated at ultrasonic speed, this in turn atomises the water creating the mist.

I thought it may be an idea to see what they can or can not do.

They come in a variety of sizes, some low profile, some with led lights, some with several led lights that change colour some with separate lamps, some with 1 disc, some with 3, 5 or 7 discs.

Its the bigger ones i am going to mention here. The single disc ones are ideal for an indoor feature, the multi disc ones are meant for use outside as they produce lots of mist, so they are very good or are they?

They are relatively easy to install, you just place the mister in your pond just below the water surface, plug in the power supply switch on and away they go, pond covered in mist.

  Here is a 3 disc mister working, lots of mist
     

  Now here is the reality. This is the same 3 disc mister in a pond.

You will notice the quantities of mist are very different, I did not cheat in any way with the pictures. The reason for the great deal of difference is simple, the top picture the mister is in a tank. The bottom picture the mister is in a new (clear water then) Pool. But you will see the mist is towards the bottom of the picture, this is because a gentle wind is blowing the mist, where a in a tank there is no wind at all. So if you want to have lots of mist on your pond, i suggest you use several 5 or 7 or bigger misters placed in several locations around your pond, but be prepared to dig deep into your pocket the 9 disc mister costs around £140 each

Unless of course your pond is in a sunken garden with no breeze. Why not send me a picture of your mister in your pond?

Do not forget you can not use a mister in a pond that has wildlife or fish
