Do-it-yourself fogging system: equipment selection and assembly

Can a do-it-yourself fogging system be assembled, and how much does it cost? We tried to cover this issue in detail, using available components. It should be noted right away that the prefabricated model of the fog system, of course, differs than the one designed and agreed on technical parameters from experienced designers. But with some effort, you'll end up with a pretty good do-it-yourself fogging system.

 

Do-it-yourself analogue fogging system features

Already today you can make an analogue of the FOCUS fogger with your own hands. Consider a program-controlled version of the system with an irrigation microcontroller and sensors. The system will be designed for alternate maintenance of the fogging circuits.

In other words, your mist system will control 4 nozzle circuits, cycling up to 12 times per day. The system will also work with sensors, have a delayed start and pause fog generation during rain.

As a result, you can connect not only a greenhouse to such a fogging system with your own hands, but also cooling the terrace, the pool area and watering the area where you grow vegetables.

 

What does the fog system for greenhouses and garden consist of?

A do-it-yourself fogging system for a greenhouse should include a main functional unit, which is a metal box and is designed to be installed in a cold room or technical box in the garden.

The device that generates artificial fog consists of the following components:

• fogger, which we will do with our own hands;
• mist spraying systems with nozzles.

The fogger includes:

• membrane filter for water softening;
• water pump for pressurization.

This module is usually enough to service one spray circuit.

 

What does an assembled digital fogging system consist of with your own hands

What you need to assemble the fog system:

• microcontroller for watering Hunter ELC401 for 4 circuits;
• Hunter sensors that work with the irrigation system;
• high pressure water pump for water wells;
• water treatment filter for washing machines;
• pressure gauge and security system (option);
• collector with relay;
• Low pressure nozzles for artificial fog with Gardenia hoses.

To get a working fogging system, you only need to assemble it, connect the necessary sensors and operate it on your site. You can estimate the price of a self-assembled fogging system yourself. We suggest you buy reliable fog systems FOCUS for your tasks. With its help, you can adjust the microclimate in your area.

If you want to "enhance" a homemade fog system with a solar installation and other options.
