Possible reason for the block of atomizer

For healthy and best status of machine, please do use SHOWVEN original fog fluid.

A. Fluid spill: heat can’t effectively transmit to fog fluid, leads to insufficient atomization of the fog fluid in the heating pipe.
Possible Reason 1: Use other type of low quality fog fluid instead of SHOWVEN original fog fluid.
Possible Reason 2: Use inappropriate fog fluid. For different types of fog fluid, the atomization temperature is different.
B. Heating aluminum pipe clog: early symptom for heating aluminum pipe clog is fog fluid spill caused by insufficient atomization. Use other brand fluid or not make regular maintenance for a long time will definitely leads to pipe clog.
C. Solution for above problem: Use SHOWVEN original fog fluid. Make regular maintenance (every 1-2month). Use 35% vinegar with 65% distilled water to wash the pump and pipe system by running the machine 10-15 times.
