Frequently Asked Questions of Fog Machines & Fog Solution

Q Is fake fog safe to breathe?
A: Most fog machines use fog solutions made of a combination of water and a chemical called glycol which has been found to be safe and is not considered hazardous to humans. Fog machines and fog solutions can generally be used without problems. However, some people do complain of respiratory problems or throat irritation when exposed to theatrical fog. Because the fog can be irritating or drying, extended periods of exposure to the fog should be minimized.

• If the fog machine is used indoors you should make sure the room has adequate ventilation.

• It is a good idea not to breathe the fog for extended periods of time.

• DO NOT expose the fog at close range to know asthmatics or allergenic sensitive people.
  Q: Will fog smoke set off Smoke Detectors or Sprinkler Systems?
  A: Yes, II is possible that the water-based panicles could set off some types of smoke detectors. Usually, this is only a problem with optical-type detectors, because they sense the particles like smoke.

• Sprinkler Systems on the other hand are usually triggered by heat, so the log in the air will not activate heat-activated sprinkler systems.

• We recommend you run a test when used indoors to see if the fog will activate any smoke detectors. Also, when using the fog machine indoors, we recommend that the room have adequate ventilation.

• Also, if you spray a lot of fog in a small room, you will see a very thin film of residue on everything in the room. It may feel slightly sticky but is not harmful.
  Q: Can food coloring or scented fluids be added to the fog solution?
  A: No. Never add materials of any kind (i.e. oil, gas, perfume, food coloring) to the fog solution.
  Q: Can I use a Timer Remote Control on my Fog Machine that was made?
  A: if ours. aydoltiucaarennnt of tougsme machine? p; manufacturer’s remote on a Gemmy Fog Machine. Grammys remote control timers are wired specifically for Gemmy Fog Machines and their voltage requirements.
  Q: Can I make my own Fog Solution?
  A: No. We highly recommend against trying to make your own fog solution. The chemical content of Gemmy’s Fog Solution is designed around the specifications of the Gemmy Fog Machine. A homemade fog solution will not be safe, hazard- free, and as efficient as a commercial version. Only The Fog Machine,. brand Fog Solution or similar water-based tog liquid is recommended.
  Q: What do I do If my Fog Machine stops working?
  A: The fog machine does not have serviceable parts inside. Do not open the cover. Replace the fuse only with 4.0Amps, 125 Volts. If your machine still does not work, contact Gemmy industries at 1-800231-6879 extension 444.
  Don’t Touch! Fog Machines Get Hot.
  Always use the attached hanging bracket as a handle when carrying the fog machine. Allow the fog machine to cool down before moving or hanging. Also, do not touch the nozzle where the fog sprays out. This can become very hot. Make sure you place the fog machine in a place away from combustible materials, i.e. curtains, leaves, paper, etc.
  Check Your Level of Fog Solution.
  Be sure to periodically check the level of Fog Solution, particularly when using the Timer Control function. Fill the fog machine tank up and then check it about every half-hour. One of the main causes of a burned-out pump motor is running the machine without fog solution.
  Q: Is fog blowing directly onto Food or Pets harmful?
  A: It is not recommended that the fog from the fog machine be blown directly onto food or pets The fog spray will leave a light residue on surfaces, similar to a hot shower on a mirror. Again, use in well-ventilated areas.
  Q: How much solution will my Fog Machine use?
  A: This depends on many variables such as the volume of fog you set the machine to produce and the frequency of the sprays. In general, expect a quart of juice to last 2 to 3 hours.
  Q: Can I make the fog stay low to the ground?
  A: The fog produced by a fog machine comes out hot and naturally rises in the air. Use shorter and more frequent bursts of fog to keep the fog as low to the ground as long as possible.
  Q: Can I use water In my Fog Machine?
  A: No. Water may cause permanent damage to your Fog Machine.
