Pump Fed Foggers Overview & Installation

Pump Fed Foggers receive ready-to-use chemical solution from a Central Chemical Feed System. Air and chemical solution flow can be activated manually or activated in multiple zones using Vision Fogger Controllers.

Pump Fed Systems require careful consideration of available utilities and on-site plumbing.

Use our Planning Tools to get started and Contact Us when you’re ready to talk.

Air-activated Zone Control Kit solenoids receive a compressed air signal from the controller to activate the flow of compressed air and chemical solution to the foggers.

When fogging is finished, a Bleed Tank Assembly keeps the air line open momentarily to clear residual chemical solution from fogger heads to prevent dripping after the solution flow is deactivated.

Pre-diluted (or ready-to-use) chemical can be pumped from any tank, or diluted on demand with a water-driven dosing proportioner (Dosatron, Mix-Rite, etc.)

Pump Fed Fogger

Pump Fed Foggers receive ready-to-use chemical solution from a central pump system. Compressed air atomizes the chemical solution and projects damp or dry chemical mist in 1, 2, 3, 4 or 8 directions.

Choose a model based on the desired coverage and compressed air availability. Contact us if you require a configuration that is not listed.

Zone Control Kit #950850

Pump Fed Fogger Zone Control Kits are used in conjunction with a PLC Vision Controller to operate Pump Fed Foggers in multiple zones.

Air-activated solenoids receive a compressed air signal from the controller (sold separately) to regulate the flow of compressed air and chemical solution to the foggers.  

The included Bleed Tank Assembly keeps the air line open momentarily to clear residual chemical solution from fogger heads to prevent dripping after the solution flow is deactivated.

Metered Bleed Assembly #950852

The Metered Bleed Assembly provides a controlled relief outlet for pressure from chemical gasses and related dripping when fogging with off-gassing chemicals (for example, peracetic acid).

Each fogger zone should be equipped with a Metered Bleed Assembly. It should be installed downstream of the in-line Pump Fed Fogger Zone Control Kit.

Chemical Dilution, Pumping, and Control Mechanisms

Chemical Source

  1. Dilute chemical on demand with a Level Master and/or pump ready-to-use chemical solution to foggers using FPS Chemical Feed System. Shown below.
  2. Dilute chemical with a water-driven dosing proportioner (Dosatron, Mix-Rite, etc.) mounted to a Dosing Panel. Shown above.

Regardless of dilution method, the typical chemical solution pressure delivered to foggers is 10-20 PSI.

Controller Type

Choose a controller based on the number of zones, desired programming ability, and maximum air CFM rating.

Pump Fed Fogger Zone Control Kits are required to receive a pilot air signal from the Controller (see Zone Control Kits above).

Multi-Zone Controllers

#950843
  • Vision PLC Controllers allow for staggered zone activation.
  • Ideal for flexible scheduling and air-conservation.

Single Zone Controllers

#950800
#950830
  • Simple timers with optional recycling and delay functions.
  • A solenoid controls airflow to activate foggers simultaneously.
  • PLC Jazz models offer more flexible programming options.

NOTE: Single zone controllers are ideal for Venturi Fogger setups where only a few foggers are involved. Multi-zone arrangements are far more common for Pump Fed Foggers.
