SOBO Mist Maker

SOBO Mist Maker

SOBO Mist Maker is an ultrasonic mist maker that produces an ultra-fine mist or fog. It suits growers and hobbyists who need to raise humidity in an enclosed space, run an aeroponic-type cloner or apply foliar feeding. It also has built-in LED lights.

Key Benefits

• Uses ultrasonic atomising technology to create an ultra-fine mist or fog without actual evaporation taking place.
• Well suited to use inside an aeroponic-type cloner.
• Raises humidity in an enclosed space.
• Works for foliar feeding, as leaves absorb the minute water particles very easily.
• Switches itself into protection mode and stops operating if the top of the unit sits above the water level.
• The diaphragm can be unscrewed and replaced once it reaches the end of its lifespan.
• Includes LED lights.

How to Use

• Install the spray head flat (horizontally).
• Keep the water level 5–10 mm (0.2–0.4") higher than the top of the unit. If the Mist Maker is submerged lower than this, misting capacity is reduced.
• Do not let the top of the unit rise above the water level. The atomiser will go into protection mode and stop operating.
• Install the unit in a container large enough to catch the water splashes caused by the ultrasonic diaphragm.
• Run it in intervals rather than constantly. Ideally it should not run 24/7.
• Keep the atomising film clean and wash it often to maintain maximum fogging capacity.
• Avoid solutions with very high or very low pH values, as these can cause corrosion.

Suitable For

• Aeroponic-type cloners.
• Increasing humidity in enclosed spaces.
• Foliar feeding of plants.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the Mist Maker heat or evaporate the water?
No. It uses ultrasonic atomising technology to create an ultra-fine mist or fog without actual evaporation taking place.

How deep should the water be?
Keep the water level 5–10 mm (0.2–0.4") higher than the top of the unit, with the spray head installed flat. If the unit is submerged lower than this, misting capacity is reduced.

What happens if the water level drops?
If the top of the unit ends up above the water level, the atomiser automatically goes into protection mode and stops operating.

Can I run it 24 hours a day?
It is better not to. Ideally it should be used for intervals at a time rather than running constantly 24/7.

Can I use it for foliar feeding?
Yes. Leaves absorb the minute water particles very easily. Avoid solutions with very high or very low pH values, as these can cause corrosion.

How do I keep the fogging output strong?
Keep the atomising film clean and wash it often. If the diaphragm reaches the end of its lifespan, unscrew it and replace it.
