Frequently
Asked Questions
1. Does the Aquafog Turbo XE produce a mist or a fog?
These systems are certainly considered to be true fogging machines. Particles over 50 micons have a tendency to settle out of the air as mist. Aquafogs use centrifugal force to atomize liquid into ultra-fine particles averaging 25 micons in size. Systems are equipped with a flow control valve for adjustment of fog output. This feature also allows the operator to reduce particle size even further if desired.
2. How much water pressure do I need?
Aquafog units do not require any high pressure pumps. An ordinary water supply is more than adequate and pressure can be as low as 5 psi. Units can also be gravity fed for occasional application of chemicals.
3. Will the Aquafog units be reliable using my water supply?
Aquafog units are a self-flushing and nozzle-free system that does not require small orifices to produce a high quality fog. In most cases no filtration is necessary. In fact, Aquafog units can accept ordinary water supplies, such as city, well and even pond water without incurring any clogs. Even well water supplies with high concentrations of calcium rarely present clogging problems.
4. What is the difference between the Aquafog Turbo XE Fans and the RSMs?
The hanging fan units cover the widest range of applications and can fulfill most customers' needs. The Aquafog RSM line is more specifically designed for certain applications.
5. Can I install this unit myself?
In most cases, yes with the availability of common hand tools and basic mechanical knowledge. Aquafog Turbo XE units are designed and packaged with consumer installation in mind.
6. What do I need for a complete system?
For manual operation, a P-1 Watertight Plug and a W-1 Water Hose Connector are recommended to complete a fan installation. A variety of control packages are available to fully automate systems, depending on individual needs. Units can also be adapted to computerized controls with the addition of electrical relays for power and water supplies.
7. Do you have any experience shipping overseas?
Yes, currently 40% of our sales are exports. Jaybird has been exporting equipment for over 20 years and has acquired the specialized knowledge needed to ensure efficient service and prompt delivery for our overseas customers.
8. How long would it take to have my order shipped?
Generally, orders are shipped quickly within 24 hours. Large or customized orders may require a few additional days. Fan units can be shipped by UPS and RSMs are shipped using common carrier. Overseas orders are normally shipped by air.
9. Is there a warranty on the unit?
All of our fogging units and accessories are covered by a one-year limited warranty.
