Modifying a compact fog machine – pumping fluid 5–6 meters vertically?
Hi everyone,
I’m planning to modify a small/compact fog machine (ideally one without an internal tank) to pump fog fluid from an external container located about 5–6 meters below the machine.
The idea is to install the fog machine up high in a sculpture, while keeping the fluid tank on the ground (for refill and weight)
I’m wondering if anyone has experience with something like this. Specifically:
- What kind of pump would work reliably with fog fluid?
- Would vertical distance cause any issues with pressure, flow rate, or preheating?
- Are there specific fog machine models that are easier to modify for this setup?
Any advice, tips, or links to similar projects would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance
