ULV17 Fogger - What Chemicals Can and Cannot Be Used

Applies to: ULV17 Cold Fogger and similar ULV (Ultra Low Volume) fogger units sold by The Fountainhead Group

What causes this: Customers frequently ask which chemicals are safe to use with the ULV17 fogger. The fogger is designed for water-based and water-soluble disinfectants, sanitizers, insecticides, and deodorizers. Using the wrong chemical type can damage the pump and seals, void the warranty, and create a safety hazard.

How to fix it:

1. Use only water-based or water-soluble products labeled by the chemical manufacturer as compatible with cold ULV foggers.
2. Do NOT use oil-based products in the ULV17 fogger. Oil-based chemicals can damage the pump seals and motor and create a fire hazard near electrical components.
3. Do NOT use flammable solvents, gasoline, alcohol-based products above the percentage rated for cold foggers, or aerosol propellants.
4. Always check the chemical's Safety Data Sheet (SDS) to confirm fogger compatibility before use.
5. Always wear appropriate PPE (goggles, gloves, mask, protective clothing) as recommended by the chemical manufacturer.
6. Clean the fogger with clean water after every use. Residue from one chemical can react with the next chemical you use.
7. If you are unsure whether a specific product is compatible, call us at 1-800-311-9903 before using it. Using an incompatible chemical voids the warranty.
