Talk:Ultrasonic hydroponic fogger
 | This article is rated Stub-class on Wikipedia's content assessment scale. |
I added the notability tag, since the description is unhelpful and inaccurate, and only a single reference to an obscure book was used. Also, why is the article titled as "ultrasonic" if the described device doesn't use sound in any way? Ceran (talk) 15:25, 4 July 2008 (UTC)
- It does use sound, it vibrates a membrane at an ultrasonic frequency (i.e. humans can't hear it) and thus causes water vapor to form. However, there appear to be problems with nutrient salt buildup on the membrane and I don't think it's used that often in hydroponics. 91.179.126.74 (talk) 19:59, 29 December 2009 (UTC)
"An ultrasonic fogger is not an aeroponic mister. These are often confused. While foggers ultrasonically create fog (also used in hydroponics to raise humidity), the aeroponic mister atomizes water into a nutrient-rich mist by either dripping the water on to a spinning plate or a by using special gardening tip on a pvc tube. The mist is 100% oxygen rich along with the benefits of maintaining 100% humidity, providing the entire plant system with an aerated (hence "aero" ponic) root medium. This technique speeds growth significantly. It also assists with nutrient absorption. bi-.dcj"
This paragraph begins by stating that this is not an aeroponic mister. Then it states that a mister is nutrient-rich. It's unclear what product the next sentence is about (more mister stuff?) -- if the rest of the paragarph is about misters and not foggers, then this paragraph is clearly on the wrong page (as misters are not foggers).
My next note, I came looking for how ultrasonic foggers worked - the actual form & function, perhaps along with information about what sizes they can be obtained in, what sort of measurements dictate how they're discussed (volume of mist? horse power? electricity consumption? frequency of some kind?). It's these types of info that wikis are for. I'd add them myself, but I have no idea -- 21 September 2012 — Preceding unsigned comment added by 184.185.209.102 (talk) 20:46, 21 September 2012 (UTC)
