INSTRUCTIONS FOR SAFE AND EFFECTIVE FOGGING
1. Remove people from room to be fogged excluding the user who is wearing appropriate PPE.
See table on page 3 for details on when PPE is required.
2. For users with very sensitive skin it may be advisable to wear gloves. For users with asthma
or other breathing issues, we recommend always wearing PPE when fogging.
3. Fill Electrox fogging machine with Electrox Sterilising Water (see concentrations on page 1).
4. Before starting the fogger make sure the throttle valve (brass screw located on the front of
the reservoir) is fully open by turning it anti-clockwise.
5. Turn on the fogger with the nozzle pointing upwards and into a clear open space. As soon as
there is a thick stream of fog, adjust the throttle valve by turning it clockwise approximately
6 full turns (but this may vary) to produce a spray that will lightly dampen target from a
distance of 1.5-2 metres. At full throttle the fogger dispenses approximately 250ml of liquid
per minute. The adjustment should reduce it down to approximately 200ml per minute.
6. Hold the fogger at a distance of 1.5 – 2 metres from one wall, directing the fog towards the
wall and move methodically around the room spraying walls, tables, chairs, doors, etc.
7. Spray room from top to bottom to allow Electrox Sterilising Water fog to fall and
decontaminate the air (can clean area of air at a range of 4 metres). For large rooms, as well
as fogging towards the walls, walk steadily back an forth across the room moving backwards
approximately 3m at each turn aiming the fogger in one direction to fill the open space
methodically.
8. Ensure a light coverage of Electrox Sterilising Water fog over all areas.
9. Periodically check liquid level to ensure the correct amount is being dispensed within the
calculated fogging time. It is important that the correct amount of liquid is dispensed so it
may be necessary to continue fogging for longer than the calculated time to ensure this
happens.
10. Do not over saturate areas.
11. Do not spray directly onto electrical sockets and/or open electrical devices that do not have
resistance to water (e.g. radios, etc.).
12. Once room has been fogged, allow mist to settle for a minimum of 5 minutes or until fog is
no longer visible. Then ventilate (opening a window is fine) for 2 minutes before
repopulating the room. If room has no ventilation allow a further 5 minutes before
repopulating.
