Electrostatic Sprayers vs Foggers: What's The Difference?
A common question we get asked is what the differences between electrostatic sprayers and foggers are. In this section, we'll cover just that.
It’s pretty simple: Electrostatic sprayers produce charged droplets that actively attract to surfaces when produced. Electrostatic sprayers are known to quickly and efficiently disinfect surfaces. They also tend to be priced more expensive than foggers.
Foggers deliver very small droplets that passively sit on surfaces depending on the direction they’re sprayed in. Gravity also has some effect on whether or not foggers will thoroughly cover and disinfect surfaces. This means foggers may result in uneven and incomplete coverage on surfaces.
So, in short, we recommend using electrostatic sprayers to disinfect surfaces because they produce charged droplets which quickly and efficiently cover and disinfect surfaces.
Are UV lights better than electrostatic sprayers for disinfection?
UV lights are not recommended over electrostatic sprayers for disinfection. This is for several reasons:
1. Electrostatic sprayers aren't dangerous to use, UV lights are because they can permanently damage your eyes.
2. UV lights are sometimes more expensive than electrostatic sprayers.
3. Electrostatic sprayers are more easy to use than UV lights for disinfection.
