Removing the fog tank

The fog tank sits at the top of the plant wall frame and holds the fogger and the water it turns into the fine mist your roots grow in. This guide takes the fog tank out and puts it back. You do this to reach the fogger, either on its own when support asks you to troubleshoot it, or as the first part of another task such as replacing the fogger.

Have a T10 screwdriver to hand

Do not touch the white discs on the fogger.

The fog tank holds water that pours out as you remove it. It can be heavy, and the water can spill, so be careful when removing it. Two people make this easier, one to hold the tank while the other works the screws.

Pull out either end of the power supply, at the wall or at the bottom of the cabinet.

Support the fog tank from below with one hand. With the T10 screwdriver, undo the two middle screws on top of the plant wall frame. Keep holding the fog tank once the screws are out, since nothing else holds it in place.

Lower the fog tank until it reaches the wider point on the frame. Tilt it to the right so the drain tube starts emptying it, and wait until it is fully empty.

Lift the fog tank clear of the frame and hold it over a surface that water will not damage.

If you removed the fog tank as part of another task, finish that task before you put the tank back.

Hold the fog tank against the frame from below and line it up with the two screw holes.

Refit the two middle screws with the T10 screwdriver, then tighten them.

Plug the cabinet back in.
