    I just built one of these using a very cheap water filter canister. The clear ones at lowes were around $40.00, I found one that works perfectly on Amazon for $8.80. It uses standard 1/4" NPT connections and made for a super easy build.

    Amazon.com: 10" Standard Filter Housing, Clear/Black, 1/4" in/out: Kitchen & Dining

    Perfect timing Jim! Was just about to go and spend $30 at the local hardware store. The Amazon one looked great UNTIL I found out they won't ship to Canada. Found the same filter at AMI for the same price but they want $32 just to ship it.

    Thanks anyway!

    Hi Jim,

    I am thinking of building one of these fogbusters and would like to know where to get the plans for the one you built. Are they available?

    Thanks,

    Hi Marty, the thread title is "How I built a fog-less coolant mister", so I'd suggest reading this thread.

    Hi Guys

    What are you Guys using in your DIY Fog Blasters (FB)? Anyone using a Flood Coolant Mix? I would think it should work fine. When I get around to building my FB, I want to be able to use the same Nozzle for booth Coolant/Air and Air. I think you can do this by adding a couple Valves. One Nozzle makes for a simpler setup plus you only require one mounting system for the Nozzle.

    For those of you that are using the water filter canisters. How do you run the tubing into the bottom of the tank?
