Can those of you with ultrasonics tell me how much current they use?

Just wondered if you could tell me the mains voltage and current draw of your foggers?

Thanks

I have a cool mist humidifier.  120V 1 amp.  Not sure if this is same as ultrasonic!!  Hope this helps.

They're not.  A Cool Mist Humidifer uses an impeller to stir up the water into a mist.  An ultrasonic uses a hot plate to heat the water to a vapor.

No, an ultrasonic uses sound waves to liberate the water into the air.  To the OP, it's going to depend on the model.  I would suspect all will be under 1 amp in draw, so that would be roughly 120 watts or less.

I bow to the master. :bow2: I was mistaken.  Good to know though.

Thanks all for your replys. I was considering hooking one up to a relay and was just considering what rating I'd need.
