ULV Fogger for humidification / sanitization

So, I purchased this Fogger to aid my 12 disc fogger during these hot summer months
http://www.amazon.com/Tri-Jet-ULV-Thermal-Fogger/dp/B009SXBYV4/
Concerns are spores / humidity going through the machine, though it has a paper intake filter.
Anyone have experience / thoughts on using such a unit?
Also curious to know if there are any disinfectants that could be used with this that are safe for growing mushrooms. Cedar and rosemary oil based products seem to be popular 'non-toxic' solutions for insects.

Why is it that you need more than an ultrasonic fogger? You shouldn't need any disinfectant, just run plain water.
I use this coupled with a blower

I add a teaspoon or so of peroxide each day, at the least it doesn't cause any harm. I have a nine disk fogger.

Grow space is about 270 sq ft.
When I'm in-taking warm florida air, and cooling it, needs lots of humidification.
Adding peroxide to the reservoir is an interesting idea, I have used iodine in the past, but I was talking about using the fogger to actually clean the grow room periodically with some sort of cleaner.

Curious as to why the fog output pipe in your picture there goes up, then down, rather than into the top of the grow room

It was originally built for a larger grow space, that space would have been supplied from the top down via a long pipe through the center of the greenhouse, it was already cemented in when I changed my mind.
Due to advice given on this forum, it was determined that humidification from the bottom would be more efficient.
