This might be relevant: We have a countertop ice maker. The instructions are to clean it very infrequently, as even very dilute chemicals can deteriorate the ice making metal surfaces. Instead, every night, the machine is drained and allowed to dry out completely. This, or so I am told, prevents bacteria growth. I wonder whether simply using fans through our fogging pipes during the day might have the same effect?
That is an idea, that was presented last I spoke about fogger bacteria. @Taylor81 said she does this, and she hasnt cleaned the pipes or the system in a long time I believe and has not noticed bacteria, YMMV.
However it is a valid idea to deal with the bacteria aspect in the tubes. I would still be leary of the "reservoir" and the particles of contamination that could be introduced by the fans.
However a point of contention in the idea, is the presence of water. If your to leave the fogger fan on everyday, you have simply changed media. You have turned a fogger into an evap cooler, it will still be blowing humid air through the tubes. To completely dry out, the fogger would have to be dumped, completely and then the fan turned on.
