Misting sytem??

[Mrnicolai]

I have 8 exoterra that i currently mist manually with one of those pump sprayers. I am going to have to switch to an automatic system soon. What do any of you use. Is there one I can hook up to a steady water supply so i dont have to keep refilling it?

Well I use Mist King's automatic misting system. Two nozzels for a 55, though I think a third nozzle would be slightly better. I hooked it up to a 2 gallon jug (reminds me I have to go a refill now). I refill it every 4-5 days. I don't know of any to you don't have to refill. But I suppose they make them, they make everything.

I have mine connected inline to an RO water reservoir. It works like a charm. I wouldn't recommend connecting it to tap water as the minerals will clog your nozzles.

check out my site for more details on mising system

I have a D.I. set up with a UV sterilizer hooked up to a water line.(use t for fish tanks).

Do you have a pressurized tank into which the water collects?
like this:

[Mrnicolai]

No but thats a good idea!!! If i can get a pressurized tank i can just run lines from there and put a solenoid valve on the outfeed pipe with a timer on it. I will look into that right now.

You will still need a pump though. Pressurized tank will only give you 7psi which is enough to make things drip but not nearly enough to mist

[Mrnicolai]

Hmm... I will look around at work today and see what i can find.

[Mrnicolai]

OK, i found a "little Giant" pump to use. I also have a pressure tank that was used for steam. it is stainless steel and i will just have to weld different fittings on it. The just may work out after all.

be sure to post how you make out with it.
