Mist King nozzle question

Just in case it would be needed, could the Mist King Value L Double Misting Assembly be separated into two nozzle heads?
 
No it can not.
Must get the T head for connection or with the L head you can split the tube with the T value or Y value for splitting the tube before connecting to the L head
 
Yes. Infact that is what i did to get more coverage. You just have to buy more tubing.
I brought couple extra myself and you were able to take them apart to use each head separately ? Wondering how you did that...

When I order from Mist King, the upgrade option [from single nozzle to double] is $5, so if I can separate the heads, I would like to do it.

I never heard or seen it happen but if someone says they did it then I'm confused and not sure. From my knowledge it shouldn't be able to so I'm not sure. My advice is either just get normal L single head with the package and buy another T single head or use the double head you get from package. Which should be enough spray in an enclosure since you can adjust the head too.

Im not following. The value can be taken apart at the T and then the 2 half inch pieces of hose can then be replaced with any length.

Above is someone who removed one nozzle from the T and replaced it with a plug.
 
It kinda looks like they are just typical fittings that just push together and can be pulled apart. But I'm a pretty strong guy and have broken lots of stuff that I thought can be pulled apart easily.

Pro tip, you push the "ring" against the fitting, and then pull the hose out.
Now to set the hose, you push the hose into the fitting with the "ring" pushed against the fitting.
Now here is the trick, you have to give the hose a good tug to get the ring to seat.

Alot of people just shove the hose in and call her good, and wonder why they have slow leaks. You have to set the rings.
 
Next question, is it worth the $5 to upgrade from the ST-24 seconds timer, to the RTC-24 Repeat Second Timer?

Are you watering your cham at night, if so get the RTC-24...

Honestly i just have the $20 120v lamp timer that can go on/off 6-8 times a day.

Remember mistkings bread and butter is ubber complicated hydroponics systems.

All the cham needs is a bone simple membrane pump on a bucket that misted for 5-10min 5-10 times a day. You are not running a nutrient pump for seconds at a time growing $$$ rare plants 24/7.

I may be a weight lifter, but I am also a geek. [There ain't much to do in between sets if you are a serious weight lifter, so I decided to learn how to build computers]. My lights and humidifier are controller by a computer operated X10 system. But, if the RTC is better, I'd rather spend the 5 bucks, since it ain't much money.

Its not "better", it has a "better" night time mode for hydroponics. If you have an X10 system, just buy an x10 appliance controller (works with 3 prog and florience lights) and run the mistking off that.

Ill be honest, i do not like the mistking base. For some odd reason they decided to not use industry standard RO pumps, and made their own proprietary 24v dc pump so you are married to them. So get this, you need a 24v switch mode power supply for the pump, and then another switch mode power supply for the controller. They couldnt even engineer it so the controller could run inline with the pump power supply. So you plug in the 24v power supply for the pump, into the controller, and then out to the pump.

You are much better off getting a AQUATEC CDP 6800 or 8800(3/8" in/out monsters) made in usa RO booster pump and getting the rest from mistking. They are rebuild-able and cost $60-90. Then you can run it off a seconds lamp timer or a fancy x10 controller.

Thanks. I have the plug in 2 prong and 3 prong appliance controller. Most of my switches are now Insteon. The Keypad Linc only seem to last 3 years, or less if a big surge takes one out, even with a whole home surge protector on each of my two 200 amp service boxes!
