Mister connected to hose faucet, need ideas!

[jamest0o0]

In my laundry room I have a few hose spigots. I am able to run a line through the ceiling of my game room into my garage(where the reptiles will be kept). I found this MK adapter

But, I'm sure the water coming from my hose(I have well water too) would ruin mistking nozzles pretty fast.

Any ideas? Would be nice to not have to worry about filling a reservoir.

They also have an attachment to connect and RO system straight to the pump.

I use a garden hose to mist a whole bunch of outside cages. I got these yard misters off of Amazon, they work great and if they log up you can loosen the cap and re-tighten it to clear the clog.

The name:
Gesentur [Upgraded 2018] Misting Cooling System - 75.46ft（23M） Misting Line + 30Metal Mist Nozzles + a Brass Adapter(3/4) for Outdoor Patio Garden Home Irrigation Trampoline

Oh nice! Missed that. I'm kind of a newb with plumbing lol. They even have a diagram for how to lay it all out.

So I'd have my RO unit connected to the hose spigot in my basement which then connects to the pressurized water somehow(I need to look more into this to get a better understanding), and finally goes to the solenoid->pump->cages

Ya I’m not sure how the hose would hook up to the ro system. Usually connects to the inline under a sink.

I have RO system already, there's adapters to hook them up to a hose spigot. Could even use the mistking one, no?

Oh ya probably. I don’t have an ro system so I only know what I’ve read and seen in diagrams.

I guess another option could be just run a hose through the ceiling with one of those attachable filters:

And then hook up a timed mister nozzle to the hose like @Chameleophlaged mentioned.

Can you put a filter between the spigot to the line?

Your welcome.

You’ll need that RO system for the plans below. Do not install the auto resovior without the continuous drainage.

Stop! Do yourself a favor, set this up the right way the first time! You are investing a decent chunk of change in your misting system, might as well get all you can out of it.

Below are my plans for a self refilling and self draining custom H2O management system that you can build and install for about $50 + cost of your RO system($120).

All of these parts are readily available at Home Depot. I bought the resovior from the pet section of Walmart, it was sold as a large dog food storage bin and was the most expensive part. I suggest getting a clear resovior so you can keep an eye on the function of the valve and water level/clarity. My resovior is about 12”Wx12”Dx18”T. Just make sure your resovior is tall enough to house the toilet valve.
All your doing is splicing a T into your existing waterline and running a new one to where ever your resovior will be. Install the toilet valve in your resovior and connect it to the line you just ran. You will need to have the resovior blocked up off the floor a few inches so you have clearance for your hose an fittings plus your resovior has to be above your pump anyway.
From here follow the instructions from Mistking to install that. Once the pump is installed put the shower drain in the base of your enclosure and run the drainage line so it empties under your house or tie it straight into your home’s plumbing drains.
Your resovior now works just like your toilet. As the mistking pulls water from the resovior the toilet valve will be triggered and automatically refill the resovior. It takes a while for the mistking to pull enough water to trigger the valve, I’d say that with my current misting schedule the valve is triggered once a day max...
