mister question

[chamimom]

Hey, all. So I searched some threads to see if I could find an answer for my question, but there is so much, my eyes are starting to hurt and I still have to do some reading for some studies I have going on. I was wondering if and how you guys clean your mister tubing/nozzles. I'm sure they need cleaned and sanitized with water running through constantly. Would you run apple cider vinegar through it and just make sure to rinse really well before putting it back to work in the enclosure?

Anyone? lol

I have used hot water and vinegar with my mister and it has worked in the past. Let it soak for a few minutes. I also had a time when that did not work with the nozzle and I had to use an air compressor.

I use diluted F10 and run it trough the hoses and nozzles. I only have 4 enclosures hooked up to mister. (Its a pain because I have to take everything off the enclosures)
I run about a gallon, then I add 2 gallons of clean water and run it again to rinse it out.
I do this about twice a year.

Thanks so much, @BuddyHollytheCham (awesome name, lol) and @Thatwizard420. Yeah, that would be a pain. I have two separate misters for mine, and they aren't time consuming to get off or anything, so hopefully it won't be that much of a pain for me, lol).
