Hello all,
I am in the process of tweaking my first chameleon setup and had a question regarding misting systems. I have always shied away from using automated misters because of the need to use RO water to prevent the system breaking down over time. In my local area, there are no sources for RO water and I would not want to invest in the cost of an RO system for my own use.
I know that it is the buildup of elements and minerals in tap water that cause a mister to break down, but wanted to know if there were any other solutions to this issue (other than RO water) and / or if anyone knows how long a system would typically last before this happens.
As it stands, I am planning on doing hand misting in addition to a room humidifier and drip system, but if this proves to not be enough, I may have to go the automated route and want to know what my options are on that end.
I appreciate your time and help.
