Mistking Misting Issue (with video)

mikehauschild1 · Nov 21, 2016

Hey all - I installed my Mistking but the mist isn't coming out. I have the pump below the reservoir/bucket, then I have about a 5 foot line going up to the nozzles, then another 5 foot line going back down to the pump. So to give you an idea of levels of each item, the pump is on the ground, the reservoir is one foot above that, and the nozzles are 5 feet above that.

Here's a video:

Can anyone help me out?

Their may have been air stuck on the lines.

May I ask why you have the bucket in the cage? If it's to reuse water that drops back in, I'd suggest against that. Don't know what that water is running over ( like feces) and back into circulation to be drank.

I was wondering this as well

The open bucket in the cage looks like a potential drowning hazard as well.

Put a lid on the bucket so that the water does not get contaminate, then clog or ruin your pump. It sounds as if you had air in your lines, but also make sure that the lines are pushed in far enough [although they would probably leak if they were not. Congrats!
